Netflix’s gamble on Cowboy Bebop has paid dividends for fans. Wario64’s tweet revealed a limited-edition vinyl collection of the short-lived series’ soundtrack featuring new music by Yoko Kanno and The Seatbelts.
These were always devil’s deals on this show. It could have been better (and I maintain it was decent enough to deserve another season). It can be oppressive. (It wasn’t, but there were some really bad moments.) But whatever it is, it’s worth getting, and I can’t stress enough this, the new cowboy bebop music from Yoko Kanno and The Seatbelts.
And now we have it. Produced in collaboration with iam8bit, the soundtrack is a two-LP set featuring red vinyl and a corgi-colored furry jacket complete with Ion’s dog collar. It costs $160, and that’s a lot but still, at the risk of repeating myself, new cowboy bebop music from Yoko Kanno and The Seatbelts! (And, if $160 is too much or vinyl isn’t your thing, you can buy the digital album for $19 on Amazon Music or stream it on Spotify.)
why are you still here You can get it from Netflix here. Actually, no. Hold on a moment as I need time to secure one of the 1,000 copies for myself.
