The first of the Shiro Sagisu albums. This album is heavily influenced by the End of Evangelion film, including the perhaps infamous song Thanatos from the ending of the film. Nevertheless, the music selection on this album is wonderful. It's bluesy, jazzy, soulful, gospel-ish with an R&B flavour. Much like the Shiro's Songbook 2 that I posted a while back. I personally love the song Thanatos of course (I'm a huge Evangelion fan) but the song "Eye to Eye" also stands out as a beautifully written and performed song. Deep meanings behind the lyrics make this CD a great listen even 10 years later! Check it out

PS: I have the FULL Shiro Sagisu discography which I'll be uploading slowly here, maybe a few albums a week. There aren't many, but I also have the Lauren and Mash albums to accompany them all. Took a lot of time and money to buy all these CDs as nobody has them uploaded online, so I hope you all enjoy!!
