MACROSS PLUS The Cream P・U・F

by

Sharon Apple

This EP from Sharon Apple, Macross Plus' in-fiction pop star, is a bit more of a mood-setter for the film than a standalone collection, but each track brings a certain something. INFORMATION HIGH is an extended Eurodance track. Idol Talk (my favorite) is some vintage trash pop that I think could still slip into the mix at a Palm Springs pool party. The Borderline is loungy and seductive, it's sort of reaching toward Portishead. SANTI-U backs the film's finale, starting slow and dreamy, then transitioning to techno scatting, all reminding me a bit of the Akira soundtrack.

Worth it for Idol Talk, that's a damn bop.
