image album

For those of you who do not know, an image album is a prereleased album for a Japanese animated film which comprises musical sentiments the composer produces based on initial sketches of the film. In most cases, the music morphs into the official album but sometimes not. The image album for Howl's Moving Castle, in my opinion, is better than the official album but it is the opposite for Spirited Away. The release of Ponyo on a Cliff by the Sea is sometime this summer but the image album, but the incomparable Joe Hisaishi has already been compiled. Oh to get my hands on that abulm. There is a lengthy review over at GhibliWorld.com though. It is too bad we have to wait so long in the states.
