Great Pretender (Original Soundtrack)

Released

Proof that some sounds are just timeless, the first disc of the score for this cracking caper show (about a team of conmen out to steal from the ultrarich and give to themselves) swings all the way back to the funky big band Henry Mancini-style sounds found in Lupin the Third while incorporating the harder edges found in Cowboy Bebop to create its own thrilling backdrop for the program’s daring heists. The second disc brings it slamming into the modern day with sweeping orchestral passages and electronic beats. A perfect encapsulation of the medium’s past and its future.
