Lupin the Third [Original Soundtrack]
Released
The best caper TV shows and movies always have a banging soundtrack to match – see James Bond, Mission: Impossible, Peter Gunn, etc. Japan’s answer to those super spies? The irrepressible super-thief Lupin III. Although he’s appeared in over a dozen series, specials, and features over the past 50 years, this collection of music from his second TV run contains some of the funkiest jams. From the banging theme (which had its own remix album in the 90s) to soul grooves and acid freak-outs, it provides an alternately sleazy, sly, and thrilling look into the life of the ultimate gentleman thief.
