Monster (original Soundtack) by Kuniaki Haishima

Very beautiful package: the CD case comes in a black slipcase and features a 12-page booklet and a sticker (with the same picture as the front of the booklet).

For The Love Of Life is the track that David wrote for animated TV version of one of the most successful Manga comic series ever printed. “Monster” is the work of acclaimed Manga author Naoki Urasawa.

David Sylvian quote in the booklet

I was attracted to the Monster material by the moral dilemma faced by its central character.
The calm surface of the music giving way to darker undercurrents signifying the conscience of the lead protagonist and the themes of morality, fate, resignation, and free will.
David Sylvian
