I have Session 0 on LD; I bought, then resold Session 0 on DVD (the first pressing of which comes with a totally useless but totally unavailable CD single that contains the full length version of "Tank"). The cover is a blue and black color scheme with Spike looking at the camera and Vicious behind him looking over his shoulder at the camera, along with a red rose. The rear cover has one of the numerous English translations of the "The work which will become a genre unto itself will be called..." speech from the Bebop concept document, whose unmolested form is contained in the Session 0 liner notes.

I'd say that Session 0 is for completists only, since most (or all?) of the other parts are available scattered throughout the R1's. If there's one thing that it _would_ be worth tracking down, but which was (to my knowledge) never released on home video, it's Session XX. This was the "thirteenth" broadcast episode, which isn't a real ending to the series but rather a retrospective where the main cast reinterprets and elaborates on what did happen in the twelve broadcast eps. It's quite fascinating, even if it was a stopgap measure until the series could be completed and released. -- /!\/!ark /!\!eidengard, EE Grad, VLSI. http://keyframe.cjas.org/~mneideng/ "Fairy of sleep, controller of illusions" Maigo no Daigakuinsei, Cornell U.

Does anyone know the name of the song that's playing in the background when Spike and Vicious first fight in the church? I believe it's ep6. Thanks in advance.

I just got the DVD, and you're close, it's episode 5. The song is Green Bird off of the Cowboy Bebop: No Disc soundtrack.

The one with the female voices singing with piano accompaniment is called 'Green Bird', and it was episode #5. Someone's made a whole webpage about it... http://www.its.caltech.edu/~isaacs/greenbird/index.html

Meta: this ought to be in the FAQ. Raam seems to get a this question at least once a week.

Danke for the suggestion, Tove, but even tho I don't police the newsgroup I am of the mind that music questions should go into raa.music's FAQ. There would be a pointer in the raa.misc FAQ that music questions are more appropriate in rec.arts.anime.music
(11th Nov, ok, I knuckled under, but do go to raa.music for anime-related questions. There's also a very good raa.music FAQ.)
