Cowboy Bebop soundtracks: OST 1, 2, and 3... the vast majority is simply incredible. Everything from the theme song (Tank!) to mellow sad bits like Waltz for Zizi. A few songs are not worth it--Rain is dreadful. In general these are more jazz/traditional rock influenced than what you have.

Cowboy Bebop: The Remixes Music for Freelance is also excellent--the Ian Pooley remix is a favorite.

I wasn't impressed with her Escaflowne music, too repetative without any dynamics.

here's a full listing of her work: http://www.jameswong.com/ykproject/disc/music.php

Yeah, there's a great box set of Kanno's Bebop stuff that's priceless.

14 years, the SAC 1&2 soundtracks still bang.

There's some very good stuff on the two Zankyou No Terror/Terror in Resonance soundtrack disks. The closing theme is especially poignant.

With her involvement, I've upgraded the upcoming live-action show from "will never watch" to "will watch and probably dislike". Netflix has a horrendous track record with anime -> live-action and I'm not sure Kanno can save this but I'm intrigued
