Hello guys I'd like your help.
There is as anime "Hellsing" and I like its original soundtrack very mutch. That music is great. It's a little bit hard for me to  deside to whitch style that music belongs, in general it's prog, but what is it in detail?
Now the main thing: does anyone know and could recommend me something very very similar?

	Yasushi Ishii is the artist. I agree that the CDs are great, but I don't really think they're quite prog. As for similar... I've never been able to find anything, so I'm curious as well.

	I have the "Cowboy Bebop", "Trigun", "dot Hack", "FLCL", and "Neon Genesis Evangelion" (the latter a very 'progressive' show, by the way) OST's. The most 'professional' of them is definitely the first, mainly traditional jazz and other "ethnic" influences, you can really tell there was a lot of effort and though put into the arrangements. It's done by Yoko Kanno I think, a fairly well-known Japanese composer. The Trigun soundtrack is western, with sort of a desert, jazz, and blues feel, although a bit more rock and electronic than the Cowboby Bebop OST. The FLCL soundtrack also stands out, as most of it is recorded by the Japanese power trio "The Pillows". They seem to have a slight King Crimson influence, but they're mainly J-rock. The song "Pain" is in 7/8 time! The other two are less noteable, really. Especially the Evangelion soundtrack is lacking, souding mechanical and unoriginal a lot of the time. A shame, because the show is so good. I guess this concludes your glimpse into my "other" interest...

	Thanks penguindf12. Now I think I'll try to have a glimpse on The Pillows.
