Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex (Vinyl)

The music from the iconic Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex anime series is now coming to vinyl for the first time - previously only released on CD.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex aired in 2002 on the SKY Perfect Choice network for two seasons with a total of 52 episodes. The popular series, directed by Kenji Kamiyama, produced by Production I.G with music by Yoko Kanno, was not only a huge hit in Japan but also experienced great success abroad, topping viewership numbers on cable TV throughout the USA.

The fusion of "rawness and lyricism" that characterizes Yoko Kanno's music paints a picture of a cyberpunk world in a not-so-distant future. It blends digital electronica with echoes of Eastern European folk songs, jazz, and rock. The vocals feature a mix of languages such as Russian, English, and Italian, depicting a stateless and complex future society.
