Description
The Ghost in the Shell franchise is a veritable multimedia phenomenon, spanning manga, anime, film, video games, and beyond. No matter the medium, the series’ cross-cultural cyberpunk aesthetic has more than stood the test of time. Ghost in the Shell has inspired legendary franchises such as The Matrix, Metal Gear Solid, and even James Cameron’s Avatar.
Ghost in the Shell’s influence has indeed spread far and wide, granting it legendary status deep within unexpected corners of enthusiasts and fans. This album is a shining example of that phenomenon. If you’re familiar with this release, you already know what we mean. If not, please allow the team at iam8bit to introduce you to: The Ghost in the Shell Megatech Body 2xLP.
Here is a collection of pulse-pounding, warehouse-shaking, bass-rattling techno that has reached mythical status among connoisseurs of the genre. Originally composed for the Ghost in the Shell PlayStation game from 1997, this soundtrack features contributions from legendary figures who have defined the techno scene since the 90s such as Derrick May, Hardfloor, and Westbam, compiled and sound directed expertly by Takkyu Ishino.
What’s more, artist Takashi Murakami provided the album’s stellar art direction, including stunning Yamato-e illustrations that bring Ghost in the Shell’s visionary world new life.
We are proud to partner with our friends at U/M/A/A to help make this incredible record available once again, pressed on high-quality black vinyl to ensure an optimal listening experience. Take it from us: You need to have this record in your VGM collection.
