{"product_id":"kenji-kawai-ghost-in-the-shell-original-soundtrack","title":"Kenji Kawai – Ghost In The Shell (Original Soundtrack)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis haunting score ties in beautifully with the spirit of the Japanese animated film \u003cem\u003eGhost in the Shell\u003c\/em\u003e, based on the books from Shirow Masamune. Composer Kenji Kawai serves up a chilled platter of deep drums, gongs, shakers, bells, female vocals, shimmering keyboards, and vaporous ambience. A somber and powerful rhythm dominates most of these tracks, but percussionist Yuhki Sugawara maintains emotional content rather than mere drum exercises, as he pounds, taps, palms, and skips across a wide array of instruments. At times this album is bleak and sparse, but always engaging. Gongs float upward from the depths like huge jellyfish, female choirs run chills down the spine, and keyboards breathe softly in the distance. — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/ghost-in-the-shell-original-motion-picture-soundtrack--mw0000734790\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eAllMusic\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e—\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach track has a different genre, ranging from psychedelic to jazz, from traditional Japanese music to blues. The piece that opens the film is \"The Ballade Of Puppets: Flowers Grieve And Fall,\" a traditional Japanese music piece, spectacular because it is sung by a choir of 135 people accompanied by the sound of Japanese drums. To make it even more mysterious and impactful, it was recorded under a cave to enhance the echo effect. Then it transitions to two Jazz pieces, featuring one of the most famous jazz artists in Japan: Kimiko Itoh. \"River of Crystals\" showcases all of Kimiko's talent, while \"Follow me,\" the track accompanying the end credits of the film, is a very melancholic but equally beautiful song. \"Attack The Wakabayashi\" is a very engaging instrumental piece, one of those used in films to accompany action scenes, and Kenji Kawai did a fantastic job pairing it with the film's climax. \"The Doll House I\" and \"The Doll House II\" are two very slow pieces, accompanied by a keyboard that calls to mind the movements of a doll, which is one of the theories the film is based on. – (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.debaser.it\/ghost-in-the-shell\/lattacco-dei-cyborg-original-soundtrack-by-kenji-kawai\/review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eDebaser\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ceBW3RbrL0E?si=SjcGQ7wzFGco5PR3\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVinyl Tracklist\u003cbr\u003eA1 M01 謡I - Making Of Cyborg\u003cbr\u003eA2 M02 Ghosthack (本編未使用)\u003cbr\u003eA3 EXM Puppetmaster\u003cbr\u003eA4 M04 Virtual Crime\u003cbr\u003eA5 M05 謠 II - Ghost City\u003cbr\u003eB1 M06 Access\u003cbr\u003eB2 M07 Nightstalker\u003cbr\u003eB3 M08 Floating Museum\u003cbr\u003eB4 M09 Ghostdive\u003cbr\u003eB5 M10 謠 III - Reincarnation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: WRWTFWW\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue\u003cbr\u003eReleased: 2017\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Electronic, Stage \u0026amp; Screen\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Soundtrack, Abstract, Ambient, Anison\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Soundtracks\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WRWTFWW Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67846531874974,"sku":"7640153366719","price":60.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/a1190473483_10.jpg?v=1793181825","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.com\/products\/kenji-kawai-ghost-in-the-shell-original-soundtrack","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
