Taking a sharp left here to talk about some more soundtrack stuff. As the title would suggest the following are all taken from the few anime soundtracks I have in my collection. Now that may have just sounded incredibly nerdy but trust me here alright? Kicking off with Inner Universe which may be the finest opening tune ever devised. As at home standing alone (heh) as it is in the opening credits, I'll forever love the contrast between the electronics and Origa's unique vocal contributions which go hand in hand with the world of Ghost In The Shell incredibly well.
Moving into something a little more recent now, the OST to Jormungand has a real nice electronic slant to it in parts. I'm saving some of the more housey numbers for another day, so instead have this slightly out-of-place downtempo trip-hop esque number from it. The flute(?) running alongside throughout is giving me serious Weekend World era E-Z Rollers vibes and I sure ain't complaining about that.
And finally, another slight oddity from the Trigun OST. Nestled between spaghetti western Spanish guitar and all manner of other world music influences comes Philosophy In A Tea Cup, with a fairly unique blend of breakbeat and piano that's pretty far from my usual comparison of Omni Trio. I want to say there's something distinctly Japanese about it's stylings but then again like last time I mentioned this tune I feel like it would be just as much at home on an early Ninja Tune comp too.
