The first-ever vinyl release of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex O.S.T. 3, the second soundtrack from Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. 2nd GIG, pressed as a 2LP gatefold set.
Composer Yoko Kanno built these scores from an unlikely fusion: digital electronica layered over eastern European folk music, jazz, and rock, with vocals shifting between Russian, English, and Italian to evoke a borderless, cyberpunk future. It is the kind of music that sounds like nothing else, which is exactly why it defined one of the most acclaimed anime series of its era. Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex ran for 52 episodes across two seasons beginning in 2002, directed by Kenji Kamiyama and produced by Production I.G. It topped cable ratings in the United States and remains a landmark of the genre. This soundtrack was previously available only on CD across five separate releases. This is its vinyl debut.
