Akira (Original Soundtrack) [LP]

The music from Katsuhiro Otomo's 1988 anime landmark Akira remains one of the most distinctive film scores ever made. Composer Shoji Yamashiro and his collective Geinoh Yamashirogumi fused Indonesian gamelan, Japanese Noh vocals, Buddhist chanting, percussion and synthesizers into something primal and futuristic at once, perfectly matched to the chaos of Neo-Tokyo. This import pressing presents the soundtrack on a single vinyl LP, a must for anime and soundtrack collectors.
