The long-awaited analog release of Ghost in the Shell ~ Video Game Soundtrack is here!
The 2LP set, originally released in 1997, is back with refreshed artwork!
Please note: The distribution of the set of three "Ghost in the Shell" jacket artwork stickers will end once supplies run out.
There will be no announcements regarding the end of distribution. Thank you for your understanding in advance.
・All tracks digitally remastered
・Cutting by Rashad Becker, renowned as the "genius" cutting engineer, who has worked with numerous club artists like Richie Hawtin and Ricardo Villalobos (previously from Dub Plate & Mastering Studio).
As 90s techno experiences a resurgence in popularity, this 2LP set—long coveted for floor use—returns. It includes new additions such as Hardfloor's Spook & Spell (Fast Version), previously not included on the 1997 vinyl, and a remastered To Be or Not To Be (Off The Cuff 2024 Redefined Mix), supervised by Derrick May himself. The artwork expands on the world of Ghost in the Shell through techno sounds, and the original 1997 art direction and Yamato-e illustrations were done by contemporary artist Takashi Murakami.
