Excillon Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Ever see an anime and really get into the music? I finally bought and watched the new Appleseed movie, and I discovered an absolutely AWESOME band out of Japan called Boom Boom Satellites. If you haven't heard them, I highly recommend them. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sketchley Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 If you like that kind of stuff, you should check out the *real* Japanese musicians. To be honest, music in anime is sometime little more than the voice actors doing an image song. I am, by no means attempting to lessen the musical worth or value of the artists mentioned (I too went out and purchased an original of the "Appleseed" OST to get the music by Boom Boom Satellites and others.) Nevertheless, anime music isn't the only music coming out of Japan. Looking through the Appleseed OST, the songs are by: CD 1 (techno/dance/rock/etc. songs) Boom Boom Satellites (Japan) Paul Oakfield (the UK) Basement Jaxx (the UK) T. Raumschmiere (Germany) Ryuichi Sakamoto (Japan and the USA) Atom (Chile) - His name is written as Atom(trade mark symbol) Carl Craig VS ADULT (the USA) Akufen (Canada) That's a pretty international group if you ask me... CD 2 (the OST composer) Tetsuya Takahashi (Japan) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myk Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Most anime titles have at least a coupla' tracks that you can get into. I liked the new Area 88's mix of rock and techno, although most of those tracks didn't make it into the U.S. release of the dvd's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again that's like saying that anybody who draws anime isn't an artist or a jogger who doesn't run in the Boston Marthon isn't a runner.

sketchley Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 You missed the point. John Williams does not equal manufactured boy (or girl) bands, does he? Yes, I did a no-no - I generalized. However, please take it with a grain of salt. There are exceptions to every rule, after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginrai Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Appleseed has an amazing soundtrack. (Well, I don't care about disc 2.) I was already pretty into Basement Jaxx and Adult, but I really got into Boom Boom Satellites after that soundtrack, and AtomTM is amazing, so I've been getting into that too. And it's Paul Oakenfold, BTW, who is a pretty big name in electronic music, but he doesn't usually do it for me, but his track on this album was pretty good.
