I thought it was criminal that movie didn’t win awards for some of the cinematography, that one shot in particular.
I’ve been listening to some Peel festive forty/fifty shows, lots of quirky things like this pop up…

I was never a big anime fan, but “ghost in the shell” and the much lesser known “Vexille” were always my favorites. Vexille has an intro song which was on repeat for me for a looooooooong time.
The full track:
The Intro from Vexille:

Now listening to Manuel Göttsching’s E2-E4. From The Guardian, 2013: “E2-E4 distilled the classical minimalism of Terry Riley and Steve Reich into a groove that became a Paradise Garage anthem…E2-E4 remains as influential today, its sparse, hypnotic repetition echoing through the minimal techno moves of Basic Channel and Ricardo Villalobos, while its proto-Balearic reverie has inspired LCD Soundsystem and cosmic disco producers such as Lindstrøm.”
