Pre-Order: Toshiyuki Honda * Metropolis (2001) [OST] [2LP]

Toshiyuki Honda's legendary score to Rintaro's 2001 animated masterpiece comes to vinyl for the first time! Whether human or robot, you can now enjoy the film's New Orleans-style jazz soundtrack in it's most fitting medium. Now a cult classic, Metropolis' legacy lives on not only in it's score but also as one of the most heavily detailed animated films of all time, in large part to the hand-drawn backgrounds by art director Shuichi Kusamori (also known for Ghost in the Shell). Presented in the gatefold spread is a new, high resolution scan of one of these ultra-detailed backgrounds by Kusamori, provided courtesy of Riekeles Gallery.
