Techno in Anime

Postby Kura Ookami » Mon Aug 22, 2005 7:28 am

I'm wondering if there's any animes which have techno music in them? Does anyone know of any?
Absence is to love as wind is to a flame. It extinguishes the little, it ignites the great.

Life is a test. It is only a test. Had this been real life you would have have been instructed where to go and what to do.

When i argue with reality I lose.....But only 100% of the time.

While I didn't care for Initial D I really like the music. Filled with Techno so that is the title I would point you to. Just to add, the techno soundtrack in only found on the subtitle track, not the dub. You may want to look into purchasing the soundtracks.

Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 has lots of rad electronic music and I think there were some face-melting guitar solos, too.

Quite a few of the tracks on the Mai-Hime soundtrack were very techno inspired. Unfortunately, I must say that I can't recommend this title itself. The Soundtrack, on the other hand, I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

The Appleseed Soundtrack is all electronic type music(pretty much all) including Pual Okenfield and The Boom Boom Satelites!

The original Bubblegum Crisis is 80's style techno-punk. The new series (2040) is probably more in the line of what you are looking for.

Armitage (Polymatrix and Dualmatrix) both have techno music as well that's worth listening to.

Both Armitage soundtracks have been released in the US. I don't think BGC soundtracks have been, though, so they will be expensive to obtain legally.

Animatrix and Ghost in the Shell:Stand Alone Complex

Both have a mix of techno and synthetic beat type stuff.

Interstella 5555, maybe? The whole thing is basically a long music video for Daft Punk.

Techno, yeah, but it's more house. Still really good.

No problem. It is techno, but it's more "house", which is a bit different.
