Song title: Inner Universe
Artist: Origa
Year: 2002
Why I like this song:
Yoko Kanno tries her hand at industrial. Why not? She's tried many other genres.
This is the opening to the Ghost in the Shell TV series Stand Alone Complex. And whereas the movie opened with a hymn sung in Bulgarian, this does a similar trick with it being sung in Russian.
Also helps that the hits like a truck with the synths and beats. Having a child soprano doesn't hurt either.
Keep in mind, it had been years since the movie and many people had been crying out for a follow up since. And when it did, it was after the cinematic landscape had been changed by The Matrix, one of Ghost in the Shell's disciples. Thus the use of industrial suggests some degree of cross-pollination.
No matter, it still works a treat.
