Inner Universe is a big current favourite of ASAHI’s, and it’s thanks to him that I discovered this one – an almost-awesome tune that now has me hoping for a genuine freeform version. Typically for Stand Alone Complex, the original track is full of hipster-friendly ‘foreign vocals’ (Russian and English, this time), but the melodies are wonderful and tailor made for melancholy sets.
This remix works well, but toning down the J-Core and handing production duties to one of the FINRG crew would be a pretty exciting prospect..
I wholly agree, this definitely needs a Suomi remix…
For the record though, Inner Universe has Latin in it too ^_^ I absolutely adore the whole GITS saga, I’ve been a massive fan since I saw the original movie in 1998. The thing with the GITS:SAC soundtrack especially, is it’s incredibly fit for purpose… It’s used perfectly. Yoko Kanno is known for using ‘excessive influences’ though, eg:

And this from 1998 (some 5 years earlier)

Anyways, sorry went a bit off topic there… It’s all pretty much perfect for what it’s made for ^_^
