when i have all the money in the world

i will purchase each and every member of the human race a copy of yoko kanno’s ghost in the shell: stand alone complex volume 3 soundtrack. i will also personally fund Ms. Kanno’s retirement, enough finances for any endeavour she chooses, and all funds necessary to care for her family and close personal friends, and their own endeavours.

yes it’s that good.

stop reading this, go beg someone with a credit card to log onto cdjapan.co.jp – look up ghost in the shell stand alone complex, choose the third soundtrack, and have it delivered to your door.
lock yourself in a dark room, and listen to tracks 3, 7, 10, 15 and 17.
repeat this at least once, then listen to the rest of the soundtrack.

when you feel you’re ready, expose yourself to the real world and let your inspirations be unleashed.

…

no really – it really is that good. some of the best music i have ever heard in my life.
