some unreleased STAND ALONE COMPLEX music
Posted by kacpyNov 13
I like most of Kanno’s works, but she really likes to keep most of her music unreleased and I sometimes truly hate her for that. Just look at how much more there is in 「Chikyuu Shoujo Arjuna」, 「Wolf’s Rain」, 「Sousei no Aquarion」 and, my personal favorite of the bunch, 「GITS SAC」. In case you’re wondering why I didn’t mention Cowboy Bebop the answer is very simple: I’m one of the 10 (or so) people who don’t like that show or its BGMs.
The archive I’m sharing here is for the first season only and has about 40 minutes of 「STAND ALONE COMPLEX」 music. I ripped them from the DVDs so, thanks to my lack of skillz, some SFX sounds are still there, but I did -my best- to minimalize the annoying bits. It’s obviously not CD quality, but let’s face it - we’ll most likely never get these tracks on CDs.
This is actually my second attempt at ripping unreleased SAC stuff (as some YKDBers might remember), but I’m doing it again cause I think I managed to get it better this time. I’ll re-do 「S.A.C. 2nd GIG」 stuff when I have more time. Greetings to YKDB forums. :)
Download here (Edit: new link, I removed the last track from the old one - it was on OST2). Hope you enjoy and maybe even leave a comment? :P
*Downloads* if there’s one thing that annoys me, it’s not having every single track available on the CDs (provided I actually like the music, of course).
I enjoyed Bebop, but the music didn’t really click with me; since I like Yoko Kanno’s other work I really tried to give it a chance but in the end I had to admit that the bgm was best left well alone.

Checked out Smooth in the Shell and unfortunately didn’t find what I was looking for, guitar piece in the latter half of 2nd Gig episode 13. It was a beautiful piece and never released except in the ep. Wish I could find it.
