UV Funk 070: Anime Soundtrack Special

Not only since Vaporwave or the revived interest in Japanese Ambient and New Age experiments people know about the greatness of some anime soundtracks apart from the usual heavy metal and happy pop intros. Masterpieces like Akira or the Ghost in The Shell are beyond all doubt milestones in both film and pop music history. In addition, composers such as Joe Hisashi have made a significant contribution with their so-called image albums to emphasizing the atmosphere and character personalities in the films. UV Funk host @philipp-demankowski has picked out some anime soundtrack treasures and a few additional tunes that are at least inspired by those films and put together a mix for the show.
