Plaid - Tekkon Kinkreet Soundtrack
Posted: Thu Dec 28, 2006 3:26 pm
Plaid have done the soundtrack to a new Japanese film called Tekkon Kinkreet. The soundtrack is out now in Japan.

And a bit from an interview:
Is it true that the director himself chose Plaid, a British electronic music duo, for the soundtrack?
Mike insisted that Plaid was the only band who could do it, and I think he was right too. The guys from Plaid came to Japan towards the end of the production, and when I thought they were working on the remix at the studio, it turned out that they were actually re-composing the song all over again after they saw our graphics. In their final week, they were sleeping at the studio using collapsible beds. (laugh)
EDIT: You can, of course, buy the CD online:
