Music Suggestions

A few suggestions:

<b>Soundtrack to Ghost in the Shell</b> - all but two tracks are progressive in what they use. The neat thing is that few can understand what the chorus sings because it's in ancient Japanese! This is an absolute MUST HAVE album. I'll be glad to send you snippets of songs if you're curious. It's hard to come by in the state. Had to order direct from a Japanese company.

<b>Soundtrack to Akira</b> - Not sure this is progressive but it's definitely unique. Some uptempo and mellow stuff arranged very unusually.

<b>War of the Worlds</b> - This is very pop-ish but it tells a theatre wide story and that for me qualifies it as prog. Made by Jeff Wayne, I think, it's the one that features 70s music stars such as Justin Hayward and is narrated by Richard Burton.

I also suggest checking out other music by Kenji Kawai, who did the Ghost in the Shell soundtrack, such as the Patlabor 2 (2002 version) soundtrack. Some very nice stuff here.
