I remember this played when Gouda finally got what was coming to him. "You're dead wrong!"

You know something real is about to go down when you hear this song lol.

Reminds me always of the finale with the death of Goda. The music is so fitting.

3:17 "You think so, do you? Well you're dead wrong." Greatest fucking scene ever.

this is off the fourth OST disc and is titled "Banquet Firewall" Took me few years of trolling various anime cons to find it, but was well worth the trouble

Mah man. He died because he made a very crucial mistake: he assumed the goverment would play by their own rules. But don't be fooled. Those laws are for you, my loyal citizen, not for those who make the laws.

@wtfsaywat The scene when they are in the tilt-rotor getting briefed about Kuze on the way to Bertarve is the best scene with this song

This is obviously a big homage to Lux Aeterna. Even hints to the voicework exist. I simply love Yoko Kanno.

love it all.. I was in Buenos Aires and I listened to the soundtrack every night. It felt amazing since I was in such a foreign place

A masterpiece 💕

Yeah I noticed the similarities right away when I first heard it during Second Gig. It is indeed pulled from the "smooth in the shell" disc which I bought in that uber huge set from Japan, I just edited it down to this singular piece because I'm so fond of it and wanted to share.

@BackAgainize He's a really excellent villain. The virtual convo the Major has with him is my favorite use of his character in the series. "And what about Section 9?" "Yes...what about them?"

Weird how I am JUST NOW finding this song.

YES!! Finally found it!! Thanks for uploading!! Man, I've been looking for this song everywhere!!!

Ah yes the moment burned into my memory of mr lemonhead getting ventilated.

This is part of the "Smooth in the Shell" collection. It starts playing in about 13 minutes in or "-35:28" in countdown format (for winamp users) If you are lucky and persistent you can still find it somewhere...

YAY thankyou thankyou I played like all the ost and I finally found this thankyou for uploading this

This song is fucking beast, I just finished 2nd gig amazing anime.

N64 James Bond Goldeneye, I could swear it!

Great song.... heartfelt thank you, especially because it IS hard to find!!!!

This is clearly the greatest show I have ever seen on tv, thanks for sharing this very rare song, also my favorite. I hope for a world not based on politics and money and greed, on coexistence and valuing PEOPLE. Thanks man, and forever with Kazundo Ghoda!

I've never heard all of this tune,although I like this series. Thank you !

My favorite song of all TIME.

why not? I stumbled across this again surfin through the gits tracks :) Can't believe I've basically listened to this stuff non stop for the past 2 weeks. "I do" in guitar by hironou was awesome

Me too, I'm glad I was able to find it - has lots of good stuff on it that I couldn't find.

Love this OST

remember that CIS in glasses who walks almost next to Ghoda? Lol.....just like me....I love this guy....the dark intelligence makes him the greatest villian I have ever seen on picture. I just came back from a hotel for my Model UN class, I...remembered the show. I know what I say is childish, but it did actually inspire me.....this show is awesome. UN, nukes, countries...so many modern issues in one show.

awesome track

You're right! It does sound like a remix of Requiem for a Dream.

This show however has indeed really reminded me, with characters like Ghoda...that we stand alone. I went through a tragedy in my life, kind of like Ghoda, that damaged an organ so I can't act like I used to but....I like his sense of mind, that is, he is extremely intelligent, forget Sec. 9...every viewer can see. I will respond if you wish, but the limits...to close in the words of Ghoda......"My, what a FACSINATING STORY..." Thx again man, I will subscribe Matt, Ohio

So epic :O

This OST from 2nd GIG has a slight bit of Lux Aeterna to it because of the violin, it was nice during the operations But I am looking for the beautiful, bittersweet, intense song that plays in S.A.C 2nd GIG episode 24 when Section 9 helicopter enters the refugee dojima city and is chased by Jigabachi AI helicopter!!

Kazundo Ghoda is my favorite cjharacter in all of GITS. He reminds me of myself.

@Lex90210 It does... perhaps too much. Except that Yoko Kanno manages to give a cyberfunk feel to it.

The one song that was never brought out from the 2nd gig (I still can't find it, not on smooth in the shell or any OST) is from episode 13 "Make up" at the end during the fight between Pazu and his former lover. That piece was some beautiful guitar playing.

Lux Aeterna all the way. Also there is a theme in that episode that starts like Imperial March. It is not plagiarism, but rather nice allusions to the renown epics. Also I never seen Requiem for the Dream, which makes things quite amusing, as Lux Aeterna suits well into all kinds of epic scenes (a film covering the topic of drug addiction is just not epic enough, yet...).

One last thing about this great villian.... lol....scary for those who might not admire him as much as I do.... he probably knows where Wal-Mart is...and steps out often for some fast-food or whatever.... he is the ulitmate post-modern villian, many in America probably might not understand a show like GITS......thanks again, and I won't flood the comments, I am just amazed by this show, my favorite scene, btw.....Ghoda and Batou on the rooftop....greatest scene in all of GTIS....along with

a song on necular power when they are in the helecopter about 6 min in

Since I havent seen anyone name it, i'll name it. New World's Finest.

to complete that you know you wish you couldve been walking around in a prosthetic body too haha

The song you speak of is a brass version of "Go DA DA" which I'd really like to find, too.

Again one LAST thing dude....sorry if I flooded your comments....those limits on words and everything. Peace--Matt

@adinemeth Cool, been thinking about rewatching it lately. The part I'm talking about is when Aramaki is briefing the team when they're in the tilt rotor. I THINK it's when they're on their way to Bertarve but I'm not sure.

@PzVIE43 I just recently re-watched the series, but could you explain me more clearly which scene do you think about? I know it's played over and over at peak points. I also love it, thanks for sharing. Kinda mysterious secret agent song, fits in very well! Omg, this is SUCH a series ((:

Wow! I love it *-* Where can I download it?

I want the song that plays during the assassination attempt in Ep. 5 "Inductance". And I CANNOT for the life of me find it, I have all the OST. I want it! I want it!

@PzVIE43 Ohh, sorry, I watched the dubbed version in which I don't remember any Bertrave place, but now I think I know what scene you mentioned before. It's taken place at somewhere at the end of the second anime series (ep19?), when they are heading to this former russian city of one of the kurill islands. Ishikawa is hospitalized at the end maybe. Wow if this anime come to my mind I still get shaking, it is so realistic, haha! Ps.: Worth to watch again! New thoughts are always coming up (:

@Metzgermeist amen

It sounds like Requiem for a dream

Hopefully this has the drums from the 2nd gig episode with Cyberbird and the Jiggabachis. It's called "Natural Enemy."

@PzVIE43 He's also talking about getting the authority to call out the CIS on their manipulation

nice song. would you by any chance have the song that was played when Batou vs Kuze? It's playing when Batou shoots at kuze then kuze blocks the bullets with his hand. then they start fighting with their knives.

Talking of rare SAC 2nd Gig music, anyone know what the last song played at the end of episode 11 before the credit roll is? I can't find it on the OST 2 or 3, but its a really beautiful piece. Any thoughts?

I NEED to know the track that plays in episode 22 of the first season.. it plays from 5:50 to 8:35

@dirtybone21 its one 45 minute track one the cd and it contains all the separate songs on it back to back to back

Anyone know the track during the s02 e19 (Chain Reaction) scene where the team repels the ambush in the dock, only to find Kuze isn't there?

word

The melody is pretty similar to Clint Mansell's theme song for the movie "Requiem for a Dream", isn't it? It's pretty sad Kanno doesn't seem to compose that much on her own like I used to believe...

They really should

I hated Ghouda the first time I watched 2nd gig still do hate him after watching it a second time but he is indeed an intelligent individual and I tended to get what was going on idealogy wise and narrative wise the second time around

saito is the best fuckin sniper.

i cant seem to find a song in 2nd gig in episode 5 at 21:07 the bit where the prime minister gets attacked :(

they would make some these songs have no names :[ that explains alot

epoch to a career, hopefully international....

anybody know the song from the beginging of that epsiode when they evacute nagaski to disable a tactcial nuclear device

I'd love to have that on hand, but I don't think it's been released...

@Lex90210 People should start putting THIS on all their videos instead of that tired song

i did

Could anybody name a song played before the end of ep. 16 - SAC 2?

@dirtybone21 "Smooth in the Shell," its a really bad idea for a cd where none of the individual tracks have their own track so to speak. It's all one big run - on

Forgot cyberbird by origa.

@TheRealRuneOfRed If you dig Cowboy Bebop you should check out Samurai Champloo. Same creators and same voice actors for the english dub, its a great series.

Jason Bourne vibes...

the scences featuring Kuze and others. Aramaki reminds me of deceased senator Tom Lantos, if you know the man or the name either....this show is clearly completely underappreciated, I would expect nothing less in American culture and all it's ignorance, as much as I appreciate what neoliberlism is doing for the countries of the globalizing world.

Where can I find this image

i would like to find that song as well, do you know the name of it yet? this comment was posted 3 months ago but thats the most awsome song out of the seriies i believe

can anyone link to the scene?

Was it influenced by Saw soundtrack?Sound familiar to me.

please share

* which scene

i got it if you still need it.

:P

Please

reminds me of mass effect music somehow..

the song ok give me ten minutes and i post it on my channel ok

Requiem for a dream anyone?

It's similar to Lux Aeterna.

Gouda is a HERO! Gouda is my leader, fiction or not

For everyone bashing America in the comments saying it's citizens are ignorant and such take a step back and realize your the ignorant one for judging an entire country on a few individuals. Your image of America is most likely from our television shows which I can tell you appall most Americans. Shows like that are made because they continue to gain viewers whom most are of teenage age. Every country on every continent has it's good and it's bad characteristics. Try not to be so close minded.
