The crew at iam8bit has brought back another classic video game soundtrack, as they will release the Ghost In The Shell soundtrack from 1997. A bit of a lost gem for those who had a chance to play it, the game was published by Sony and THQ (the original incarnation of the company) two years after the tech noir cyberpunk anime film, getting a lot of love in Japan and some praise in the states. But one of the big draws to the game at that time was the soundtrack, which was released on CD under the name Ghost in the Shell: Megatech Body. Now, 27 years later, that soundtrack is getting a revival with a vinyl release, which is currently up for pre-order for $55. We have more details from the company below, as it will be released to the public sometime in Q2 2025.

Ghost in the Shell's influence has indeed spread far and wide, granting it legendary status deep within unexpected corners of enthusiasts and fans. This album is a shining example of that phenomenon.
