Tricky, Boys Noize, and More Feature on a Soundtrack for 'Ghost in the Shell'

Between its controversial casting and a largely frowned-upon remix of its theme song by Steve Aoki, the reboot of Ghost in the Shell has largely been making headlines for less than rave-worthy reasons ahead of its March 31 release.

But the remake of the 1995 Japanese animated sci-fi classic has engendered a bit more goodwill with the unveiling of an accompanying soundtrack, Music Inspired by the Motion Picture Ghost in the Shell. While it's led by Aoki's bass-loaded remix of Kenji Kawai's "Utai IV Reawakening," others who have contributed to the project include Boys Noize, DJ Shadow, Nils Frahm, Gary Numan, Above & Beyond, and Tricky.

Ahead of the soundtrack's release (also on March 31) via Paramount Pictures and Kobalt, they have shared Tricky's track, "Escape," in full with a music video. Skulking forth with slow and steady percussion, it perfectly captures the original film's tense, futuristic feel. Listen to it below.
