The world of Ghost In The Shell naturally echoes with a synthesis of automated sounds, industrialized textures and cyberpunk artistry. Johnny Jewel's composition "The Hacker" begins with portentous ticking punctuated by electronic swells as it rises towards a cinematic break that's as stunning as it is scintillating. Today (March 24), the track which appears on Music Inspired By The Motion Picture Ghost In The Shell [Paramount Pictures via Kobalt Music Recordings]--due out on March 31--is now available with the album's pre-order at: https://ghostintheshell.lnk.to/album

When terrorism reaches a new level that includes the ability to hack into people's minds and control them, Major is uniquely qualified to stop it. As she prepares to face a new enemy, Major discovers that she has been lied to: her life was not saved, it was stolen. She will stop at nothing to recover her past, find out who did this to her and stop them before they do it to others. Based on the internationally acclaimed Japanese Manga, "The Ghost in the Shell." Paramount Pictures/DreamWorks Pictures/Reliance Entertainment Present Ghost in the Shell, directed by Rupert Sanders, due for release March 31, 2017.
