+Himora Kenshin Tokyo ghoul is most recent decent example. nothing quite has the cyberpunk of Oedo 808. it was written at a different time. Gibson, necromancer, snow crash, the first ps1 metal gear solid.. different times my friend.
I heard when Rory got the gig to do the whole soundtrack for this they pretty much let him do whatever he wanted for each episode, and thank God they did.... Cause without it Cyber city just wouldn't have the same impact, despite how good it is. The Japanese pop soundtrack just didn't cut it for me. This right here guys & gals... Is Rory McFarlane's magnum - opus!
The UK soundtrack is superior, but the OG intro music, when Benten runs through the space station to kill the vampire & the credits theme, especially how it's leading into the ep 3 ending, are very notable!
I watched the Video countless times as teenager until the video broke, I bought the DVD when I got my first job, I could hardly contain my excitement unwrapping the cellophane. My joy quickly turned to despair as I realised I bought the version with the rubbish Japanese pop music. I've come to terms with it now and with the support of my friends and family I've been able to let it go...Thanks for the upload, I think I'm ready to live my life again. #Itdidmakefuckalldifference
Lord OF BUTT got em but nothing to play them on any more. I found a torrent ages ago on demonoid so have the uk sound track version on a drive these days. Soulseek turned up a download of the ost in the end :-)
the most OP EPIC take on cyberpunk ever wish this world could be taken and just made into countless stories set in it. damn thing even had crazy vampires in it and buildings so big they stayed stable with a central gyro system. note how far in the future it is and how dark a setting it actually is so amazing.
Weird plot inconsistency aside, this is the greatest cyberpunk-monster movie OVA series ever. Ghosts, Frankenstein's monster, vampires...they made it work.
80s-90s were the only times when it was worth being into anime IMO. Everything today (or post 2000 it seems) is just purile, hyper-cutified nonsense with horrible helium voices and cheesy childish humour (even if its supposed to be a mature, serious anime). When I ask people about TRUE gritty, serious adult anime, they come out with stuff like "Elfen Lied". They aint got a clue. Ninja Scroll, Akira, Oedo, Berserk, GITS, FOTNS, Monster etc. These are more mature than 97% of todays "adult" anime.
I've been listening to this soundtrack since I was about 5 years old ('92/'93), I had it on cassette tape. I first watched the whole series about 5 years ago! Great soundtrack, I'd like to hear more by Rory McFarlane.
Restayvien interesting. It says he did a soundtrack for a game called Taker The Letter of the Law. Can't find anything on it though. Hm... I'm guessing it was a Japan-only game.
100% agreed, it's a little bit like with the SF2 Animated Movie. And still I can't find a proper version of OEDO 808, i.e. with good picture , UK dub AND McFarlene's brilliant work over it.
@@IntrinsicPalomides I have it too :) There are rips up here as well but it's even worse quality. I guess the only way is to grab the image from a DVD release and combine it with the audio from that tape.
Same here buddy I remember the same C4 airing ODEO 808 was next after Akira thoroughly enjoyed them both in fact remembering that airing brought me here :-)
Same here, channel 4 in the days before it became obsessed with shit reality shows and endless piss poor property programs and anything that champions the cause of anything anti white hetro male. Gods bring the days back when one could watch a guns and bullets film without social justice warrior fucktards moaning about empowerment of blah blah and so on.
awesome thanks so much for this. My best manga along with Battle Angel Alita, fist of the north star and winds of amnesia. I do miss the old style of manga they do not make them like they used to.
I hear you there man, the oldskool late 80's - 90's anime is the only real anime IMHO, and I'll see if I can find the original series to watch online. Seen a few more ones that fell through the radar a while back, which impressed me. Parasite Dolls, Twilight of the Dark Master and Psycho Diver. All of them have some great moments. I love the futuristic, cyberpunky themes. Ever since seeing Bladerunner and Akira its been one of my favourite themes along with ninja/samurai era stuff.
The UK dub of this series is on watchcartoononline dotcom. The first episode is missing the intro to the series, but that full UK version episode is on YT.
One of the few times a western remake of a soundtrack actually turned out good. have both this and the original on CD..although i speak Japanese and still watch all my anime subbed to get the full cultural nuances
@@David-vd6uf Japanese items go out of print after a 2 year print run, your best bet is to put in a request to email you if a used copy becomes available at mandarake via their online store.
Some of these remind me a lot of some tracks from the Kensei Sacred Fist OST. That was a generally crappy fighting game (well, I liked/like it) made by Konami, which had music contributed by Akira Yamaoka. It's got some good combos of distorted guitars and synths, kinda like this soundtrack. Some of ya'll might enjoy that, too.
Thank fuck for youtube... I had this on cd (special order) 20 years ago, I lost it and cant get it anymore. amazing soundtrack, back when Manga had real pride in their work
Don't foget the Guyver OVA, it's pretty much my definition of ultra violence. You're right about Elfien lied, I find it ultra bllody or ultra gorey perhaps but not ultra violent.
really wish they'd release the dvd with this soundtrack on it. the version that they have out now lacks the same impact without this music to back it up.
ncshuriken I agree 100%, NC. Really where anime started going wrong was after that UTTER F--KING GARBAGE Evangelion got popular. You can trace every single trend that's ruining Anime today; Moecrap, Cutesy puerile humor, the need to appear "DEEEEEP" over-riding the need for competent storytelling (or the need for the story to make sense at all) can be traced to that show.
I haven't seen the original oldskool Guyver, but I did catch the newer "remake" series, which I thought was alright. I watched all the eps, so it cant'a been that bad lol. It sounded like I was being a bit too harsh about todays anime, but its just the way I feel. Anime has definitely lost something VERY special IMO. I feel the same way about games, but I know a lot of people would disagree, and I cant diss them for it, I just wish some studios would still make anime the way it used to be...
Molcos Dies. 👏 I hated that guy, and rooted for Golgol every time I watched the second part. lol ‘There you are, ya f**kin’ b*stard…try this for size…*releases Glider missile battery*’. 👏
I miss the 90s so much. Music in animes used to be amazing and the animes inspired in a way modern anime simply doesn't. It's so depressing to remember dominion tank police, cyber city, guyver, wicked city, akira, devilman, sohryuden etc The GOLDEN era of animation. Everythings just shit now. Nothing has any spark of innovation. Anime is just made to appeal to women now. Normally nothing wrong with it but they're all too much like project a-ko but without the charm a-ko had. I miss the days before the internet.
Dumb comment, 90s anime was made for nonces? Sorry but Akira, cyber city, doomed megalopolis, guyver, devilman, lensman, etc have nothing to do with that. You make me wonder what skeletons are in your closet with a comment like that. That's like saying terminator was made for nonces because it has violence and a sex scene complete with titties.......Maybe you haven't seen much anime but if you have then your comment is a little odd......Tell me do you think all gamers are nonces as well? I mean it's pretty much the same thing as the things you describe. I can partially agree with modern anime but you confused shut in pedophilic manchildren with trans gender fluid non binary WOmen.
The UK version was released as an audio CD , and Rory Mc Farlane confirmed to me it is long out of print and there is no where to buy it. I wlil suggest that he puts it onto bandcamp if at all possible
+TidyBridie89 try offliberty.com , not so many around for sale. I did just message Rory McFarlane the composer via his website if there is any mp3 download.. be great if he put it on bandcamp!
No I think there is some listenable upload on Last FM. but that wasn't downloadable. Which is why I suggested offliberty or another web ripper. Like I say I will drop Rory another message see if he will upload somewhere
None of the best oldskool anime will ever come back. Nowadays its all about making things look irritatingly cute and "child friendly", even if its a violent or mature anime, so the good old serious, gritty style of 80's & 90's anime would probably alienate the new generation of anime watchers who're into todays super-cute, cringe worthy stuff that all looks the same.
This is coming from someone who wasn't even alive at the time to see this series: These days all people care about is how close the English dub is to the original anime, no matter the change, whether for the better or otherwise.

This version has finally been released on BluRay. I've been waiting for 25 years!!!
Thanks! Gonna go buy this now!
Can you play it japanese language and the UK music dub?
The UK soundtrack is way better than US and JAP
@JPod Mx absolutely. It's not even funny how much an improvement it is.
Got my copy and it was worth every dollar.
this is real Anime, what the hell happened Japan!?
Pussyassnerds happened and their waifu anime girls, so the producers thought hell yeah lets profit on these losers
it was the japanese gold era
lmfao im sure it has to do with the fact that it was kinda hard to jack off to this kinda anime.i prefer older stuff but times are a-changing
Capitalism.
The Bubble era ended, which made original OVAs economically unfeasible, and the Moe boom took off, leading to a change in popular art styles.
Probably the pinacle of Anime this, still wonderful to watch now and honestly? Nothing modern touches it.
Thank you Rory McFarlane...
If you enjoyed this series I'd recommend AD Police, Bubblegum Crisis, Venus Wars, The Guyver, Battle Angel Alita... off the top of my head
thanks for the rec's
Restayvien Dude thank you soooooooooo much for these reccomendations! I was wondering what other animes are similar to this one..
No worries man, let me know what you think of them!
+Himora Kenshin Tokyo ghoul is most recent decent example. nothing quite has the cyberpunk of Oedo 808. it was written at a different time. Gibson, necromancer, snow crash, the first ps1 metal gear solid.. different times my friend.
For a better modern equivalent i'd say Psycho Pass
so glad they including the UK soundtrack with the upcoming blu-ray release :D
15:05 Gogol - Omg yes. So pumped by this as a kind and now 25 years later.
oh fuck yeah
The music you want playing whenever you make an entrance anywhere in life!
Still rocks even after all these years. This has to be one of the greatest soundtracks of all time, on any medium!!! 💖💖💖💖

No other music makes all my troubles vanish quite like this soundtrack
17:04 my favorite part of the ost. Damn just pure eargasm. Seriously the best soundtrack ever.
This is the part I keep coming back to :)
Such an underrated gem of a soundtrack, the anime is always very underrated and such a gem too.
they showed this in the glasgow film theatre last week. it was glorious.
thanks for uploading the soundtrack.
How did it go down with the millenials.
@@adamabbas1487 to the best of my knowledge everyone loved it.

+manufacturedZ3R0 lol. Best quote ever.

Not my sort of thing from what I remember but might go back and check it out again soon.

Yeah I couldn't find anything either. If I do I'll post it here!
Restayvien alright, cool. me too!
So much better than Japanese OST imo. 50% of this anime's awesomeness for me is hidden in its soundtrack.

Awesome anime from my college days! saw it Late on channel 4 in the nineties they certainly dont make them like they used to :D

reminds me of growing up in the 90's,one of my fav soundtracks
Really appreciate the efforts and time you’ve put in here Rory. Such an epic Manga Cyber City OEDO full respect given ✊
Such an excellent soundtrack...
God, I love good music like this!
When I've entered this video, there were 666 likes. I've added mine with a hope for 808... Great series, and music is soooo good!
awesome thanks so much for this. My best manga along with Battle Angel Alita, fist of the north star and winds of amnesia. I do miss the old style of manga they do not make them like they used to.
I listen to this all the time when I draw. It's just so fluid and aesthetic. Really gets my flow going

Gogol's song makes me wanna have a fight to the death with a fucking cyborg!!
omg i was looking for this one everythere , ty bro for up :)
omg i love the song big cats, that whole scene was badass with benten. even the relaxed part of the song is so damn blissful
Those were the days.

great music and awesome anime

amazing soundtrack, back when Manga had real pride in their work

why oh why did they not make more episodes , even now it remains so cool
thannnnnnnnnnnnnnk yooooooooooooouuuuu!!!! so much

Just listen to some sick tunes.
Pls.
😍👍🏻
so this is the CD that was released featureing all soundtracks from the 3 episodes?
The UK version was released as an audio CD , and Rory Mc Farlane confirmed to me it is long out of print and there is no where to buy it. I wlil suggest that he puts it onto bandcamp if at all possible
www.discogs.com/Rory-McFarlane-CYBER-CITY-OEDO-808/release/7529379
well apparently there are 'copies' ie MP3 rips floating around .. but i've not turned that up yet! it is apparently on last.fm to listen too though
that download has dialogue over the music is that right? does the CD have just instrumentals?

Ladyboys, cybercriminals and retro-music... seems like this anime was prophetic.
None of the best oldskool anime will ever come back.
