On this August Record Club occasion, you may nominate up to two albums by artists whose music has been featured in an anime or in a video game. It doesn't have to include the particular music featured, though that would be more interesting, just something by the same artist. Name the anime/game origin along with your nomination.
Disallowed exceptions: Yoko Kanno's Cowboy Bebop original soundtrack (other Yoko Kanno music is allowed), though I do encourage you to listen if you haven't heard it
all Michael Jackson music used in "Moonwalker" nominations based solely on pop music rhythm games like Guitar Hero, etc.

Not a weeb, but I had an easy time here: Boa - The Race of a Thousand Camels (1998), as heard in Serial Experiments Lain (and its famous opening credits). |

Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas (1990) Theme relation? Redacted. Music supervisors love CT and Heaven sounds like J-pop to me anyway so I figured the band must have featured in an anime or video game but I can't find an example. |

The Pillows - Happy Bivuac ( link) Japanese rock band. Multiple songs from this album are featured in the anime FLCL. I wanted to include the album with that banger of an end credits song, but turns out that's only on a greatest hits compilation. I wanted to nominate a studio album.
Mastodon - Crack the Skye ( link) The songs "Oblivion" and "Crack the Skye" from one of the prog-metal sludgers' best loved albums appear in the 2009 video game Brütal Legend. (And if any other metal fans are coming up short on nominations, this game's a treasure trove. Enslaved. Strapping Young Lad. Dethklok.)

Thanks, Bro, for the Brutal Legend link. That was helpful. With that, I nominate Ministry - The Land of Rape and Honey (1988). (Yeah, I don't love nominating that provocative title but it's the one with "Stigmata" from the game and, for me, it was all downhill for Jourgensen after that one.) |

Do As Infinity, "Deep Forest"
The lead track was used in credits to Inuyasha 20 years ago. Mix of traditional Japanese instruments and modern sounds.

Ah hell, why not nominate an honest-to-god video game soundtrack? Magnus "Souleye" Palsson - PPPPPP (2010) is the OST from the indie game classic VVVVVV. Almost entirely recommendable just for its hilarious album art: :format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(40)/discogs-images/R-2753517-1299918209.jpeg.jpg) |
