But back to the official soundtrack, Plaid's members were asked from Japan to write the music for upcoming Michael Arias' film. Only indications they've received were that 'the music initially had to have an analog, old world feeling', to gradually evolve into a more futuristic tone. Final effect is a collection of carefully crafted, extremely intelligent tracks that with every second reveals a new chapters of the story of their own - every time a different one and every time a complete one. Songs combine elements of jazz, electronic, ambient and sounds that are beyond any dimension of measurable classification. It is a pleasurably warm album, accompanied with diverse of instruments, all driving forward the cinematic perception of a fantastic world existing somewhere far away from here. Even hundreds of thousands of words are unable to describe the complex beauty of this audiosonical multi-dimensional space designed by Plaid. Year after, in 2007, collection of remixes from many respected artists, including Perfuse 73, Mathew Jonson, Vex'd came out as a tribute for the masterpiece of the authors. Director of Tekkonkinkreet satisfied with the final effect, decided to continue work with artists for his second movie, Heaven's Door, as well as two of his subsequent short films. Exciting fact is that, unlike to other albums of Plaid, this soundtrack was never re-pressed and limited availability of CDs released by japaneese label Aniplex makes it very attractive for collectors right now.
