Kaneda

Mike wrote, "In Akira's opening sequence, the protagonists battle a rival biker gang while racing through the city, injuring civilians and causing chaos and destruction along the way.

Before mounting his bike, Kaneda, the movie's hero of sorts, selects a CD in the jukebox of the bar he's been waiting in.

Triggering the first entry point of Genoyama Shiro Gumi's music.

The track, also called Kaneda, is a blistering polyrhythmic workout juxtaposing the Balinese jegog, a tuned percussion instrument constructed from a number of bamboo trunks with reverberating drum machine claps and snares.

As the gangs finally clash, the next track begins, titled Battle Against Clown.

It is yet another rolling polyrhythmic beast, but this time including urgent and intense aspirated vocals reminiscent of Goblin's nagging, discomforting theme from Suspiria.
