Album Review: Black Cab - Akira

After recently trying their hand at live soundtracking Akira at The Astor Theatre, Black Cab return to Neo-Tokyo, which serves as the inspiration for this album.

Comprised of 25 tracks, Akira offers cyberpunk escape into futuristic fictions and dystopian unrealities with a soundtrack of darkly glittering electronica that reflects the influence of kosmische. Groomed for imaginary soundtrack perfection, Akira is at once evocative while also filled with darkly dramatic motifs that are woven into the album's fabric. The perfect soundtrack accompaniment for those moments when you are engaged in mortal combat with tentacled monsters and artificially intelligent robots.
