Tank!
That's really one of the best opening theme I've ever heard! Yoko Kanno is a genius
I heard the extended version too...but the best moment of the song is the final trumpet solo...
First time I heard it:
...mmm, somebody can tell me what the singer says at the beginning of the song? I can understand only "Ok 3,2,1 let's jam"

Re: Tank!
It is a good opening. The singer says "I think it's time to blow this thing,
get everybody and the stuff together" then the ok part after. At first i didn't kno what he said too but i looked it up.

[quote="Ryukon"]That solo at the end of the original version? It's actually an Alto Sax.
Yeah. Those notes are [i]really[/i] high.[/quote]
I'm not so expert to recognize an instrument from its sound...
I said trumpet because I heard other solos of this instrument and this one was similar

Re: Tank!
Yeah. Don't worry though. I thought it was a Trumpet too at first, but after listening to it a few times, I notice as it makes its fall in the music, it turns instantly to the sounds of an Alto Sax.
I actually had to have my band teacher check with me on that one, who's a Sax player. I think he said it was a very high C note...can't remember since it was about 3 years ago.
Blue like. Like blue.

Re: Tank!
No worries. I'm sure others haven't noticed it either at first (like me. lol) but it's still a great bebop jazz song.
When the Alto is making it's high solo, it very briefly makes a unique hollow, squeaky sound that only a Sax can make, but the falling of the notes is what's more noticeable.

Re: Tank!
i love this theme song
its different and its rare to hear just instrumentals for an anime opening.
being a trumpet player, i think the slight jazz in the song is awesome

Re: Tank!
I love it too, but Im not really a jazz fan.
Yoko Kanno is amazing too. She did work for Ghost in the Shell anime and it rules.
