- A pioneer in their fashion of animation, the two recent Appleseed CGI movies also quietly began (or were at least at the forefront of) a trend in Japanese anime that saw the significant participation of Western musical composers in the creation of a soundtrack. Key players in the first episode included Japan's Boom Boom Satellites, the UK's Paul Oakenfold and Basement Jaxx, as well as lesser known artists like Canada's Akufen, and the United State's Atomâ„¢ as well as Adult, with an exclusive remix for the film by DJ Carl Craig. The sequel featured a large cast of composers as well, but apparently due to scheduling and production conflicts, the talent this time around was almost purely Japanese, featuring Hasymo, Wagdog Futuristic Unity, Technoboys, Haruomi Hosono, Aoki Takamasa, and even a single by Russian-Japanese fashion model Lina Ohta.
