There's been a lot of hype surrounding Toronto-born, Berlin-based producer Bwana's upcoming Capsule's Pride EP on LuckyMe Records. The nine-track album is a rework of the 1988 Japanese anime Akira's soundtrack, which features clips and sound elements of the film blended in.

The Katsuhiro Otomo-directed film traverses varieties of techno and ambient electronic, all while immersing listeners in the strange, surreal, and often violent world of Akira's neon-lit streets.

The EP will be available on March 25, but you can stream the whole album right now via NPR.
