This is kind of a weird question but I was looking at the cover of "Macross Plus Volume 1" and I was wondering if it was inspired by Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon". They look similar in design and I doubt that it's just a coincidence. Does anyone know anything about this or of other references from Kanno's work to western musicians (I already know about Lunatic Calm etc.)?

Well, I remember one track on the Bebop soundtrack (I think it played during the episode about the mentally retarded French assassin) was pretty much a direct rip of the second track off of Dark Side of the Moon, but without all the cool sound effects.

Yeah, it played with the flashbacks scenes of those experiments when Ed unlocked the data about the program/group that "created" him.

Oh wow... would you believe that I've listened to both of those pieces of music at least 100 times and never made the connection? I'm officially an idiot. Anime smallmouth + sweatdrop
I've said this before, but the song "Where Does This Ocean Go?" from the GITS:SAC OST sounds suspiciously similar to a song by Björk titled "Hyperballad."
And this doesn't really have to do with Kanno, but I'm convinced that a track from the first Hellsing OST was ripped from the theme to The Omen.
