In my head canon, this is sung by Anna & Uni Puma in a dim and moody nightclub, and anything you hear to the contrary is misinformation.

Thank you! I've been searching for a good quality version of this for years. Now I just need a clean version of the Dark Chii/Kamui theme from Chobits/X. The version from X is great and all - especially the timing of the speech, but a clean instrumental version like in Chobits is definitely the one to find.

This is probably the first time that the American soundtrack is better than the original Japanese one.

Still an amazing song

this is special

Such a great song and so nostalgic.

The first anime I saw was Dominion and Gunnm when I was 8. I'm still listening to this music 20 years later x)

I'm going to request this song at my funeral

Hi everyone reading this and listening to this potential ‘greatest song in the world ever’. Hehe. It’s so good! But it makes me really sad deep down. I’m nearing 40 now. I first heard this/watched Tank Police on DVD and still have it somewhere. I always wanted to make games and from ages 7-16 I made freeware PC games. My dad had a good job so we had a nice house, nice computers. My parents bought a plot of land just shy of an acre. We moved into my grandparents tiny house whilst ours was built. I got to spend random nights sleeping in the skeletal house with my pops for fun (“are we going to the big house tonight dad?” I’d ask aged 6, 7.) watching Home Improvement, Red Dwarf, Have I got News For You. I spent that time out at the big house with just a sketchbook and pencils designing out/drawing games that I wanted to play. My dad encouraged me by buying Klik n Play on the PC and AMOS on the Amiga. My neighbour (coincidentally) at the time were the parent of the guy who made Darksiders (the game, if there’s anything else with that name I dunno about it :) ). I finished school aged 16 not knowing where to go next or what to do. I couldn’t make money off my games. I had no college or work lined up. My dad pushed me into, weeks after courses had begun, a random college in the neighbouring county. I rolled up late with just my portfolio to hand and the tutors snatched me up with an unconditional offer. I knew nobody there. A month earlier during the summer I had a dream I ran around a fountain beside a giant building chasing and being chased by a woman with, I won’t go into detail there but a bunch of identifying features! Mega strangely enough the woman I dreamt about was on this course. We both kept glancing at one another over and over. A charge built up atop love at first sight. 2 months later we were dating. Everyone on the course knew we’d date we just had that magnetism thing going on. Our friend Allen gave us a DVD from some Playstation 2 magazine because my gf was big into anime (I just liked everything pretty much lol). It had Tank Police on it - we only watched it once but it was unforgettable! That was 22 years ago. We’ve been together ever since with a relationship full of cool things like our first kiss being barefoot in a spring-time meadow at sunset, neither of us had any other partners before (or during lol). Depression hit me pretty hard though. The magic that was my younger years… I had a hiccup making a game, getting stuck on it and wasn’t able to finish it and feel I lost the magic. I only live now because of the grace of my family - and my partners parents are also very helpful, understanding, and her dads a legit morris dancer. I honestly don’t know how to fix myself. It crushes me. My dads not doing too well (had cancer at one point) and recently said he thought I’d go further than this (ME TOO. I want to get back on Bruce Waynes horse or bike or whatever it was). I wish I could just finish a project, or for one of my non-game things to work. I still live in that house we built, same bedroom. One sibling moved out and I’m a really neat uncle at least. Life is just so strange, in a good and bad way, to me. One thing though is I did get a game published which was a lifelong dream, and with that I got to visit E3, EGX, Gamescom and meet my actual heroes (I was shaking a guys hand in LA being introduced by my publisher. His name was massive from my childhood but I never knew his face! And I’m shaking the guys hand when I hear his name to which I actually did a little shout and shock! I even got to meet another heroes mistress! Yes! People actually do stuff like that it’s not just in films and TV!) And then this song just punches so devastatingly. As Max Payne would say, or any of the school essays I wrote where myself and my best buddy Tom would rewrite chunks of Max Payne as we were so enamoured by it aged 15.

I'll be honest, I'm a grown man but this song still has the ability to reduce me to tears. The mix of the track plus the nostalgia for my childhood, it just gets to me sometimes.

90s were the best. I'm sad we couldn't stay, but thank you, 90s, you will be missed😢

Its been so long and so much time has passed.

The good old days of summer and Sci-Fis July anime fest. The only exposure to anime back in the day. One of my first anime’s but Akira was my first anime. Still come back to this.

CD買った当時ゲーム機3DOで再生してよく聴いてたな～

I remember discovering this anime on the space station in Canada late one night. Blew my mind. This song brings back crazy nostalgia

How it can be exist..? My dream is there... someone play this tune in public amber scene...

クロちゃんから来ました😅‪‪

This deserves to be remade into a fully fleshed-out song.

Leona and Bonaparte.... A love story....

Leona and Al

Back to the 90's. VHS era was awesome.

It's weird when the English dub and the rewritten songs are better then the original Japanese version

This song has always been in the back of my head ever since watching Dominion Tank Police back when the Sci-Fi Channel had Saturday Anime. It's such a haunting theme. I never knew that this was only on the U.S. release and not on the Japanese release.

👏👏

Nostalgia

I was humming this song earlier!

My first anime ever never forget it and the music

Wow from my childhood anime. Life is such a beautiful thing. I thank God for such experiences.

하아.. 그립다.... 투니버스 황금기 시절 명작 애니에 명곡들.... 옛날 추억이....

Such nostalgia !!

3:40 sounds like Kogane no chi from KOEI. Does anyone know what Uncharted Waters track this is arranged from?

Monumentally nostalgic credits theme.

I first saw this anime back when they were hard to find, on vhs rental vids, as well as the sci fi channel back when was fucking good! the 80s and 90s was the best time to grow up in, not like now, i cry all the time i listen to this because i know that the anime of today although has fantastic animation, lacks the emotional connection that the old animes had, in other words, old anime had plots, story, personality, even epic moments that would last well beyond their lifetime.....new anime is just boobs, and blank personalities. that's it! so long 1980s and 1990s anime, you filled my young mind with so much......RIP.

와..로봇애니 엔딩곡 수준이 아니네;; 원곡 느낌이 더 쩌네!

This is the first anime I ever watched! It's also the only anime I actually prefer dubbed in english. Quite a statement from an anime purist like me. Same for the original vampire hunter D.

Brings me back to the early 1990's and the VHS section at Suncoast Video. Dominion Tank Police was probably the first anime, and possible the first VHS / Movie that I bought with my own money. The scantily clad ladies on the front might have had something to do with it. What love I do have for anime likely started with that tape.

If you like the background music look up the works of Yoichiro Yoshikawa. He has still been composing music up to recently and makes pretty amazing stuff.

Classic anime i view in the 90 in my home with my sisters in the VHS format in these years from the mangaka Masamune Shirow

Nostalgia

Really love this song awesome anime theme back when sci fi channel was sci fi channel good memories play all day thank you pure anime music

Channel 4....channel 4

This was one of the first anime I ever watched when a friend lent me a vhs tape with thus and fist of the north star, and as soon as I heard this music, its stuck with me for the next 30 years afterwards!!

Every once and a while I come back to this song and listen to it on KZbin. The anime alone on a random Saturday night on sci-fi channel was enough to draw me in to anime ovas ( which back then was pre-Toonami so that was all that we had) which lead me to the fandom I had for the genre itself. I’ve gotten older and have gotten over it over the years. But every so once in a while I listen to just this song. I’ll play it randomly for days on headphones or in private. But every time, just this song, nostalgia doesn’t even begin to cover the emotion and literal physical reaction I feel when I listen to it. I don’t think I have ever felt this way to any form of media as I feel to tank police or this song in general. It has just become apart of me, and I hope that I never lose this feeling. Days like these, this is one of the very few things I attach to, and become genuinely happy just from hearing the song. I just wish one day I won’t have to rely on it.

Suncoast had some gems in their collection my go to for anime

Childhood from the sci-fi channel 😎

Masamune Shirow used to make beautiful art like this. I love his hand painted stuff.

WHAT MUSIC TYPE THIS IS! I mean that I has Electronic sound, 80's flare and also that BEAUTIFUL Flute. SIMPLY, I LOVE IT! I am planing my own ComicBook series and If I Ever get chance to make Anime of it, I want soundtrack to be music like this!

You can find all three songs Brown Eyes did for the U.S. release here: strangescans.blogspot.com/2011/11/release-095-dominion-tank-police-ost.html

Manga and anime always have great soundtracks nut you can't buy them at HMV

サビはつい力が入って唄ってしまう ひとりきりで泣かないで 雨の日も星のない夜も ってところ 溜めてた想いが押さえきれない
