Yeah, using music from other series is fine. The good thing about 2040 is that the two OSTs are full of good game music, but I have no problem including music from other series as well.

For 2040 I think I've got the main ones: OSTs 1 & 2, Collector's File, and As Sekira. Was there anything else?

I liked the music from Parasite Dolls but I honestly don't remember the music from BGC! If you want to pick out some tracks from your collection which you think would make good game music and send me lo-fi copies to sample that would be great

BTW, I'm thinking that "Bukkirabou na Ai ni Oboretai" (which translates something like "I want to drown in your blunt love") would go great for the staff roll. I like the 2040 intro a lot so I'd like to use "Y'know" for a simple intro animation. Another vocal piece could be used for the title screen, but I don't have any good ideas right now. Yeah, I know, those are some of the least important parts of a game, especially the credits, but they are also the easiest to design

It's better to use vocal pieces for those kinds of non-interactive sequences because in-game music generally works better if it is non-vocal. Fortunately, OSTs 1 & 2 are full of appropriate music, although a lot of the songs overlap somewhat. For example, Rebel Asia contains the music from Ghetto and Monster's Walk II, I think. I really need to go through the OSTs and catalog all that stuff.

I also liked the opening/closing music from ADPolice TV and Parasite Dolls, but it might be hard to work them into the game since they're vocal pieces. Same thing goes for a lot of the '33 music; I don't know what soundtracks were released for the original OVA (would that be OOVA?) but if there are any that are like the '40 OSTs then they could be used as well.

The music is definitely my favorite part to talk about

There are instrumentals to Y'know and Waiting For You coming from the singles. I also think there was an instrumental to Bukkirabouna Ai ni Oboretai from one of the singles too. Basically the opening and closing themes to Parasite Dolls and 2040 have instrumental versions on their singles.
