Gunslinger Girl Three: A New OP

While I enjoyed Kokia's theme for Il Teatrino - it's an enjoyable song on its own merits - one of the reasons why the Madhouse GSG anime was so memorable was because of its uniquely atypical OP; selecting a barely-heard Scottish indie band definitely couldn't be said to be a lucrative sponsorship deal! It allowed the music to be more consciously selected to fulfil the show's character in a meaningful way, rather than be imposed as a necessity to promote the latest L'Arc En Ciel album.

Let's say that you're the musical director for the third season of GSG, and you've been granted carte blanche by the producers to introduce whatever sound you think is appropriate. What music would you select for the OP? An opening sequence tends to be visually polished which is one source of appeal, but combined with the music it must describe the show, encapsulate its spirit, inform the viewers what to expect, set the atmosphere and tone and fix it in their minds.

Muse - "Undisclosed Desires"

I've not been a great fan of Muse in the past, but their latest album, The Resistance, bowled me over. It might not be Desert Island Disc material, but it's most certainly rocketed up to a high place in my list of favourites. One song in particular though stands out as especially fitting for GSG:
