Ohshima composes a score worthy of the King........2003-02-11

For some fans, Akira Ifukube's distinctive march will be the only theme for Godzilla (hence its inclusion here). Too bad, for Michiru Ohshima has created a theme in her score for Godzilla vs Megaguirus that compliments the King of the Monsters quite well, for it is every bit as driving and majestic as the Big G itself. The Meganula and Megaguirus themes are also a nice piece of composing, striking just the right balance between alien and creepy. Fans of fantasy film scores in general and Godzilla scores in particular will be doing themselves a big disservice if they skip this one. Highly recommended.

Not Ifukube... thank god!!! Instead an ORIGINAL soundtrack!!.......2001-12-22

Ifukube was the father of GODZILLA music, and while he wrote some great themes, as a whole he became lazy and recycled music ad-nausium. Most of his music for the last cycle of GODZILLA movies "borrowed" music that he wrote 30 years ago!! Now we have a great Godzilla soundtrack that is thrilling and beautifully orchestrated, without the endless re use of the same tired music. MICHIRU OSHIMA has followed her own sense of style, and produced a new and exciting sound. Bold, yet subtle. Able to deftly balance the human and monster action . Lush orchestrations with a mix of both western influences and Japaneese origins. A terrific change of pace in Godzilla music, and like HATORI's music for SPACE GODZILLA and GODZILLA 2000, a wonderful and refreshing change from the IFUKUBE themes. Yeah... I know that some people can't seem to see past the idea that someone else than Ifukube could write Godzilla music. But this should (but most likely won't) quiet them. If you are a fan of film music, or a Godzilla fan, this is a terrific CD.

Rockin' Battle Theme! Others Good, Too.......2001-09-06

This is a very good album, with moments reminiscent of John Willams and John Barry scores. There are many additional unique themes (for the Griffon fighter ship, the Meganula, and the Dimension Tide weapon), but the best is the really *rockin'* battle theme on tracks 18-21. The latest Godzilla theme (see "Fateful Confrontation") is good piece of music, but not entirely G-like. It starts off ominous and majestic, but suddenly adds a military flavor -- a good theme for a gladiator movie, but for Godzilla?. The Ifukube purists get two extra tracks, with the "Godzilla rising from the sea" trumpets but not the traditional Godzilla theme. There are also 6 short sound effects. All in all, I liked this album better than the Godzilla 2000 Millennium score and look forward to other scores by Michiru Ohshima.
