| REVIEW |
February 13, 2004 This CD is the second collection of the best tracks from Kinnosuke Nakamura movies. Volume 1, ABCS-1001 is also on this site. Disc 1, track 1 starts off with sound sea sound effects and then a bit of dialogue before moving into a slow, somber sounding track 2. Track 6 also is nothing more than a wind and sea sound effect. Track 7 contains hints of music familiar to Godzilla fans and is a bit faster paced than most tracks on this disc. The majority of disc 1 is slow, somber and somewhat plodding. Not a bad listen but nothing that really grabbed me either. Disc 2, starts of with what sounds like an identical wind & sea sound effect that starts disc 1. After that the music is quite a bit different from Disc 1. While some of the themes are also slow, others are more upbeat. The music also had some strange instrumentation in parts that were reminiscent of some 70's TV music. Overall I found Disc 2 to be a much better and more interesting listening experience as a stand alone CD without seeing the films associated with it. The music on this disc has more variety and I just found it overall more interesting and different from what I've heard before on similar CD's. |

Kinnosuke Nakamura Best Collection 2 Track translations from a combination of http://eplus.ebsgao.jp/p/ABCS-1014/ and Alta-Vista's Babelfish translation site http://babelfish.altavista.com/. I realize the translations aren't great but they are the best I can do for now since the booklet only lists the M numbers and not much else.
