REVIEW

Here's a compilation of all the greatest marches from the Godzilla movies (1954-1975). From the first track to the last the music on this CD will sound familiar. Some of the music gets a bit repetitious but on a disc with a running time of 75:07 I can live with it. Also since this is a packed disc the 30 tracks here usually aren't just short under one minute cues.

I enjoyed listening to this CD. This CD is a winner and worth a listen if you can find it.
