This CD just came out this year and is another Japanese
import CD. The music here is familiar but with a twist.
It's done by a brass band. There are only five tracks on
this CD and only the first three are music. The running
time on this CD is also short, clocking in at 26:31. The
last two tracks are sound effects running around the one
minute mark each. I would guess this CD is pretty much
like a US CD Single.
Surprisingly, the actual music itself is very well done and
sounds very close to the original pieces. This was a joy
to listen to and I just wish it had been longer. Even
though it was done by the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra it
looks like Akira Ifukube had a hand in it since he is
listed as the Supervisor in the limited English in the
booklet.
If you get a chance to pick up this piece at a reasonable
price go for it. It makes a nice addition to any Godzilla
music collection.
