REVIEW

March 11, 2000

Unlike Volume 2 which I didn't care for, this CD is more like Volume 1 and was enjoyable. This CD has a good mix of both music and sound effects with not a lot of what I consider kiddy music. We do have several versions of the well known "Gamera" song sung by children but we also have two other very different sounding versions near the end of the disc. Track #36 is sung by a female with a Polka type beat to the music. Track #38 is a fast, toe tapper of a version of the Gamera song with a children's chorus singing.

Tracks #6 - #11 and #19 - #34 appear to be made up of several alternate takes at some sound effects. You can hear someone in the background giving instructions.
