REVIEW |
May 30, 2006 This CD contains vocal tracks of music composed by Masaru Satoh that appeared in movies from !956 through 1979. The final five tracks are other songs by Mr. Satoh including one from his 2004 CD MASARU SATO-Sound Theater~A Single Pencil (AGCS-5001/2). I will not critique each track. Suffice it to say there is a wide variety of male and female vocals here presenting many different styles. I think most of us are familiar with his orchestral soundtrack music to various Godzilla, Akira Kurosawa films and many other films. I doubt too many of us are familiar with more than a few of the vocal tracks on this CD. I enjoyed the CD but it took a little getting used to. So often all we hear from composers like Mararu Satoh and Akira Ifukube are their instrumental output. This CD isn't for everyone and will probably never be one of my favorites by Mr. Satoh. However, it was enjoyable and something different. |
