REVIEW

March 11, 2000

This CD actually has music to all three Majin movies. Tracks # 1-12 are from Daimajin, Tracks # 13-20 are from Daimajin ikaru (1966)(Return of the Giant Majin) and Tracks 21-31 are from The Daimajin gyakushu (1968) (Majin Strikes Again (1968).

As with most music done by Akira Ifukube, this is a good sounding CD that's a joy to listen to. While it is different from the Godzilla scores, it retains enough of that style to be interesting. Like most of these CD's, this one is out of print so if you are lucky enough to find one, grab it.
