REVIEW

This last film in the original Godzilla series brings back Akira Ifukube one more time. The "Main Title" starts off with a reworking of several very familiar pieces of music and you instantly know this is a Godzilla score. Again there is very little really new stuff here but there is a smattering of newer music here and there. This CD has a nice mix of the familiar along with some soft, cathedral sounding pieces. All in all a worthwhile finale to the first round of Godzilla films.
