REVIEW

March 12, 2000 This CD is the shortest timewise and that's probably not a bad thing. Track #5 is the familiar Godzilla military march but done with violins and other string instruments. The music on this CD is very familiar sounding and a lot like the others in this series. This disc could best be described as alternate versions.

Note that I may have translated this title as "The Hunchbacked Pony" in previous CDs. *2 This is a direct transliteration of the Japanese. *3 Or possibly "Ivan's Whistle".
