REVIEW

December 28, 2010 - Updated February 06, 2011

This is another 2 disc set in the continuing reissues of older Futureland titles under the TOHO Music Corporation label. This new two disc set nicely replaces the now out of print, Futureland CD's. I can't hear any significant differences in these new discs over the older Futureland discs.. Maybe my hearing isn't as great as it was in my youth but I am far from deaf. So maybe someone with super hearing can point out some minor differences. All I can say is that both discs sound terrific. That being said, the plus side is that if you don't own the Futureland out of print CD's and don't want to pay a hefty price trying to get them, then here you get two great discs at a lower price. The minus side is that these discs no longer have the bonus sound effects tracks of the originals and the new CD is missing the audio trailers too. So unless you don't have the originals or are a completist that needs everything (no matter how many times the same stuff is reissued) then there is no good reason to spend the money. IF however you don't have the originals, then grab this set before it too goes out of print. This set does come with a nice 23 page booklet (written in Japanese)containing several photos and recording information. The labels on the CD's themselves are similar in style and color as the Godzilla Box Sets.

The reviews of the Futureland originals on this site are at: Rodan and at: Yog, The Monster From Outer Space.
