As in the previous CD in this series from Toshiba, the music tracks come from different composers who participated in the Heisei movies alongside main Godzilla series composer Akira Ifukube. In terms of the music present, there is a nice selection of themes, though it might have benefitted from a few of these tracks being replaced by more important cues. However, at least the songs sound fine and close enough to match the themes as they were used in the films, although (and perhaps it is just me) one of the tracks, “Moguera Ready to Go II", is missing a part of it. Alongside the CD, the case comes with a small booklet. After the introductions, the main body of the booklet is a commentary of the songs used in the CD with a column about the usage of music in relation to the Godzilla series following close behind. Finally, the booklet ends with a small section that consists of an interview with Ifukube. Unfortunately, the language is mainly in Japanese. While the arrangement is mostly in order of release, three tracks, two that precede the others and another that plays at the end, are situated out of chronological order. Two years later, GNP would use a good portion of these tracks when they released The Best of Godzilla 1984-1995 (GNPD-8056). As for getting this particular CD, well it’s been a long while and it would be difficult to find, so one might be better off with another compilation.
