| A high point
of Masaru
Sato's long career, the soundtrack for the 20th anniversary
film of the Godzilla series is a real treat to be sure.
Sato definitely shows his range as a composer with this
score too, creating both soothing themes like the "Sea
Coral" while also crafting more energetic music like
"Mechagodzilla Appears." His cue for "Godzilla
vs. Anguirus" is also one of the more memorable,
and enjoyable, from the series as Sato gives the soundtrack
a very "big band" style. There is, however,
a bit of repetition in the general themes, but the music
is a strong enough stand alone experience that it never
outstays its welcome. Oddly enough, this soundtrack also
has two stock cues from previous films. One of themes
is the riveting "Godzilla vs. Kumonga" cue from
Son
of Godzilla (1967), which doubles up here as
the "King Caesar vs. Mechagodzilla" theme with
impressive results. The other is a piece from the 1965
Judo
Saga that is used during the skirmish inside
Miyajima's residence. Unfortunately, this cue is incredibly
repetitious and it's easy for the listener to long lose
interest before the track finishes, making it an odd choice
for why this theme was picked from the huge backlog of
work by Sato. The disc rounds out its runtime with three
extra tracks that total a little under ten minutes. The
first is the Okinawa Song heard during the opening scene
of the movie before the vision sequence, which isn't a
bad theme although it tends to be far too long. Next is
the original record single of "Miyarabi's Prayer"
done by Beru-Bera Lin, while the final track is another
from the singer called "Defeat Mechagodzilla."
