It's fairly rare to see rearrangements done of this scale, especially for a Western release. For this CD, composer Randy Miller conducts new recordings of 22 cues from the various Godzilla films of the Showa and Heisei series. Most of these recordings are dedicated to the music by maestro Akira Ifukube, but Miller also slips in work from a number of other composers who have established themselves on the series, including Reijiro Koroku and Takayuki Hattori. Those looking for an experience to rival, or at least be on par, with the original themes will of course be disappointed though. Miller does well with what he is given, but his orchestrations still fall short of the original source material. Still, those interested in hearing a slightly different take on these classic themes should be well advised to search this release out as it's a nice disc overall, especially considering that it can still be found relatively cheap regardless of the fact that it's now long out of print.
