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.
