Comments
Columbia's release of the soundtrack for the 1980 Taku Sugiyama and Osamu Tezuka animated feature. Like other discs from the company, this soundtrack is attractively priced, at least in terms of Japanese albums, at under $15. Unfortunately, Yasuo Higuchi's score for the feature isn't the most riveting and doesn't translate incredibly well as a stand-alone experience. It's not horrible by any stretch, of course, as there are some pleasant pieces here utilizing violins; however, there isn't any real memorable cue from the film, save perhaps "Destruction" (track 12), or much to prompt one to place the disc in their player after the initial listen. Still fans of the anime feature will likely enjoy this regardless, and Columbia's price point makes this title easy to get on an impulse for those familiar with the movie.
