Comments
The fourth disc in the set focuses primarily on the first two Mechagodzilla films. Overall, the pairing of the two features works very well, not too surprisingly. Masaru Sato's score for the 1974 production is of course an excellent stand alone experience, as the long time composer gives such memorable cues as the "Sea Coral" and "Godzilla vs. Anguirus". The score is definitely one of the better of Sato's career and also one of the more enjoyable soundtracks from the long running Godzilla series. The selection here, though, sadly lacks the three extra tracks found on Toshiba's 1993 release. Fortunately, Beru-Bera Lin's two songs are readily available on other compilations, like the Godzilla Song Book, so it isn't too much of a loss. The other soundtrack found on this disc is for Akira Ifukube's score for Terror Mechagodzilla. Ifukube's soundtrack for the 1975 feature is far from a highlight in the composer's long career, but his score is very enjoyable none the same. The standout selection from this score is easily his "Mechagodzilla 2" theme, which is quite easily one of the best themes from any Toho score. Thankfully, the selection here is identical to that of Toshiba's release of the soundtrack, so nothing is lost. Finally, the disc rounds out its runtime with a record single of "All You Need is Love" by Kiyohiko Ozaki for the ESPY movie.
