Comments
For many North American fans, this compilation from GNP Crescendo offered an early listen to the later day Heisei films that had yet to be released back in early 1998. As the title of the CD implies, this set covers the Godzilla films from The Return of Godzilla (1984) through Godzilla vs. Destoroyah (1995), with a bulk of the music being creditably to the great Akira Ifukube. In terms of the music selection process, GNP did a fairly good job. I'm sure there is not a one who wouldn't make a suggestion for either some theme that needed to be include, Rodan's theme comes to mind for me, or something that probably shouldn't have found its way onto this mix, but it's impossible to please everyone and this disc does a good job of covering a lot of the basics of these seven films. The tracks themselves appear to have come from the materials used to make the respective two disc sets for the 1990's films, with key indications being the Godzilla roar that was added into the Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla (1994) main title and the use of "Mothra's Song," a bonus on the two disc set that is a more pop oriented rendering not unlike what was found in the Rebirth of Mothra series. This also explains the curious "Moguera vs. SpaceGodzilla #2" track title when there is no #1 present. The disc rounds itself out with a remix of Ifukube's "Monster Zero March" theme done by Neil Norman.
