Rest in Peace, Akira Ifukube
(1914-2006) |
Ifukube’s
timeless orchestral score evokes all the terror and majesty
of that towering creature cherished around the world. Newly
remastered with bonus tracks (cues edited as they
appeared in the film), the CD includes a knockout collectors’ booklet
featuring exclusive artwork and in-depth liner notes.
Unlike tracks on previous Japanese versions, this release
does not have dialogue or the baby
cry mixed in with the score.
