For several decades, a self-proclaimed 'secret society' known only as Bukimisha have been enthralling audiences throughout their native Japan with amazing 'a Capella' vocal stylings. This group of over twenty singers have turned their love of fantasy and sci-fi music into a unique art form, all the while building an impressive catalog of over 100 albums. Many feature Ifukube's vast library of movie themes, classical compositions and, to date. Over 17 complete film scores. Bukimisha was even given the great honor of performing before the legendary composer at one of his last birthday celebrations before his passing in 2006. This first in a series of exclusive BSX releases contains the complete 1954 score to the original GODZILLA, as well as previously unheard material that had never appeared on the original soundtracks. Only a small portion of the InchEiko-maru Ship MusicInch was actually recorded for an on-screen performance and is presented here in it's entirety. However, another cue went completely unrecorded, possibly because the scene it was composed for was never filmed. Titled InchCemetery,Inch this sequence was meant to follow just after the typhoon hits Odo Island. Godzilla's iconic roar, footsteps and the Oxygen Destroyer musical effects have also been included. Released just two years later, RODAN was Toho's first giant monster movie made in color. A fascinating counterpoint to the nuclear nightmare of GODZILLA, Ifukube offered darker musical motifs to represent a claustrophobic coal mine filled with unseen horror. The score later turns to the composer's most memorable military marches when the monster takes to the sky. An alternate 'film' version of the main title, featuring Rodan's roar, has exclusively been created for this .
