Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla (2002) – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by Michiru Oshima 2xLP Vinyl Record (Eco Coloured Vinyl)

Terror in Tokyo! Godzilla is back and is determined to cause as much damage as possible in Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla. After the “Big G” delivers a crippling blow to the JXSDF (Japanese Xenomorph Self-Defence Force), the government decides to build a new weapon to defeat Godzilla. Their solution: Kiryu, aka Mechagodzilla, a metal monster packed with all the firepower needed to put Godzilla down. But things go awry when Kiryu malfunctions and turns on the JXSDF, thanks to its use of the original Godzilla’s DNA. Can they get back control and put an end to the “Big G”?

Selected to score Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla was Michiru Ōshima (Godzilla vs Megaguirus, Star Wars: Visions), who brought an exciting and heroic musical aesthetic to the film. Employing the Moscow Symphony Orchestra, Ōshima’s music sounds as enormous and powerful as the kaiju themselves, with a new menacing theme for Godzilla that uses the lower registers to bring across the monster’s immense force. In contrast, Ōshima’s theme for Kiryu uses high brass for an almost superheroic feel, with both themes working beautifully in counterpoint to each other when the two titans have their rumble.

As scary as it is thrilling, Michiru Ōshima’s Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla is one of the most significant scores to emerge from the hallowed halls of Toho.
