Akira Ifukube--Master Works: Symphonic Fantasia No. 2 (Part 1)

[MrJoshy77]

Rest in Peace Ifukube, you were a musical god.

[TOHOFIEND54]

Isn't the first one usually adapted into the generic exotic island theme in godzilla movies

[Pugglekisses]

I love this piece, VERY dramatic.

[yosillion]

Excellent! A Great composition of Ifukube with a Stravinsky´s touch.

[Briestro]

Beautiful stuff, he's easily among my favorite composers ever.

[supah1337B]

ghidora!'s coming! :D im such a godzilla fan!

[chopperpilot5]

I think Akira is the best music composer ever, he has soo many different styles, Jerry goldsmith, john Williams, james Horner, john barry, james newton howard, bow before the king AKIRA IFUKUBE!

[Godzilla1282]

@chopperpilot5 over in the eastern culture hes considered theeir Mozart. Bach, and Beethovan put together. He's generally considered yes to be the greatest composer of all time

[MsGeogeog]

Did you happen to know a funny "J" pattern going on in your list of composers? :)

[chopperpilot5]

@MsGeogeog yea i did I'M NOT ALONE YES! i always have, but though i was just crazy.

[Zlagie]

@chopperpilot5 But hermann gets a seat next to the kings throne.

[chopperpilot5]

@Zlagie oh yes indeed, his score fro jason and the argonauts was amazing

[GodzillaXAbudAwwal]

@chopperpilot5 he did Jason and the Argonauts?

[chopperpilot5]

@GodzillaXAbudAwwal yes. it's amazing

[Fragile0Still]

Where does one find copies of Fantasia 2 and 3? I recently ordered a masterwork cd with Fantasia 1 but the others sound just as wonderful.

[GojiGuru]

Look for: "The Artistry of Akira Ifukube 4" (KICC 178) or "A Tribute to Godzilla: Akira Ifukube Symphonic Fantasia Complete" (KICS 775)

[PeppeRaskell1]

"Adventure at Kiganjoh?" Is that a kaiju movie, or a piece from a kaiju movie? It sounds kind of familiar...

[GojiGuru]

It's not kaiju, as far as I know. It's about a monk and a swordsman that travel together and find a conspiracy to overthrown a king from his castle. That said, it seems like the odd ball among all the other sci-fi titles. Oh well.

[whythewar1]

@GojiGuru OH, MY, GOD, ITS GOODDZZIRRRAAAAAAA!

[DRMAFUNE]
