Somebody here can school me roundly on the righteousness of the Bloodsport score...I know the OG of that one is very scarce these days, I've only seen film once so no recollection.Yeah, Bloodsport is a heavy hitter.
Carrie will likely be from the expanded 2xCD Kritzerland set so that's pretty hype.
*EDIT* Llstening to Bloodsport full OST on YT now - about 8 seconds into the first score cue I AM IN.

But after a quick second thought I am passing. Or not. I don’t know. It is a crazy set. And why do I want it? At the moment probably only because it is a crazy set.

I'm familiar with the crusty Ifikube-era older stuff which doesn't do anything for me really (I have no nostalgi-deels for GZ I'm afraid, and it just sounds like very crusty, over-emphatic old-school monster music as standalone listen) What I'm asking basically is - as the decades go by, does the GZ-sound-i-verse get funky? Like the Mach Baron stuff from the 70s type funky??At the end of the day they are giant monster film soundtracks that all attempt to reference the original "crusty Ifukube-era" since Ifukube wrote many of these film scores and his main theme is reused throughout most of the films in varying styles. There are no light-year jumps to full-on jazzfunk OST like anime or other tokusatsu 70's television shows of the time. I would not blind buy this box set unless you are a Godzilla fan or generally enjoy 60's/70's era Japanese kaiju movie soundtracks. There are two standout OST by Riichiro Manabe to check out that have already been made available as bootlegs that dig a bit more into the 70's fuzz/psych bag on some tracks, but do not influence the entire score: Godzilla vs. The Smog Monster and Godzilla vs. Megalon. There are also some much less expensive compilation albums available secondhand from Japan that could be found scattered around the world that have tracks pulled from various Toho Godzilla and other scifi/kaiju films that will be likely far less expensive to acquire than this new Waxwork box set.
