Ark Soundtrack Square is happy to announce an upcoming release from CINEMA-KA label. Available on June 19th.
Pre-orders are now being accepted!
* BATTLE IN OUTER SPACE by Ifukube, Akira
The great battle that unfolds on the dark side of the moon! A must-have disc for the whole universe!
Although one of the most popular among special effects fans/movie music fans, this film, which has not been available in general stores for a long time, has been re-released for the 70th anniversary of its release!
The film, which is a sister volume of "The Mysterians", the first Toho special effects film in color by Honda Ishiro and Tsuburaya Eiji, has evolved even further, and Akira Ifukube's heroic music enlivens it even more, brought back to life by the latest remastering by engineers who have worked on Toho special effects soundtracks for many years.
In addition to the sound sources used in the film, including M32, aka "BATTLE IN OUTER SPACE March," which was used in "Shin Godzilla" in 2016, the bonus tracks include all the other takes, making this the definitive Natal release.

Now this one didn't surprise me, though I didn't expect it so soon. Another grab for me.
Words of wisdom.

Now I'm seriously glad not to have picked up the Toho Music set. It's clearly (and thankfully) out-of-print since Cinema-kan is now giving this and "Earth Defense Force" ("The Mysterians") the treatment they deserve.
I'm also no longer seeing Toho Music's Rodan/Space Amoeba set on Toho's webstore, so it may be out-of-print too. If so, expect those to get the Cinema-kan treatment in the near future.
Great news. Hopefully, Atragon and Latitude Zero will follow.

I don't mean to derail the thread, but did Ifukube ever write anything lyrical and calm, for a non-sci fi movie?
It's no problem. I've seen well over 100 films he scored and the answer is yes. Absolutely. There are too many to list right off the bat, but "The Ground" (1957) quickly comes to mind. It's pretty monothematic, but it's gorgeous. Unfortunately, only two cues were ever released. The theme is actually a reworking of his theme from "Cape Ashizuri" (1954) which another good one from Ifukube. It's scored for piano, English horn and harp.
While a common choice, I would also recommend "The Burmese Harp" (1956). Not a whole lot of the score survives, and what is extant are pretty much limited to outtakes. However, the surviving material is great.

The Toho Music releases are still in-print, so those will likely not be reissued in the near future.
Thanks. Fingers crossed.

If it exists, I'd love to see a complete LOST WORLD OF SINBAD (aka SAMURAI PIRATE aka DAI TOZUKU) by Toho. There's a 14-minute suite on "The Film Music of Masaru Satoh, Volume 4" that is marvelous.
Color me intrigued.
