Space Amoeba Vinyl - 1LP

The organism then transforms into giant kaiju that mimic a cuttlefish, a stone crab, and a "matamata" turtle, and uses these destructive forms in their plan to take over the planet. The only thing standing between humanity and the insidious invertebrates is a group of photographers doing reconnaissance for a tourism company!

The production is of course ensured by the legendary Ishirō Honda (MOTHRA, RODAN) alongside producer Tomoyuki Tanaka, with the dreamy Akira Kubo (DESTROY ALL MONSTERS) as photographer Kudo. As with GODZILLA, Honda recruited the great Akira Ifukube to compose the thrilling score, and Ifukube brought his innovation and dramatic grandeur.

The title theme is beautifully distinctive, mixing thick brass and low-pitched piano to match the kaiju's destruction with horns and higher-pitched trumpet, providing a lighter contrast. Ifukube scores action and horror with his signature heavy colors, but delivers suspense with otherworldly piano and strings, with a unique sliding theme for the evil amoeba. Another Ifukube triumph!
