Description
Discover the Space Amoeba soundtrack on vinyl!
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 conquer the planet. The only thing standing between humanity and the insidious invertebrates is a group of photographers doing reconnaissance for a tourism company!
Directing is of course 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 piano to match the kaiju's destruction with horns and a higher-pitched trumpet providing a lighter contrast. Ifukube scores action and horror with its signature heavy colors, but delivers suspense with otherworldly piano and strings, with a unique slippery theme for the evil amoeba. Another Ifukube triumph!
