Perfect Soundtrack Collection

News has finally surfaced on the last of the Godzilla Perfect Soundtrack Collection. In celebration of Godzilla's 50th Anniversary (6 years ago), Toho was slowly releasing these limited edition volumes featuring updated version of the movie series' soundtracks. The last volume contains the soundtracks to the last movies in the Millennium Era, which are still fairly easy to find on their own.

Unfortunately, I already own the highlights of the collection: the three scores by Michiru Oshima. The main appeal of this collection is the expanded version of Oshima's Megaguirus score, and the two soundtracks I don't own, GMK and Final Wars. I'm not a big fan of Final Wars, and I'm sure how they can devote three discs to one movie.

The dealbreaker might be that the bonus disks for the set are going to be David Arnold's full score to the American Godzilla movie. It is a great idea, except that it's identical to the limited edition version released by La La Land Records years prior. Which means either you get a second chance at owning the score or it's just another repeat in a set of repeats.
