Dive beneath the waves as BSX Records presents a double feature of Bukimisha’s thrilling “a capella’ recreations of Akira Ifukube’s complete scores to the special effects extravaganzas ATRAGON and LATITUDE ZERO.
ATRAGON follows the threat from the villainous undersea kingdom of the Mu Empire and the surface world’s only hope is from a secret super-submarine. The maestro’s score draws on many of his established martial themes, some originally created during the Second World War. A counterpoint is “Makoto’s Theme,” a gentle, longing melody for estranged daughter of the boat’s captain.
LATITUDE ZERO is an usual pulp-style adventure that was shot in English and starring Hollywood heavyweights Joseph Cotton, Cesar Romero, and Richard Jaeckel. Here, a trio of explorers stumble upon an hidden utopia at the bottom of the sea. They’re under threat from a mad scientist and his army of mutant creatures. Ifukube’s score for this film quite different from his earlier work, but fear not, his theme for the Black Shark submarine is still imbued with his more familiar menacing style.
This album has been mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland from the group’s original digital recordings, all supervised and approved by Takeo Yahiro & their great mentor, Dr. Bukimi. Exclusive liner notes by author David Hirsch with Sam Scali.
