BSX Records and Bukimisha the Weird Society present another pairing of thrilling Akira Ifukube scores for two alien invasion spectaculars! 

The first one is THE MYSTERIANS (1957), that spectacular effort featuring stunning visual effects presented for the first time in the “Toho Scope” widescreen format. Akira Ifukube’s monumental score features a manic, magnificent battle march as the united citizens of Earth tackle aliens bent on breeding with earth women to replenish their dying race. DOGORA, THE SPACE MONSTER (1964) sees a non-anthropomorphic, jellyfish-like alien gobbling up diamonds as police track down an international group of thieves. The film’s eerie unsettling main theme for the creature was countered throughout by the maestro’s trademark uptempo motifs representing the determination of the Japanese Self Defense Force.
