고질라: 전투의 경계에 선 도시 (오리지널 사운드트랙)

Finally, a proper pressing of Hattori's score for the second film—the bass on the heavier tracks rumbles the floorboards, and the vinyl's surface is dead quiet between cues. The artwork on the gatefold alone is worth the price if you're a fan of the trilogy.

I put this on the turntable as soon as it arrived, and the bass on that main theme just rumbles through the room. The vinyl itself is quiet with no surface noise, which lets Hattori's tense, layered strings really shine. It’s a fantastic pressing for a score that deserves to be heard this way.

The record came wrapped tight and flat, and the gatefold sleeve feels sturdy enough to survive a few moves. Hattori’s choral swells and percussive hits really open up on vinyl, giving the whole Kaiju battle a weight I didn’t get from streaming.
