MemberMothra LarvaeApr-25-2019 2:24 PMI had my doubts about what McCreary could do, after all I loved the work of Alexandre Desplat in the first one. But this, got me goosebumps!

MemberBaragonApr-25-2019 10:46 PMA Godzilla film never feels entirely complete without the Akira Ifukube's score.

MemberBaragonApr-25-2019 11:09 PMAlso, there seem to be almost like Buddhist monk chanting in there? What does that say about the plot? Linking it to the "temple" of Godzilla?

MemberBaragonApr-26-2019 10:13 AMG. H. (Gman) I think he meant something like what Shin Godzilla did to the original theme. And honestly, I feel the same way as he does.

AdminGodzillaApr-26-2019 11:14 AMYou mean simply using stock music? Toho's done that for years, even in the Heisei movies Ifukube didn't score. Why wouldn't we want NEW renditions of his theme?

AdminGodzillaApr-26-2019 11:22 AMGodzillatheking123,
The chanting is coming from taiko drummers--An ancient form of Japanese percussion using massive drums. They're very performance based. McCreary decided to use them to keep the Japanese feel of the music. Here's an example of them doing some light chanting with their drumming (though not nearly as chant oriented as the Godzilla soundtrack):
