It's all zilla and no filla on this week's show as we celebrate both the centenary of Japanese musical maestro Akira Ifukube, who wrote most of the music for Toho Studio's series of Godzilla movies, and 'reboot' this year of the Godillza franchise.

Most of the music you'll hear comes from one of the classic Godzilla movies but we do also have a few tributes to the great lizard by other musicians.

PMB181: Godzilla Welcomes You To Monster Island (Seksu Roba, Akira Ifukube, 8-Bit Arcade, The Peanuts, Brian Setzer, Eric Whitacre, Masato Shimon & Riichiro Manabe)

Project Moonbase is filled with music to surprise, delight and occasionally horrify you. Made by someone who really cares (and his prisoner). We bring you music you’ve never heard before that will put a smile on your face, open your third eye and make you dance. We love space age bachelor pad music, library music, charity shop cheese, hauntology, ping pong stereo, moog music, sitar-driven psychedelia, lounge, the retro-futuristic, contemporary electronica, soundtrack music, radiophonics, euro-pop, orchestral-pop, industrial-opera, hyphens, 8bit, chip tune, skwee, uneasy listening and steel drums. We’ve been known to salute the theramin, sidle up to an ondes Martenot and smile beneficently on the ukelele. Every episode includes the unnecessary news: the strange, the weird, the futuristic and the fun. Join us now and in the future!
