Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (Japanese: 風の谷のナウシカ Hepburn: Kaze no Tani no Naushika) is a 1984 Japanese animated epic science-fiction fantasy film adapted and directed by Hayao Miyazaki, based on his own manga of the same name released in 1982. Isao Takahata produced the film for Tokuma Shoten and Hakuhodo, with Topcraft animating. Joe Hisaishi, in his first collaboration with Miyazaki, composed the film's musical score.

Joe HISAISHI has composed excellent soundtracks to virtually all of Hayao MIYAZAKI's films. "Nausicaa" was one of the first, and though I don't believe it's Hisaishi's best, it is still a good album that fans of the film and of Hisaishi's other soundtracks will likely enjoy.

Since you've doubtless seen "Nausicaa", you'll understand that I got the soundtrack mainly due to the soaring theme of the opening sequence and the innocence theme whose singing child dominates the haunting dream/flashback sequence. Those two themes pop up in a few places on the album, making the tracks in which they appear ("Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind", "Interchange with the Ohmu", "Nausicaa Requiem" and "Bird Person") the highlights of the soundtrack. Though they lose a little of their emotional power without Miyazaki's mesmerizing visuals to accompany them, they are still elegant and beautiful. The symphonic opening of "Nausicaa Requiem" is also moving and memorable.

Unfortunately, much of the rest of the album is dominated by early-80s electronics. In the film, the otherworldly electronics do a great deal to help set the scene and give it the proper feel. On their own in the soundtrack recording, however, they feel overexposed and out of place (and more than a little dated). This is especially true of "The Resurrection of the God Warrior" but is also a problem for a couple of the other tracks. The short and exciting "Battle Between Mehve and Corvette" is the song where the electronics work the best without the visuals.

Though this isn't Hisaishi's strongest work, most of the electronics grew on me after a few listenings, and the beautiful main themes mentioned above are reminiscent of his later work in "Princess Mononoke" and "Spirited Away". In all, an album that fans of the film will probably enjoy. As a final note, it may be worthwhile to compare prices with the "Nausicaa Best Album", which includes both this soundtrack and another disc of symphonic arrangements.
