Even music from Dragon Ball rears its ugly head in the Japanese soundtrack of Z. They play Ninja Murasaki's theme while Goku is fighting Frieza as a Super Saiyan. Its embarrassing, one of the most unfitting music scores they could have picked. The Faulconer soundtrack on the other hand has brand new themes for each saga and each villain. The Faulconer score gets a pretty bad rep from DBZ purists, but for some people who like me who grew up with this soundtrack, it's the only way to watch the show! Thanks to Diccolo-420 (๐๐๐๐) of Kanzenshuu forums, we can now watch the abridged and appended Dragon Ball (Z) Kai with the nostalgic feel we crave.
