    From what I’m hearing, this seems a little different. I really like the groove in the “TOUCH” and “THE TRUTH” samples.

    Exciting. I hope it is different from what Elfman has done semi-recently. Not that it would be bad if it wasn’t, just that I would like something new.

    Don’t hear any woodwind or brass, so I guess this was an all Strings & Percussion Orchestra with the solo piano (augmented by electronic sounds)…. or were their any woodwind or brass.

    I like the lack of winds – it’s a change from, especially, his Burton scores.

    Argh, no other way to listen to the samples than iTunes ? I won’t install that crap on my computer…

    I don’t understand… the album cover says “Music Composed and Conducted by Danny Elfman,” but the credits list Rick Wentworth as the conductor. Danny doesn’t usually conduct… what’s going on?

    I’d say it was a mistake.

    What is there to understand – the cover is obviously wrong! :)

    #66156

    Doesn’t Elfman and his agent look at the cover before it goes to press? It seems like an odd mistake and even stranger that no one realized it.

    “It’s On”? It certainly is! Thank you for the post. Can’t wait for this album.

    #66166

    The score is very Kingdom-esque. In other words, kind of boring.

    I’m really loving these samples now. If the album lives up it”ll have been some year for Danny.

    I think it’s absolutely STUNNING, exactly the kind of Elfman I prefer these days (cool ambient textures, calm atmosphere, some Glassian ostinatos). I’ll rather have one of these than 10 superhero scores or other noisy affairs.

    I don’t think it sounds anything like THE KINGDOM (which, incidentally, I also find to be one of the most underrated Elfman scores ever!), though.

    Everytime we have this debate you assume I’m only prefer his action-oriented scores. I’ve said that I also like his slower-paced scores like “Black Beauty” and “Sommersby.” But, sorry, these “Good Will Hunting” and “Simple Plan” type scores are just boring Oscar-bait nonsense.

    Ah yeah, that’s true, we debated this before. I guess that’s because we have very different taste when it comes to film music and even Danny Elfman.

    Is this because of the printing error?

    So, anyone gotten the score from iTunes yet? Why is everyone so quiet? Or is everyone still choked up from how beautiful and mature “The Truth” cue is?

    Apparently, Amazon’s CD is a CD-R. So, this could be my very first “digital” purchase. I hate Apple and its policy but I’m looking for the best quality (320 kbps minimum or lossless), so which online store to go with ?

    Grabbed the MP3 album from Amazon, myself. $5.99’s a pretty great deal.

    Wanna reserve full judgment ’til I can see the film. So far I generally like what I’m hearing, but from an “album” perspective it’s good, not great (but very good). Much more mellow in tone than I was expecting. I always enjoy his action writing, so I’m digging “The Breakout.” I didn’t realize until my second or third listen through that cue that there are no winds or brass to be found until the last couple minutes (even then, not much). As if he needed to prove it, if nothing else, this score displays Elfman’s superb string writing. And as Lucius mentioned, “The Truth” is gorgeous; very Milk-like.

    Interested to see how this pairs up with the movie!

    Which bitrate for the Amazon mp3 ?
