    If you would have just posted the link once, I think we could have lived with that and even check your page…but flooding the boards means that :
    1. all your posts will get deleted
    2. no one here will check your page
    3. I don’t think you care anyway.

    “The director also pointed out that the exciting, score for the film was composed by none other than Danny Elfman, and that it’s a throwback to the music of classic Hollywood action movies.”

    Some of Elfman’s score plays on the website if you play the archery game. http://www.epicthemovie.com/epic-movie-games/archery

    It sounds like John Powell. Interesting.

    I know. And though I’m not interested in a song album release. There hasn’t been any announcements regarding that either. I wonder what’s the up? Hopefully this won’t be another case of a digital only release.

    I like what I hear. It’s quite a bit Powell style, but one can still recognise Elfman own caracteristics. There are agreable theme that appears in those samples, too…Well all this is promising.
    But if all the track are available on the amazon page, then the album is only 34 minutes long…This is quite short…It was also the case for “Promised land”, but there wasn’t so much music in the movie itself : but in a animated movie like this I think there is much more music. So I hope the album will be longer…

    The page for the album says the score is 52 minutes.

    Oh. I only checked for this info on the physical album page. How stupid can I be…
    Well this is reassuring :) waiting for the remaining of the samples then, should be here soon.

    Very nice. Seems to fit the movie perfectly. I’m expecting more and more from this.
    It’s the last score by Elfman for this year, I think ? There were a lot of rumors on different potential works, but none of them seems to get confirmed…

    All the samples are together now, Elfman only album.

    Someone’s uploaded it to youtube if you can’t wait until the CD release.

    One of the main themes sounds a lot like the Witches’ theme from Oz.

    #39592

    Wow! It DOES sound like John Powell, Harry Gregson-Williams, and all those Hans Zimmer cronies. I guess if you can’t beat them then join them.

    Just got the album, no linear notes just pictures and a list of performers. Seems like the largest orchestra Elfman has used for a while.
