“When Rick first approached me about doing a musical score for his ‘no budget’ film, Forbidden Zone, I thought sure, fine, it’ll be fun.” Sixty minutes of original music in a dozen different styles needed to be created in and around various older, and uneven, pre-recorded pieces. But he said that it must all be completed within a two week ’round-the-clock’ composing, arranging and recording marathon, I thought he was crazy; but crazy is my middle name. I took the challenge and enjoyed it immensely. It was an interesting period for me. “Oingo Boingo” was just leaving its theatrical stage and starting to play as a band. We had a chance to combine the older styles we used to play with some of the crazier sounds which were to be–as well as a lot of musical pieces which were unlike anything we had even planyed, old or new. It was a great chance to stretch out and go nuts. The Boingos current fans may find the “film music” somewhat foreign to the styles they now associate with us. But nonetheless, its a piece of historic musical schizophrenia for me, I proud of it and hope you enjoy listening!” Danny Elfman – 1982
