At least one Elfman score will be released by the label as stated on FSM. Any ideas/hopes for what it is? We know it’s not for a Burton film.
Yes i’m looking forward to it whatever it is. Where does it say it’s not a Burton film? (not doubting you, just wondering)
Ryan’s mentioned Black Beauty previously (which would be nice), but there’s not much I wouldn’t like to see. Is there anything left totally or mostly unreleased (like Scrooged) that merit a whole album release? Or will it probably just be an expansion?Someone at LLL (that MV guy?) said in an interview there’d be no more Burton scores because of the box set. Batman Returns and Apes were already well underway when that set came out.
NACHO LIBRE… Not likely but after listening to the Bootleg of this, I would love a legit release… Also an expanded DICK TRACY would really make my year!
Well Dolores Claiborne would be a good idea too. The cd version isn’t a satisfying one for the moment, I think, while Black Beauty has a rather good album. And there is a whole bunch of unrealised music in Dolores Claiborne…With the alternates and all that stuff, at least enough for two cds, maybe even three. Really this would be the best thing for me^^
But well…I’d still be happy with any other Elfman score.“Restless” wasn’t realised, and it looks like “Promised land” won’t be, too. What’s the problem with Gus Van Sant’s films scores ?
That’s a shame about the no more Burton scores for a while. The music box, expansion wise, was a disaster. Im assuming Ryan’s firmness with Black Beauty comes from a place of enlightenment. Which is nice. Watched the film a few months ago to check out the score situation, and most of the darker cues (the less album-friendly ones, I guess) are missing. The fire in the barn and the bridge in the storm for instance. There are also a lot of fiddly album edits that it would be nice to see longer versions of. Looking forward to it.
Unfortunately, I think it may be an expansion of a previously released score. That’s the habit at LLL.
Personally, I’d love to see the first release of a completely unreleased score (or one that only has a theme or brief suite or promo released)! But I realize that’s a long stretch.
Any of these would be great:
SUMMER SCHOOL
HOT TO TROT
FACE LIKE A FROG
GOOD WILL HUNTING
MY FAVOURITE MARTIAN
DEEP SEA 3D (the music not featured in Serenada Schizophrana)
NOTORIOUS
ANYWHERE BUT HERE
THE FAMILY MAN
DO NOT DISTURB
RESTLESS
CONDO PAINTING
MODERN VAMPIRES
SCREAM 2 (“Cassandra’s Aria”)
KICK-ASS (“Walk to Raisulis”….not counting promo)
NACHO LIBRETV:
AMAZING STORIES – FAMILY DOG
PERVERSIONS OF SCIENCE
POINT PLEASANT
HONDA
FORD LINCOLN MERCURY
NISSANNON-FILM MUSIC:
PIANO CONCERTO 1 1/2
THE FORTUNE TELLER
OVEREAGER OVERTURE
RABBIT AND ROGUE
JIMMY CALLICUT
LITTLE DEMONSOh yeah, and PROMISED LAND (I have the promo).
I have several of the titles above in some form or fashion, but a regular, commercial release would be great.
Yes, a kind of “Music for a darkened theatre 3″… And maybe even a number 4, with all this music that hadn’t any good cd release in all Elfman’s carreer.
But I don’t think there is a lot of hope for something like that…No, I think the hope for a MFADT3 passed out a long time ago. It’s now been 17 years since the last!
Just a thought here, but could it be the music for, Oz The Great And Powerful?
It would not be the first time LLL has released a new Elfman score. If memory serves me right, Taking Woodstock was released on LLL. So maybe it will be that score?????
Why would that not be on Disney, though? It’s clearly an attempt to recapture some of the success of Alice in Wonderland, so they’ll be riding that piggy all the way to the bank. I think it’ll be an expansion, and that’s fine with me.
If the fact that no album has been announced for Oz yet makes you think that it might be coming from LLL it’s worth noting that there are some last minute pick-up sessions happening right now which might explain the delay.
Any chance there’s an expanded Nightbreed in the works before I fork out for an expensive used copy?
Music Box Records posted on FSM that they’re working on a Good Will Hunting release which will hopefully include Elliot Smith’s songs. Lots of rights issues as usual though.
Message on La La Land’s facebook announcing there will be two Elfman releases in october. So, would it be Midnight Run and Good Will Hunting ? There were rumors about Black Beauty some times ago, also.
We’ll see, but anyway…Two is great !
La-La-Land announced the release of Black-beauty the 8th of October, in an expanded limited edition. 79 minutes of music, so 34 minutes more than the old release.
