    La-La Land Records, Paramount Pictures and Universal Music Special Markets present the remastered and expanded original motion picture score to the 1996 blockbuster feature film that re-imagined an iconic TV property and launched an astounding series of hit feature films that continues to this day, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, starring Tom Cruise, Ving Rhames and Jon Voight, and directed by Brian DePalma. Acclaimed composer Danny Elfman (BATMAN, DARKMAN, EDWARD SCISSORHANDS, SPIDER-MAN) unleashes an enthralling and action-packed orchestral score – one of the composer’s finest works. Elfman’s score is by turn dark and mysterious, light and romantic, sleek, yet operatic – all of it building up to one of the most exciting action finale music cues of the 90’s! Disc One features the original 1996 album assembly, mastered by Patricia Sullivan while Disc Two showcases the remastered film score, expanding the original album release by more than twenty minutes. Produced by Dan Goldwasser and Neil S. Bulk and remastered by Mike Matessino, this powerhouse 2-CD set is limited to 3000 units and features exclusive liner notes by writer Jeff Bond. The sleek art direction is by Dan Goldwasser.

    Nice. I still wonder how it leaked online more than a year before this release.

    Ordering.

    Darkman promo in the press release, too.

    I love this score. Such a unique moment in Elfman’s career.

    Of all the complete Elfman scores we have, this one holds up as a listening experience the most. I thought the album presentation was perfect as it is, but I was wrong.

    GREAT release.

    I’ve listened to this release every night for the last four days. It really is special – such a distinct, one-off moment in Elfman’s career.

    This is Top 5 Elfman material for me, period. The elegance in the writing is incredible, the way his themes can blend into Shifrin’s The Plot theme and the variety of them. I listen intensively to this score for a week at least one a year.
