As if this official website music thing isn’t complicated enough, according to the official Twitter account for ALICE:
“importantdate: The official #Alice site now features Danny Elfman’s score from the film: http://ow.ly/VcQP”
Huh?
That’s dumb as hell. I mean, isn’t Danny still recording it as we speak, or at least JUST finished it?

Oh good! I’m glad there will be a separate score release. I saw at the link below the track listing and I wanted to vomit.
Strange, I had heard that Disney Records had converted to digital download only. Michael Giacchino had said that his score for “Up” was the guinea pig for this, as it wasn’t released on CD. Good to see! Just a month and a half to go!
That’s a mock-up track. Definitely not a real orchestra. Still, it sounds more like Spiderman than I imagined. Weird.
Well, as discussed earlier it is NOT Elfman but a library track called ‘Midnight Waltz’ by Brand X. We’ll still have to wait a month and a half until we hear Elfman’s score.

DOH! Wow, I really should read all the posts, huh? Well, I’m pretty happy it’s not from the real score. It sounds too bombastic … like something from a superhero movie!
Personally, I’m shocked at how much buzz there is about this alleged “demo” track, and how people can’t tell that this is not Elfman’s work. I really thought the fans knew his stuff better than that. I guess I was wrong.

GB: What was the very last thing you finished on Sunday?
DE: It was this crazy dance that the Mad Hatter does. It’s called the Fudderwacken. That was something we had tried many different approaches before we reached the one that is in the movie.
When I read that part all I was thinking was… the CD probably won’t have the final version on it, so the CD will be different than the film version.
This from Disney:
FUTTER-WHAT? — Futterwacken is the term used to describe the Underlanders’ dance of unbridled joy. Composer Danny Elfman was stumped when it came to creating the music for the dance. He wrote four different pieces for the director, each fun, unique and, as Elfman says, “pushing the bounds of what could be acceptable.”
Sound clips! Lots of choir!

The CD is reportedly around 45 minutes.
