My album arrived today. No linear notes as expected. The score takes a while to reveal itself like a lot of Elfman scores, there are at least two themes there despite other people claiming there are none.
Got mine today. Very nice listening. I like the instrument palette of these kinds of Elfman scores, the glass and the bells, and the marimba in this is nice, especially in the more propulsive cues (I like the Classroom tracks especially). Still waiting for the melodies to become fully apparent. Not sure how I feel about that oddly layered (sampled sounding?) solo vocal line though.
A nice little album. There is a continuity in his works for Van Sant, at least since Milk… Very agreable.
I really dig this album. The 10-minute recording session track is particularly interesting, althoug mostly as a curiousity.
That recording session track is a bit of an anomaly with regards to the rest of the score, isn’t it? Aside from the slow passages from about 1.30 in to about 8.50 which, I think, resemble the film version of “Turn Around”, I don’t know what that (very interesting) stacatto part at the start and the tremolo part at the end are supposed to refer to in the film, or relate to in the score. Wild tracks maybe?
Anyone seen the movie? I thought it was pretty good, I liked how ‘non-showy’ everything was. The only piece of score not on the album, I think, is the 15 or so seconds of ‘Turn Around’ that plays when Steve is driving.
