ParticipantTrack (Mother’s Name) is nicked from Promised Land…
ParticipantParticipantParticipantA cue is able to buy on Amazon.
ParticipantColumbia tweeted (it has since been deleted) that this is recording in Glasgow this week, and Sony Classical will be releasing it at some point.
ParticipantI need this in my life.
ParticipantThat was magic.
May 31, 2018 at 11:01 am in reply to: Who did what? A comprehensive (?) list of contributers. #98638ParticipantIt’s probably worth countering this with the fact that Wanted, Oz, Fifty Shades of Grey, Alice 2 and Justice League all had multiple additional composers listed, but those scores are almost all Elfman. But there seems to be a difference to having some guys come to help meet a deadline by scoring some nondescript scenes (the aforementioned scores) and literally farming out major cues (Big Eyes, Goosebumps, Fifty Shades Darker…I’m assuming Fifty Shades Freed too).
For any other composer I probably wouldn’t care. But Danny’s my favourite – I’d rather not get excited over the prospect of hearing some guys being paid to sound like Danny Elfman when the real guy is still there and prolific.
ParticipantAlex Somers wrote a track for ‘Don’t Worry’ and Melisa McGregor did some arranging too. That’s admittedly a far cry from Darker, which should probably give Buckley a co-composer credit – it’s no different than what Zimmer does. But, like you said, it’s disappointing from the guy who always says he likes to work alone and had 10 years where nobody thought he wrote his own music. Now he’s often not writing the music and everyone thinks he is!
I’d say that I’d rather he scored smaller budget movies, but then Big Eyes had like 4 additional composers so…
ParticipantI know that it’s rough on composers these days with editing taking place at the last minute, but how come Desplat/Giacchino can stay so prolific and not require additional composers while Elfman needs someone to write half of the score to a sequel where (musically speaking) everything was already established?
Silvestri is older than Elfman and had two crazy big scores back-to-back this year and had no help, but Elfman needed help with a micro-budget, Van Sant indie movie?
Had Buckley simply been doing some arranging he would have got a specific percentage credit (like Lurie is credited with 12% of ‘The Dungeon’ from Alice), but he gets the standard 50% (Elfman getting the other 50% because his themes are being used) which means that Buckley wrote the cue. This isn’t ‘additional music’ at all. The same thing happened with Chris Bacon on Goosebumps.
ParticipantI just checked ASCAP and it turns out that Buckley actually wrote ‘Vandalize’, ‘Danger Girl’, ‘Survive’ and ‘Announcement’ too, along with a litter of cues that never made the album.
So Elfman wrote less than half of the score it seems… really disappointing. At least we know why the first score is so much better than the next two I guess.
ParticipantSounds like score

ParticipantThe first 48 seconds play in the film; the rest is ‘I Got a Ride’ from Silvestri’s first score tracked in.
ParticipantThe rest of the cue plays during the end credits at some point, which I guess was some sort of apology. Mixing on this one was beyond dire too.
ParticipantCover art is now on Amazon.
ParticipantI listened to Darker again in light of this and have a few thoughts.
Buckley is credited with ‘Texting’ which is pretty much an arrangement of the beginning of ‘Danger Girl’ which Elfman wrote.
‘Bathroom Encounter’ accounts for two cues in the film – one is a brief, electronic cue with has that dissonant Jack sound, and the rest is for the scene with Basinger. As Buckley is credited with ‘Jack Attack’ (which makes prominent use of that sound) I’m inclined to think the rest of the cue is by Elfman.
ParticipantScratch that – ‘Survive’ is just by Elfman.

ParticipantNice write-up. Again, the score is described as ‘jazzy’.
ParticipantAnother user and I collected them here, if you’re interested.
ParticipantSome footage premiered during CinemaCon and the response was…unanimously positive surprisingly. Hoping for the best.
