ParticipantSamples are on iTunes.
Really surprising actually. Lots of quirky sounds, and ‘Car Fun’…
ParticipantThis sounds cool.

Sam Taylor-Johnson also has a good-sounding film preparing to film.
ParticipantI love Pokémon, but this really isn’t something even the die-hards are going to want to see.
ParticipantJustice League was a huge underperformer.
True about Elfman getting good notices (even if Tulip Fever made no good use of Elfman’s excellent music) for those films though, and he’s been getting the same for this one.
I’m normally not too fussed on the quality of the movies, but this year has seen Elfman score four big critical duds, so it’s nice to see this get good notices (currently at 90% at Rotten Tomatoes).
I’m also happy for Van Sant, who has made some of my favourite movies – My Own Private Idaho, Drugstore Cowboy, To Die For, Elephant…
ParticipantCover art is up.
ParticipantVan Sant maintains an improvisatory spirit, too. He has elicited a stupendous score from Danny Elfman that’s largely bebop but with alternately eerie and comforting orchestral noodling.

While it doesn’t seem like it’s a home run, this is looking to be Elfman’s first well-received movie since Goosebumps.
Participant‘Set in Van Sant’s native Portland, and zeroing in on a very narrow segment of Callahan’s book, the film once again finds avant-gardist Van Sant operating in ultra-conventional Lasse Hallström mode, spinning a handsome, honey-toned inspirational tale (bolstered by one of the warmest scores of Danny Elfman’s career),’

Also, Elfman and Van Sant are taking part in a ‘Cinema Cafe’ interview in a few hours. These are always really informative and lengthy!
ParticipantResponses out of Sundance seem good.

ParticipantParticipantCD on the 16th Feb.
ParticipantLalaland confirmed on Facebook that they’re releasing another Elfman this year.
Participant30 seconds of score.

It’s a more troubled take on ‘Making It Real’ from Darker.
ParticipantAs per usual, two Elfman cues on the soundtrack. No word on a score release yet.
ParticipantI love the Batman tease in ‘Batman on the Roof’, though I wish he would’ve used the fifth note more than just that one time in ‘The Final Battle’. Those bells (?) at the start also remind me of the main titles to Batman.
I still feel like the recording is really off at points, though. ‘The World Needs Superman’ and ‘Home’ sound especially off.
Those two action cues are insane. It’s a shame that the longer version of ‘The Final Battle’ omits music from the shorter version: it makes losing that version impossible.
ParticipantWell, if you think it’s being overpraised you should put some of the tracks on YouTube and read the comments.
ParticipantI think the ‘Krypton’ cue was tracked in, though I might be wrong.
The unreleased music from the hostage situation didn’t sound like Elfman to me, as Ryan mentioned earlier.
December 25, 2017 at 10:42 am in reply to: Who did what? A comprehensive (?) list of contributers. #98486ParticipantTulip Fever (on album) is a solo effort from Elfman.
The end credits of the film credit an additional composer, but I’m confident that’s somebody who was brought in long after Elfman left. If you’re ever unfortunate to see the film you’ll hear someone trying to mimic Elfman’s score, but clearly with next to no budget.
ParticipantToprak, Lindgren and Zanelli are all credited with ‘Additional Music and Arrangements’, but so were Bacon and Lindgren for Alice 2 and that album is all Elfman. We’re none the wiser until the BMI repertoire updates.
ParticipantI have. I notice about a dozen new things each time I listen to it.
The booklet has a lot of neat pictures from the recording sessions.
