Well Mr. Elfman turned 70 today. And the man doesn’t look it. He looks about 20 years younger.
I hope Mr. Elfman has a very happy 70th birthday and many more.Even though I prefer pressed CDs over CDRs any day. I still plan on purchasing this album regardless if it’s a CDR or not because it’ll be the only way to get a physical copy of Elfman’s percussion quartet. I was just curious if this album was a CDR or not.
Yep! That’s why I try to wait a few months before I purchase these expanded remastered albums from these specialty labels in case of technical issues or errors.
Me too! That sounds 1000 times more interesting than yet another superhero/blockbuster affair.
Jokes aside. Both projects have my interest.
Elfman just replied to someone on Twitter, saying that he spotted the movie with Raimi last week Thought 65 was going to be written first as he mentioned his next score being half electronic and half orchestral – I hope he’s still scoring that movie

Interesting. Nightbreed? Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas? Sleepy Hollow? Hulk? Big Fish?
‘Darkman’ Turns 30: Liam Neeson, Frances McDormand and More Remember the Arduous Making of Sam Raimi’s Influential Superhero Film
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/features/darkman-turns-30-liam-neeson-frances-mcdormand-and-more-remember-the-arduous-making-of-sam-raimis-influential-superhero-filmElfman also shares how he felt about the studios treatment of Raimi and the film during post production of Darkman. Now it make sense why Raimi rarely talks about this movie in interviews and why he didn’t participate in any of the special features on the Shout! Factory release of Darkman a couple of years ago. He never had final cut of the movie, which was originally two hours long. After this article I wonder if there is going to be a push or movement for a Raimi cut of Darkman now. Shout! Factory released a director’s cut and a Cabal cut of Clive Barker’s Nightbreed a few years ago. Zack Snyder is getting and completing his cut of Justice League soon. David Ayer and some fans are begging for the release of his original cut of Suicide Squad. And even some Batman fans are begging for Schumacher’s assembly cut of Batman Forever to be released. As much as I’m a fan the final cut of Darkman I’m still curious about Raimi original cut of the film. Hopefully someday it’ll be released because his cut is supposedly even weirder than the final cut.
This took me by surprise due to Varese’s track record with how long they procrastinate on expanding scores they hold in perpetuity. With that said I’m looking forward to it. And the score definitely seems to have gotten overlooked overtime.
Back Lot Music must’ve realized they released the music a week early on you tube. So to avoid deleting the Dolittle videos they marked each as private for the time being. Not to mention while also preventing youtubers from uploading any videos of the Dolittle score on you tube for the time being. That’s just my assumption anyway.
So the score is basically Elfman in his comfort zone. Oh boy, I can already imagine Thor’s criticisms and complaints about this score not being to his liking.
Well Back Lot Music has already posted the soundtrack on youtube. However, I haven’t given it a listen.

The interview doesn’t reveal any new insight we don’t already know about Elfman.
