The album says that this track was unused, but I recall it as source music from the Joker commercial from the film. Am I wrong?
I’m listening to it now. Wonderful. But whatever happened to that alternate theme that we heard on those YouTube clips for the TV special – it’s not on here. No complaints though, this is a much welcomed release. Love that Joker Muzak.
Looking forward to the Expanded BATMAN RETURNS release.
I’ll add that Herrmann’s work for SISTERS is one of the nuttiest, over-the-top film scores I’ve ever heard – and one of my favorites from him. Any Elfman way can indulge in that soundtrack.
Wow! At one point in that commercial, he morphs from old Daniel Baldwin to a young Alec. Crazy what they can do with effects these days.
Nothing to add here, other than mutual love for Goldsmith’s score for THE SHADOW. In fact, I think I’ll play it right….now…..
Well, after years of searching – it looks like the Promo Score for NACHO LIBRE has leaked. I’ve got it now, and it is quite nice. Much more quiet than I expected. There are some truly beautiful passages in this 46 minute promo, nicely balanced by the Ramses theme hear and there.
Me neither. I fail to see much of any Bernstein influence of Elfman; the least of which, with Ghostbusters.
If you look at that blog – it is comprised entirely of non-existent, fan made soundtrack cover art. I saw that same artwork a long time ago and searched for the bootleg. It does not exist anywhere. Still, I’d love to be proven wrong….
Love the music. Hate the movie. Burton is pretty hopeless anymore. I had low expectations, but they failed to meet even that. Bonham-Carter was great, however.
I’m sure that Burton will leap to do this on Broadway. Right after he completes that Batman Broadway Musical…
Library music, eh? Who/what is its source? I’ve never had much respect for Online Horror “Journalists” – but now I have even less. Ha!
From “Shock Till You Drop”:
Do you mind talking about the back and forth about the score? Elfman is back and I thought that worked out for the best.
Johnston:
It does. Danny had to score a film that was half an hour longer [than what the film is now]. And he had to score it very early. It was last summer, I think. He said, “This has happened to me before, and I know it’s going to happen now. You’re going to re-cut the film and my score isn’t going to work.” We re-cut the film, we put his score in. And what happened is he had themes he had spaced out and it worked great in his cut. When we took out that half hour, his themes were closer together. So things get familiar and you go, “Wait, I just heard that.” We previewed the film, we all recognized it didn’t work. But there was a reaction from someone high up at NBC/Universal, because a new trailer had been cut with the electronic score, someone said, “Hey, let’s do the whole film that way!” It was something I reacted to pretty violently. That’s the wrong idea, guys. They said they were going to try it. I had been so worn down, I said, “Okay, let’s try it.” They hired a guy who is a talented composer in his own right. They assigned him something that was almost impossible to do. When we put his music to the picture, even though the music was working, it was so out of context with what you were seeing. You can do anything in a trailer, put any music in and the audience doesn’t see that trailer and go to the movie expecting that music. So the studio, to their credit, after they heard the new score, recognized Danny had a better score that matched the film. We then went back in to record about 15 minutes of new material.Yeah, I’m stumped. Paul Hasslinger is now out. Elfman’s music is back. Sorry, the other past messages are dense with info and the main MFADP webpage says Elfman is out. Just trying to be clear…
Is this true!?!?!?!
