Reposting from FSM, because that’s the world we live in…
Listening to the album this morning and at the risk of surrendering any credibility as an Elfman fan, it’s quite clear who what wrote here.
Compare Elfman cues “Logos” or “L Train” with what is presumably Bacon’s “Seeing is Believing” and “Too Much” and you’ll hear the difference. There’s a lilting woodwind that threads through Bacon’s material that sort of sounds more John Powell than Danny Elfman.
Anyways, hard not to smile when you hear the first track on the album.
Ryan KeaveneyKeymasterNow on Spotify:
Ryan KeaveneyKeymasterAh, you beat me to it. It’s a significant portion of the cue as well.
Ryan KeaveneyKeymasterYes, MIB INT, a few seconds of which orchestra contractor Gina Zimitti shared in an Instagram story.
Ryan KeaveneyKeymasterMy wife and I just saw it (Granny’s babysitting the little one) and both of us were in tears basically the entire time. Shocked to see the negative reaction to a deeply moving experience. I was waiting for Tim’s story touches and was not disappointed in the inclusion of the Nightmare Island concept.
The score was fantastic in the film – I think the increase in use of the “Soaring” theme really helped and wow, that finale cue is gorgeous.
Ryan KeaveneyKeymasterAwesome news. DARKMAN is one of my favorites, as the early 90s period my personal Elfman zenith. I already own the MCA CD and the Waxworx LP reissue (I don’t know if the MCA LP was ever issued in North America, but I could be wrong.)
Fingers crossed cues are not combined on the LLL album.

“From The Simpsons to the eccentric realm of Tim Burton to the superhero universe of Spiderman and Avengers, composer Danny Elfman has been responsible for bringing fictional worlds to life with music for decades. Now he’s taking on a new challenge: his first violin concerto.”

Ryan KeaveneyKeymasterHmmm, nothing on .ca yet. I recently picked up the song track album for completion sake. This would be a more worthwhile addition.
Ryan KeaveneyKeymasterOh, and:
Co-composed with Chris Bacon!
Ryan KeaveneyKeymasterWell is this confirmation enough? 🙂

CD Release: June 14, 2019Ryan KeaveneyKeymasterBrief clip with score. You can’t hear much, but this is definitely Elfman.
Ryan KeaveneyKeymasterYeah, this was a surprise. It literally premieres tomorrow (March 9!)
Ryan KeaveneyKeymasterSome new quotes from Elfman on DON’T:
“Anytime I can do anything where someone says, ‘That couldn’t be from you,’ that’s like my highest compliment,” Elfman says.
The rest of the score was written for a tiny ensemble of seven players. There are some wordless vocals, but most of it is just a guitarist and Elfman on keyboards and synths. That was mainly due to the film’s small budget, but Elfman enjoys taking a break from the symphonic juggernauts — including his recent score for “The Grinch” — and stripping things down.
Ryan KeaveneyKeymasterYikes, dddeee, you’re right. I think I got this and DUMBO mixed up. My daughter is almost 1 year old and my memory hasn’t returned… Those dumb dad sitcoms might not be totally wrong.
Ryan KeaveneyKeymasterWish the recent Elfman London recordings were closer-mic’ed. I prefer being in the orchestra rather than outside of it.
Lots of Prokofiev Romeo & Juliet too. Haven’t really picked out the main theme yet, but so far the score is a romp.Ryan KeaveneyKeymasterRyan KeaveneyKeymasterJust finished this up tonight, thanks for sharing the link before I could! Perhaps Elfman’s best interview? It seems like he could have talked forever.
Ryan KeaveneyKeymasterLooks like Dominic Lewis is scoring this?
Ryan KeaveneyKeymasterIsn’t that how it always works? 😉
Ryan KeaveneyKeymasterI hear Elfman vocals at the beginning of that trailer.
Ryan KeaveneyKeymasterCD is going out of print…

Ryan KeaveneyKeymasterVinyl coming from Mondo October, 2018:
Mission: Impossible – Music From The Original Motion Picture Score 2XLP
I think what you’re hearing is the Schifrin that Elfman worked into his own score?
Ryan KeaveneyKeymasterMy Cd shipped yesterday. It seems like a long Elfman drought is finally coming to an end!
Ryan KeaveneyKeymasterNice. Isn’t the theatrical version scored with music from the first film? Hard to tell with all the sfx.
