Look for the “Simpson’s Theme” performed by Green Day on iTunes.
I will be adding a page on the soundtrack album once I get a few other things sorted with the site first.

I’ve heard the score and it’s pretty fantastic. Shows more respect for Danny Elfman than the SPIDER-MAN 3 situation, and we’re talking the mega-status Hans Zimmer here. He knows that the theme is a major part of THE SIMPSONS make up.

I believe Elfman did his own arrangement of the theme. It was his own composition and not an adaptation. A recording of the theme (with minor sfx) is available on one of the TVT themed compilation albums called SUPERHEROES or something.

IN BLOOM was directed by Vadim Perlman (HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG).

Steve Bartek also worked on a handful of Hans Zimmer’s scores in the late 80s early 90s.

Might be temp music but good for Danny Elfman. It might just be the most important film that his music has ever been in.

Here’s a few in no particular order…
THE PHANTOM – David Newman
THE SHADOW – Jerry Goldsmith
X-MEN – Michael Kamen
X-MEN 2 – John Ottman
X-MEN 3 – John Powell
BATMAN FOREVER – Elliot Goldenthal
BATMAN & ROBIN – Elliot Goldenthal
BATMAN: MASK OF THE PHANTASM – Shirley WalkerRyan
I think the Elfman and Young material couldn’t sound more different. Sorry, Young’s music doesn’t sound anything like Elfman’s, even when he’s quoting Elfman’s themes, like the bombastic chorale suddenly part of the Green Goblin theme.
Ryan
If you thought they sounded like real women I suggest meeting some real women and listening to how they talk. They do not talk about VANISHING POINT.

Part 1 of GRINDHOUSE: ugly women with dialogue written by a man in a trashy bar with the world’s greatest juke box (yeah, right). Part 2: ugly women pretending to eat with dialogue written by a man. Part 1 & 2: uniformly terrible performances, wasting Mary Elizabeth Winstead, wasting Kurt Russell, and a climax tacked, stapled and taped on. This wasn’t a celebration of bad movies, this WAS a bad movie.
For the record I like RES DOGS, PULP FICTION and JACKIE BROWN. QT has run out of steam and goodwill. Time to wake up beatniks, as your leader has stopped banging the bongos and now you’re just grooving without a beat!
Ryan
Well we disagree, because DEATH PROOF was the worst movie I’ve seen this year and I love B-grade schlock as much as the next guy. QT is a total whore too, lending his name to HOSTEL, the biggest POS I’ve seen in a decade and now DEATH PROOF, a pointless exercise in homage that is not much more than an excuse for the circle jerks to get together and paint the floor!
