The Nightmare Before Christmas [2-CD Reissue]

The Nightmare Before Christmas [2-CD Reissue] (2006) more music like this

by Danny Elfman

Danny Elfman, who has scored many of Tim Burton's imaginative films (Edward Scissorhands, his two Batman films, etc.), is a perfect musical partner for the somewhat macabre director, and never more so than here, where, in fact, Elfman gets not only to write the music but to play the part of the main character. The Nightmare Before Christmas is an ...

Dead Man's Party

Dead Man's Party (1985) more music like this

by Oingo Boingo

Returning after a two-year recording hiatus (during which bandleader Danny Elfman recorded a solo album), Oingo Boingo forsook the excesses of smart-aleck humor and quirky production that had led critics almost universally to dismiss the band's first four albums. The sound is still maybe just a bit too uptight and over-determined, but the horn ...

Edward Scissorhands

Edward Scissorhands (1990) more music like this

by Danny Elfman

It is not the easiest task to combine compassion and creepiness into one musical piece, but Danny Elfman has demonstrated, quite elegantly, just how to do it. Edward Scissorhands is quite considerably his masterpiece, instantly recognizable and hauntingly memorable. The concept of a man-made creation, a recluse who has been left with scissors for ...

Spider-Man [Original Score]

Spider-Man [Original Score] (2002) more music like this

by Danny Elfman

Criticized by some as being merely functional, Danny Elfman's intricate, propulsive music for Spider-Man delivers a richly detailed soundscape that proves even more intricate with repeat listenings. Elfman's brief motifs for Peter Parker and the Green Goblin propel the score, dancing around each other as the album progresses. Punctuated throughout ...

Meet the Robinsons

Meet the Robinsons (2007) more music like this

by Danny Elfman

The Walt Disney animated feature Meet the Robinsons, based on William Joyce's book A Day with Wilbur Robinson, about a 12-year-old boy who travels into the future, is not a musical per se, but as this soundtrack album shows, there is plenty of music in it. Danny Elfman composed the score, cues from which take up 29 of the disc's 53 minutes. That ...

Dick Tracy [Original Score]

Dick Tracy [Original Score] (1990) more music like this

by Danny Elfman

Danny Elfman rearranges a handful of the notes from his otherwise identical Batman score. That proves to be enough to make this one considerably less melodically coherent. The highlight of the record comes when Elfman stops plagiarizing his own work long enough to plagiarize John Williams' classic barroom jazz from the cantina scene in Star Wars ...

Music for a Darkened Theatre, Vol. 1: Film & Television Music

Music for a Darkened Theatre, Vol. 1: Film & Television Music (1990) more music like this

by Danny Elfman

A very representative collection of some of Elfman's best work for films and television, it includes music from Batman, Dick Tracy, Midnight Run, even the theme from The Simpsons, among others. Tavia Hobart, All Music Guide

Only a Lad

Only a Lad (1981) more music like this

by Oingo Boingo

Only a Lad introduced the world to a man who would later become one of its most recognizable popular composers. Danny Elfman, later to write the score for The Simpsons as well as countless movie soundtracks, formed Oingo Boingo in 1977, but it wasn't until Only a Lad's 1981 release that they achieved national recognition. Only a Lad contains ...

Boi-ngo (1987) more music like this

by Oingo Boingo

Oingo Boingo have shortened their name to the more direct "Boingo," but their music hasn't changed. Even it longer sounds quite as fresh, it remains the warped, party-friendly dance music that it always has been. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Batman [Original Score] (1989) more music like this

by Danny Elfman

Danny Elfman's Batman theme music had become a pop culture classic even before it was repeated in a parade of Bat sequels, proving to be every bit as enduring as John Williams' tunes from Star Wars, Superman, or Jaws. This is due not only to the film's box office success, but also to its hummability and its seemingly inevitable appropriateness for ...

Dark at the End of the Tunnel (1990) more music like this

by Oingo Boingo

Danny Elfman, lead singer of Oingo Boingo, knows how to make great music. With his penetrating charisma he can pull many a song through in his own wacky direction and style, making it equally dark and fun. Dark at the End of the Tunnel seems misguided, as though Elfman has lost sense of the music he is "meant" to make, or maybe he had been ...

So Lo (1984) more music like this

by Danny Elfman

A solo outing that fails by a wide margin to be distinguishable from an Oingo Boingo record. The key highlight is "Gratitude," which turned up in a stronger mix as part of the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack. Steven McDonald, All Music Guide

Nothing to Fear (1982) more music like this

by Oingo Boingo

Though Nothing to Fear is by no means Oingo Boingo's best album, it is certainly not as bad as many near-sighted critics have asserted. Elfman's songwriting, even when he's not firing on all cylinders, still blows the hinges off most of his peers on their best days. It is true that many songs on this go-around lack the smooth transitions that ...

Best O' Boingo (1992) more music like this

by Oingo Boingo

A gothic, experimental band that utilized a simple blend of R&B and new wave, Oingo Boingo was quite an innovative force in the eight or so years covered on Best O' Boingo. Few bands can claim such a unique spot in the annals of pop music, but thanks to the visionary songs from lead singer Danny Elfman, Oingo Boingo often transcended the ...

Boingo Alive (1988) more music like this

by Oingo Boingo

Not quite a greatest-hits album and not quite a live album, Oingo Boingo celebrates not quite a decade of existence with the peculiar double album Boingo Alive. Elfman and bandmates re-record two dozen tracks from Boingo's prodigious canon in no particular order, and sweeten the deal by tossing in a few freshly penned numbers. The thrust of the ...

Charlotte's Web [2006 Score] (2006) more music like this

by Danny Elfman

A heartfelt soundtrack that lives up to E.B. White's classic tale of a lovable pig, Danny Elfman's original score to the 2006 live-action film version of Charlotte's Web finds the often quirky composer mixing his trademark wondrous and spooky style with a more classical sound that brings to mind the work of iconic American composer Aaron Copland. ...

This two-disc set offers a superb overview of Elfman's innovative and evocative film music. In addition to compositions for Edward Scissorhands, Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, Batman Returns, Pee-Wee's Playhouse and Black Beauty, the collection also includes seven unissued tracks.

Boingo (1994) more music like this

by Boingo

The introduction to Boingo's first track, "Insanity," sounds like an unused cut from the Batman motion picture theme , shuffling into an angry and eerie rebellion against Christianity, right wing mentality ("years of evolution and we get Danny Quayle"), and media. The lyrics and instrumentation alone demand attention, but the album is pushed over ...

Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow reunites the distinctive director with his equally noteworthy musical collaborator, Danny Elfman. His orchestral score for the film features the mix of darkness and wonder that has graced Burton's previous films and other fantasy and horror movies like Army of Darkness and Dolores Claiborne. Much of Sleepy Hollow's score ...

Best of Oingo Boingo: Skeletons in the Closet (1989) more music like this

by Oingo Boingo

Even for a career spanning over a decade, three Oingo Boingo greatest-hits albums seem a little far-fetched. Each one contains a good sample of some of their best songs, ranging from early new wave days to pop and rock, all in their twisted tongue-in-cheek style. The reasoning behind the triple deal is that their earlier albums were distributed by ...

Red Dragon [Original Score] (2002) more music like this

by Danny Elfman

Anyone recalling the 2001 film adaptation of Thomas Harris' novel Hannibal and expecting Dr. Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lecter, played by Anthony Hopkins, to turn up in Red Dragon minus one of his hands can be reassured that the film is actually a "prequel" to Hannibal's predecessor, The Silence of the Lambs, not a sequel to Hannibal. Dr. Lecter ...
