Listen to clips from the 9 soundtrack:
Taking Woodstock reunites Danny Elfman with Hulk director Ang "Why can't I quit you" Lee -- ah, yes, your suspicions of the multiple simultaneous camera perspectives in HULK being inspired by the old Woodstock: 3 Days of Peace & Music documentary seem to be justified. Rumors are the dynamic Elfman/Lee duo are also working on a new film mashup to be called MILKback Mountain.
Listen to what I see:
The Elfinator is back, this time with new music for this Summer's blockbuster movie Terminator Salvation, starring Christian Bale. Warner Bros and Reprise Records promise that Elfman’s synthesizer/orchestral score for Terminator Salvation elevates and expands the sweeping soundscape of one of the most successful series of films in history, capturing what director McG calls "the delicate nature of humanity and the unrelenting brutality of the machines." Sounds like the machines are also writing their press releases, doesn't it?
Enjoy these preview clips from Danny Elfman's score and the Terminator Salvation soundtrack, which also features "The Rooster" by Alice in Chains. All of these tracks and the CD are available now, including downloadable mp3s. Hasta la vista, Tender Lumplings.
Amazon calls Danny Elfman's newest musical score a "delightful, pop-driven hybrid. Elfman's orchestral score returns him to the vibrant milieu of his early Tim Burton collaborations, supercharged here by a manic energy that seems equal parts Simpsons, Bernard Herrmann and Carl Stalling." The soundtrack album also features the All-American Rejects' collaboration with Danny Elfman "The Future Has Arrived". Watch the Futurette video featuring Danny Elfman
