Format:Audio CD
First of all, as the title of this review says, this is not a collection of all the great classic 80's tunes that helped make Donnie Darko the film it is...It's better than that. When I first put it in the CD player, I was sceptical, I thought it was another disappointing spin off from a great film, but I was very very wrong. Only after really listening to the ambience that Michael Andrews brought to this film do you realise that Donnie Darko was taken from obscure retro script to masterpiece by the score. The only minor gripe with this cd is that Mad World is remixed/repeated three times at the end which, although it is undoubtedly a beautiful cover, is a bit much even for the most hardened Gary Jules fan.
If you want the 80's, get one of those compilation albums that line the bargain bins, but if you want to experience the film with your eyes closed, please buy this, and be blown away.

After reading the poor review, thought I had to have a say. This album is a Score - not a Soundtrack. It captures the mood of the film perfectly and is topped off by the amazing version of Tears for Fears' Mad World. Buy it - simple as that.

With the exception of Mad World, this album contains only the score from the film Donnie Darko. It does not include the great 80's tunes within the film. The score captures the haunting and mysterious essence of the film but does not make for great listening once detached from the picture in the way a score such as Gladiator does.

Suits the movie perfectly.
Having seen Donnie Darko many times before, I finally decided to invest in purchasing the score from Michael Andrews and upon doing so I am certainly not disappointed. Read more

Fantastic compliment to a fantastic film
For those looking to capture the emotion of such a great film, this score certainly achieves this. For anyone with an interest in filmmaking and/or sound tracking, this is a great... Read more

One more track would make it perfect...
I severely question the definition of this soundtrack/score as "easy listening" given above. Yes, I'll agree that calling it a "soundtrack" is a bit misleading but the score of... Read more

Sensational, but not the 'soundtrack' so to speak.
I'm afraid I have to start this review by saying that this is not really the soundtrack of Donnie Darko, it is the score added to it 'Mad World' by Gary Jules. Read more

The whole point of a soundtrack...
Contrary to the un-helpful reviews posted already, this soundtrack is brilliant, as is the movie. When you listen to it, you should feel as moved as the movie made you feel. Read more

Gorgeous, atmospheric music
Amazing stuff, great to work to - an awesome mix of the orchestral and electronic, tracks like "The Artifact and Living" are gorgeous and totally stand up as tracks on their own,... Read more

One song only
I bought this soundtrack a year or so ago to get a copy of Mad World by Gary Jules. That is a great version of a great song and worth the money alone. Read more
