Missing Music 23 Nov 2002
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
Donnie Darko is an excellent movie, and the music in the film is excellent. Unfortunately, not all of it is on this CD. The Tears For Fears and Echo & The Bunnymen originals are not included; maybe they'll turn up on one of those "music inspired by..." CDs sometime later. The excellent cover version of "Mad World" is included, although the "remix" of it (just the same, plus inappropriate drum machine) - not featured in the film - is a waste of space. What many listeners will miss badly is the beautiful soprano melody which plays prominently through the arson scene and over the end credits - its omission seriously depletes the album. Apparently this piece is called "For Whom The Bell Tolls", and is by Steve Baker and Carmen Daye. Its criminal non-inclusion breaks my heart.

Donnie Darko is a great movie which relies in no small part on a fantastic soundtrack of that rarity known as an '80s classic' - Echo & The Bunnymen, Tears For Fears, and even (hilariously) Duran Duran.

So it's a shame that none of those are featured on the official soundtrack - I can only assume they couldn't afford to pay for the rights.

What you get instead is the original music from the movie - mood stuff (some quite sinister), nice melodies, and not one but THREE versions of the wonderful cover of Tears For Fears' Mad World that ends the film.

But for those of us who want those other tracks, it looks like we'll have to make our own compilation.

kind of spaced 26 Mar 2003
Format:Audio CD
"Don't you think it's kind of funny, don't you think its kind of sad, the dreams in which i'm dying are the best ive ever had..."

The closing scenes of the haunting and wondrous donnie darko are given even greater resonance by the stunning mad world, a cover of a Tears for fears song, the most beautiful song i have heard in a very long time and, unusually, far better than the original. Having to listen six times a day stuff, and i dont normally do that. Buy the soundtrack for that song.

Beyond that there are no other vocals, just slightly haunted background music from the score floating along rather melliflously in the background. Its the wrong kind of space out music, you get lost but you are always rather thinking about coming back again. You look up but never get there. Perhaps i've listened to it too many times when meant to be writing essays.

Although not on this CD i would also like to express my thanks to donnie darko for not only being the best film in recent memory but introucing me to my band of the moment, echo and the bunnymen!, via the killing moon, again utterly apt song for the film.

"...enlarging your world..." (but only at the end)

It's about the mood, the magic of Donnie Darko
I loved the movie, it's weird, it puts you in a strange place...

The CD does the same thing, only through music alone. For that, I think it is great. Read more
