Product Description

From Amazon.com

Those more familiar with Danny Elfman's gothic Batman scores, or the often dark whimsy of his other collaborations with director Tim Burton (Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Mars Attacks!) may find Elfman's work on Sam Raimi's fine, understated moral thriller A Simple Plan to be nothing short of a revelation. A mature, masterfully evocative exercise in shading and subtlety, Elfman's Plan music breaks new ground for the composer, seeming closer in tone and spirit to Thomas Newman's fine '90s work (especially the Oscar-nominated Unstrung Heroes). It's an exercise in delicate, minor-key moodiness, delivered by a small wind and string ensemble and decorated with brief, quirkily effective percussive motifs, that's ultimately a seeming contradiction: sadly pastoral. Bluesy, roadhouse romps by the Imperial Crowns, Jolene, and Tina & the B-Sides gratifyingly fill out the set, instead of dominating it as is the case with many soundtracks. --Jerry McCulley

4.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable break from the Elfman norm..., 27 Nov 2001
I discovered this one by accident and found it very difficult to believe Elfman wrote it. His dark, grandiose, profoundly gothic scores for two 'Batman' films, and others, notably 'Sleepy Hollow', have defined his style, only for this to redefine it completely. Full of light and shade, subtle contrast, interesting instrumentation, and very atmospheric, this score is unusually, and refreshingly understated, almost experimental in nature in places, and whilst only a short half hour of music was selected for the album, this is a very worth while listen.

The songs included here are well selected, good quality fun, and dont take centre-stage as is so often the case.

If your expecting typical Elfman, youll be very disappointed, but approach with an open mind, and you may be pleasantly surprised.
