Expanded original soundtrack from Tim Burton sci-fi fantasy drawn from series of trading cards, starring Jack Nicholson, Pierce Brosnan, Glen Close, many others. Danny Elfman offers incredibly energetic score. Harmonic vocabulary is as important as melodic shape. Interval of tritone plays big role as well. Aggressive, rhythmically regimented "Main Titles" a highlight. La-La Land CD offers original album contents plus treasure trove of previously unreleased material. Great liner notes by Dan Goldwasser provide fun details about production, insights into scoring process, more! Crisp, vibrant recording yet another big plus! Steve Bartek, Artie Kane conduct. Limited edition of 3000 units lands a knockout!
