I couldn't find any threads about this score. As far as I know, it's Elfman's ONLY completely electronic feature film score. It's quite industrial sounding, but does have some resonant piano keyboard moments to offset the cold sparse-sounding mood. It's a unique score in the Elfman canon and one I would like to hear opinions of from others here.

Damn! The search engine here baffles me! I checked the word 'WISDOM', plus about 6 pages of 'Danny Elfman' threads and also tried that google FSM trick, but....zilch! Well done Thor, you da Search Engine Man.

I entered this into Google and this thread and the other, came right up: site:filmscoremonthly.com Wisdon Elfman You put site: before a site you want to search. Words or phrases in quotation marks, like "Danny Elfman", and a minus symbol before terms you want excluded, like: -Elfman

Wisdom sounds like a great score. I have to buy the CD by the way...

I finally ordered the album, on vinyl. Will be my first (and last?) Elfman score.

First Breath, I know you like your scores heavily toasted on the synth side, so you should check out his recent score for THE CIRCLE. I imagine you will like it. Listening to the clips now. Sounding interesting. Cool that Elfman dives into electronic music again.

I finally ordered the album, on vinyl. Will be my first (and last?) Elfman score. About time! Vinyl sounds cool, although I've never been into that myself (not when it was popular, and not when it was re-popularized). I think I could mention a handful of Elfman albums and tracks that you would like; especially if you're into more pop and rock-oriented affairs and not just electronic. I bought the vinyl because it was a bit cheaper than CD. But that said, I'm starting to get quite a few vinyl soundtracks now. Most of them from discogs.com. Sure, I like pop/rock-stuff too. I also like The Next Three Days (and The Kingdom?) by Elfman. Plus the aforementioned The Circle.

Oh, that kind of 70s-inspired rock is not my thing. Sounds like The White Stripes or something.

Got the Wisdom LP, played through it once. It's really more of a minimalistic/percussive score than a melodic one, but it's a fine listening experience. The Main Titles is the best track, somewhat reminding me of The Brazilian by Genesis. For some reason, my Varese/Colloseum LP was published in 1988, two years after the movie.
