Free Music Review: A treasure chest of pop gems and a classic film score
Hit: 5 Stars

I saw "Big Fish" earlier this winter and loved the film. Tim Burton once again created a whimsical world of fantasy within reality. Next to the vibrant colors and incredible cinematography, the music also played a big role in the film. I am not a Pearl Jam fan, never have been, never will be but I just adored "Man of the Hour" which closed the film. I'm not really a fan of classic rock music either but I always loved The Allman Brothers Band's "Ramblin' Man". I remember first hearing Buddy Holly's "Everyday" in the classic film "Stand By Me". I always loved that song as well. When it comes to film scores, Danny Elfman is one of the most brilliant film composers in modern cinematic history. His work in "Big Fish" was incredible to say the very least. The intricate melodies took me back to the film. If you're expecting to find Peter Gabriel's "Solsbury Hill" like in the film trailer for the movie, then you are going to be in for a big disappointment. The song is not on the soundtrack. And if that is the reason for wanting the soundtrack to "Big Fish", then you are missing out on a gem of a cd, if not the point of buying this delightful cd. The music throughout the film was wonderful. Who cares if "Solsbury Hill" wasn't on the soundtrack? As big fan of soundtracks, "Big Fish" is a real treasure.

Big Fish [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack] Poster

MUSIC BY Danny Elfman. Sony.
Director Tim Burton's adaptation of author Daniel Wallace's bittersweet Southern Gothic novel has been billed as his first mainstream character drama, a notion that conveniently ignores the story's inherent fables and flights of imagination. But composer Danny Elfman understands their every dark nook and murky cranny with this magical, often deftly understated score. While the epic melodrama of his comic book scores (Batman, Spider-Man, The Hulk, et. al.) have made him a mainstream Hollywood music star, longtime fans know that the composer's true emotional range is seldom tapped as well as it is working with longtime collaborator Burton. His music here bridges the delicate pastoralism of Rachel Portman and restless, rhythmic mysteries of Thomas Newman, seasoned with twangy fiddles and bowings to the film's occasionally Gothic turns and concludes with the deliciously loopy "Twice the Love (Siamese Twins Song)." Anchored by Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam's wistful theme song "Man of the Hour" and a half-dozen pop chart nuggets than span half-a-century, Elfman's work here (as well as Pearl Jam's) received a much-deserved Golden Globe nomination. --Jerry McCulley
