This is the part 2 of a now out of print limited edition UK CD single set. I saw Donnie Darko - The Director's Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition) for the first time over the summer and it quickly became one of my favorite movies of all time. One of the reasons it stuck with me so well was because of the song played at the end of the movie, "Mad World" by Gary Jules & Michael Andrews. It is one of the rare occurrence where the cover (this song was originally by Tears for Fears) was better than the original. The original didn't do much for me, but the version by Andrews & Jules is too breathtaking for words. Any who, I was doing research on the song and found that it went #1 in the UK. That was when it dawned on me: There's probably a CD Single that released. (I am a collector of CD singles).

I found this UK 2 Single set. The other CD, Mad World Pt.1 included the original from the movie, another song by Gary Jules, and then a version of Mad World with added percussion. The next CD (this one) included a club mix and a track from the Donnie Darko score, as well as a music video. Considering I already had the original as it was a bonus track on the Donnie Darko score CD and I'm a huge fan of club remixes, I ordered a used copy of part 2.

The remix is great. Now, I'm one of those people who argue that sometimes that a remix CAN out-due an original. This is not the case. The soundtrack version is still far superior. But this techno-styled mix is great nonetheless. The song from the score (The Artifact & Living) is amazing as well. The video is boring and nothing special. That said, fans of club music will enjoy this single, but fans of the original won't necessarily (as you can tell from the other reviews). So be sure and use the preview feature, or look up the remix on YouTube before ordering.

1. Mad World (Grayed Out Club Mix) - 6:45
2. The Artifact & Living (from the "Donnie Darko" score) - 2:27

Mad World 2 Poster

This record was first heard on the 2002 soundtrack 'Donnie Darko' & this release has been much awaited since then. Roland Orzabel who wrote 'Mad World' & had a hit with it in 'Tears For Fears' has said that this version is much better then the original. The vocals by Gary Jules compliment the haunting piano riffs beautifully & proves why it is a clear favorite on the soundtrack. Tracks, 'Mad World' (non-LP Frayed Out Mix), 'The Artifact & Living', & 'Mad World' (non-LP Video). Sanctuary. 2003.
