If this вЂњtrueвЂќ story of HITCHCOCK seems as fancifully sweet and lightweight as a Doris Day picture with a butcher knife (if still infinitely better than that PSYCHO redo), hearing Elfman work his Gothic kinks out once again is always reason to celebrate.ДЄndВ if the slashing strings of PSCYHO didnвЂ™t immediately identify Herrmann (with the shower scene music thankfully not repeated here), then the orchestral version of pianistвЂ™s Charles GounodвЂ™s вЂњFuneral March For A MarionetteвЂќ comes in second as the signature theme for ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS, a darkly droll piece thatвЂ™s wittily used to wrap the album up with. Florence Pugh stars in 'Midsommar.' A24 Metacritic Score: 86/100 'Midsommar' director Ari Aster listened to Bobby Krlic, aka the Haxan Cloak, as he was writing one of the most critically acclaimed horror movies of the year, and then asked the musician to score the finished product, culminating in a soundtrack as well-received as the film itself. The composer also takes particular delight at spinning HerrmannвЂ™s romantic, string-heavy sound into some interesting, and playfully modernistic directions that likely would have the composer turning about in his grave (though not as angrily as his wholesale appropriation for THE ARTIST likely did). ThereвЂ™s certainly darkness to be had in the alternately stormy, and subtle music for HitchвЂ™s creative possession by real psycho-killer Ed Gein, as well as his perceived marital woes with Alma- domestic tsuris that nicely recalls ElfmanвЂ™s score for the twisted mother-daughter relationship of DOLORES CLAIRBORNE. Pursuit of Happiness (Steve Aoki Dance Remix) has also been nominated for an 2012 MTV Award.

But as opposed to the menacing noir sound that Philip Miller painted for the filmmaker in the far more unforgiving HBO BIRDS making-of THE GIRL, Elfman musically sees HITCHCOCK in loveably Gothic terms, with an overall bright, bell-lined tonality that sees the cineaste as a droll prankster who thinks scaring his audience witless is the best trick of them all. Featuring cuts from Pitbull, Nas, Kid Cudi, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Now in supreme act of meta-composing, Elfman gets to go behind the curtains of the Bates Motel to musically unmask the вЂњrealвЂќ master of suspense and the tense production of his pet project, with a voice that echoes HerrmannвЂ™s as much as it does ElfmanвЂ™s own penchant for blackly ironic comedy.ДЇar more in the spirit of Tim Burton than Alfred Hitchcock, ElfmanвЂ™s peppy percussion and strings suggest a waltz macabre, or at least the ticking gears that are constantly whirring about in brilliantly warped imagination. If Gus Van SantвЂ™s near frame-for-frame modern recreation of PSCYHO ranks as one of the most unneeded and unnecessary remakes of a classic ever, at least it allowed Danny Elfman the opportunity to do a slavishly spot-on re-performance of Bernard HerrmannвЂ™s infamous score in the new film HITCHCOCK. Project X, for example, is a film that is seemingly designed to be enjoyed by the teenage boy crowd, despite being an.
