Danny Elfman - The Nightmare Before Christmas OST (1993)
Holy shit, this soundtrack fucking rules.
I'm a huge Oingo Boingo fan, and all of Danny Elfman's creative chromaticism makes the transition flawlessly to soundtracks. Plus, this album has a longer shelf-life than most holiday albums, remaining relevant from October to December!
Highlights:
Fuck it, the whole album is a highlight.
I am filled with Halloween spirit!
(possessed, one might say).
If like version that just came out in the Burton / Elfman Music Box that came out recently. It's got about 30 minutes of extra goodness.
Hm...I'll have to check that out. Halloween might be tomorrow, but Christmas is still a way off, making this CD remain relevant!
