Edward Scissorhands - Soundtrack

By the turn of the 1990s, Tim Burton had already sealed his credentials as an imaginative and quirky director with films like Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, Beetlejuice and Batman. Therefore it was only to be expected that his next film would be equally quirky and dark, and that it certainly was. Starring Johnny Depp along with Winona Ryder, Dianne Wiest, and Anthony Michael Hall, with Vincent Price as "The Inventor," Edward Scissorhands is a fairy tale-like fantasy about a strange artificial man with scissors for hands. From his lofty castle on top of a hill, he is whisked away by an Avon cosmetic’s saleswoman straight into the bright suburbs, where he is greeted with interest and ...

Edward Scissorhands - Soundtrack

'Edward Scissorhands' is a film I love more than almost any other. A monument to the struggles of non-conformists everywhere. And Winona Ryder's stunning. But does the score evoke this classic on its own? Yes it does. It's that simple. Listening to the soundtrack, you realise just how much Danny Elfman's magnificent job added to the film's already potent atmosphere. Of course, you might be forgiven for experiencing a sense of deja vu with this CD. Elfman re-cycled bits and pieces from this score for Tim Burton's two Batman films, and indeed most of his recent output. Most recognisable are Catwoman's theme and the opening twinkly bits which were later to accompany the ...

the opportunity. The musical duties were divided between Elfman, whose score would fill about 80% of the film, and Prince, who wrote a number of songs to be used at Various points in the film as background music or more prominently during few sequences (like the art museum scene and the money-parade scene). With Prince taking care of the song-part of the movie, Elfman would employ the use of a large symphony orchestra of gothic proportions to create the dramatic, comic book-like over-the-top feel of Gotham City and it s dark hero. While still lacking the kind of experience inherent with older composers, Elfman more than compensates this with keeping the energy level high ...
