I have a particular interest in film music, and I was very impressed with Angelo Badalamenti's ethereal score, which I have had the pleasure to listen to both throughout the film, and later on its own. My initial impressions of the film prepared me for a score in the vein of Elfman's work; the film fits his usually zany and off-beat work. Badalamenti takes a different approach and instead presents a darker score, claustrophobic in the style of Bernard Herrmann's early work -- most notably his "Day the Earth Stood Still". I truly enjoyed this work (some may remember Badalamenti's work from the "Twin Peaks" series), and found it entirely appropriate.
