Intrada announces an expanded edition of Danny Elfman's 1990 score to Clive Barker's Nightbreed, which provided Elfman with the perfect opportunity to indulge in his first outright, gore-filled horror feature. As Elfman himself described his experience, "Nightbreed was great fun, and I loved working with Clive Barker. But it was a real difficult score, 75 minutes with a lot of different styles, very dense, difficult music that was very challenging. But as always, the harder it is the more I love it." Not only did Nightbreed mark Elfman's dive into a nightmarish fever dream, but it also marked his first significant use of world music in a film score. A South American pan flute, the shimmering beat of a Balinese gamelan and heated drumming all feature in this large orchestral work that is unique, but also clearly classic Danny Elfman. At the time of the film's release, a generous album was released on MCA Records. With the generous cooperation of Universal Music Group, Morgan Creek and Danny Elfman's team, Intrada was able to greatly expand the album into a 2-CD set. The first disc features the complete 75 minute score. The second features the original and carefully curated 46-mnute album Eflman assembled back in 1990, as well as a suite of alternates.
