Green Vinyl. This release gathers for the first time on vinyl the most famous musical themes from Tim Burton's movies. Most of them are composed by Tim Burton's favourite composer (Danny Elfman), and some by Howard Shore and Stephen Sondheim.

The songs are drawn from the cult film that launched Johnny Depp's career: "Edward Scissorhands", to his latest masterpiece: "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland".

The collaboration between Tim Burton and Danny Elfman is one of the most successful of Hollywood. This duo has allowed to convey this distinctive imagery created by the former Walt Disney cartoonist, who has become, today, the undisputed master of fantasy and strangeness.

Danny Elfman (also known for the famous Simpsons' generic/film credits) remains the

composer who, better than anyone, has been able to transcribe the universe both dark and

fairy of his favourite director. His music draws it's inspiration from Edgar Allan Poe's novel, German expressionism and from the Hammer's cult movies.

This vinyl offers an hour of music to immerse yourself into Tim Burton's phantasmagoric universe:

from the hypnotic and quirky theme of Willy Wonka (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) to the disturbing atmosphere of Gotham City (Batman). This album pays tribute to both Tim Burton's cinematographic work and Danny Elfman's musical genius.
