Did you ever actually make a complete Elfman walkthrough?
Yes, a few times in the past. But it’s been a long time.
I can certainly understand your misgivings. It’s a challenge to go through any composer’s work when you have a lot from them. I got a bit of ‘fatigue’ while going through my Delerue collection awhile back, for example. He’s so great, but in smaller doses.
Elfman has fallen a bit in my estimation, but I kinda look forward to exploring him again, from start to finish. But first….a loooot of Williams.
Did you ever try a systematic composer walkthrough?
