[Thor Joachim Haga]

Indeed, Eirik, your taste within the Elfman canon pretty much mirrors mine. Prefer the more alternative, downkey, “shimmering” indie scores in the last two decades, not that enthused with the noisy blockbuster stuff. My love of old-school Elfman still persists (meaning 80s up to the mid 90s), but I have to admit I’ve also outgrown it a little bit. So weirdly, even though I’m still a completist of his work (once you’ve started, it’s difficult to stop), Elfman has fallen JUST outside my top 10, after having had a secure second spot for decades.
