Danny Elfman, in MY opinion, was the perfect choice to score the new version of The Planet of the Apes. Why? Because his style fits this kind of film. He uses many different horns. I can't recall hearing a score that uses this much brass in a long time. He also uses a choir and the a synth, similarly heard in Proof of Life. I just love the theme for the Apes. "Rule The Planet Remix" by Paul Oakenfold is just perfect for the album. I just like how the track plays out and completes the album. The only complaint I have is that the entire 75 minutes of score is not on the album. I have played Batman and others by Elfman and will be listening to the Planet of the Apes for a very long time to come.
