From MS press release, in my mailbox:"Microsoft Game Studios announced today that composer Danny Elfman has composed the theme for the upcoming Xbox roleplaying adventure Fable. He worked with a hand-picked orchestra and recording team to produce a magical theme in full 5.1 Surround Sound."
Best regards,
Joe

According to music4games.net, in an interview with Nile Rodgers, founder/owner of Sumthing Else Music Works, there is a soundtrack for FABLE scheduled for early this year. The composer is Russell Shaw and the main theme is composed by Danny Elfman.

I don't play video games very much, but I enjoyed this one, and a good deal of it owes to the music.If this says anything, when I first played the game, I was almost convinced that Elfman had written more music for the game than just the main theme, which is a fantasy extension of his Spiderman theme.
I will gladly purchase this album, and if sequenced right, I think it will make a fine stand-alone listen. I hope someone will point out on the message board when this is released.

I still need to play this game simply for the music alone? How does it sound? Can it be compared to another game score or another Elfman score?

So far I haven't found any clips of Shaw's score, but this site has a snippet of Elfman's theme:
