Haven't checked it out (or the movie), but being a BIG fan of Debney, I will definitely check it out! "Elf," is one of my all-time favorite scores, Christmas or otherwise, and you should check out his work on the new Home Alone movie ("Home Sweet Home Alone") - solid re-imagining of Williams' main themes, while still being coherent and breathing some new life by mixing up them up a bit / mashing them. Thanks! Definitely worth checking out as a Debney fan. I still can't get the main theme out of my head. I've tried burning it out of my head with AC/DC and every annoying song I can think of (like Gangnam Style). Clifford still pops back. The orchestrations are excellent and make it even more fun and interesting. I hope Debney recycles the main theme for another movie and fleshes it out into a longer 3-4 minute track. Doug mentions all of the highlights accurately on the Intrada website. I just got the expanded Elf CD in the mail this week and have been listening to it a lot. It is also one of my all-time favorites. I watched the new Home Alone movie, but have yet to listen to the score. It's on my list in Apple Music (John Williams' Home Alone being another all-time favorite score). With most of the all-time greats being gone or partially retired, I think John Debney is probably the most consistent composer out there. A lot of his scores could be considered generic, but they are never bad. He always throws in a good, infectoius theme. I like any of his guitar heavy tracks as well.

I'd like to acknowledge (and apologize for) a "Big Red" error on Intrada's back tray: The total time is NOT 78 minutes. It is actually 60:21. The root cause was writing over an earlier file and not updating that detail. I wish we had caught it in the proofing process, but we did not. We are certainly sorry for any confusion! Rest assured our Quality Control Gremlins are being sufficiently punished!

I'm also a Debney fan and very much enjoyed CLIFFORD. Intrada has my order! JINGLE JANGLE was a favorite from last Christmas. Cheers
