Hi

I absolutely LOVE the soundrack of Edward Scissorhands by Danny Elfman. In fact, I'm addicted to it; I listen to it all the time. I love the way it's quite gentle, whimsical and fairytale-ish, and in particular, all the "ooh-ahs" of the choir in the background.

What I would like to know is, which other Danny Elfman soundtracks am I most likely to enjoy? Which of them (if any) are most similar to Edward Scissorhands? OK, of course I could just watch the films, but without doing that, could anyone let me know which of his other music is Scissorhand-like.

Come to that, is there any music by any other composers which is in a similar vein and which would appeal to me?

I love the Edward Scissorhands music so much, and would love to find something else that's similar, and similarly good.

Thanks for any advice!

Corpse Bride? You should also check out the Nightmare before Christmas: not quite the same, but great music nonetheless...
I think the theme to the godawful "AI" is quite similar too...
