So apparently, Rhapsody.com just released the Bonus Tracks for The Dark Knight's score only yesterday, despite them having been available in the Collector's Edition since this past December.
Which only raises the question, "HOW DID I MISS THIS?!"
Okay, the majority of the bonus tracks are actually just the on-screen versions of Zimmer and Howard's compositions from the plain-vanilla album, but the last few tracks are the real kickers.
Featuring Electronica mainstays like The Crystal Method and Paul Van Dyk, the songs are "remixes" that use samples from the Original Score. It's not quite a mash-up, since the Dark Knight score was very synth-heavy in the first place, but the songs manage to be quite danceable while retaining the overall atmosphere that the score establishes. In fact, I liked it so much that I'm going to be featuring the tracks on next week's episode of The Tech Tree. Stay tuned!
