Nightmare is definitely a great soundtrack. Not only does Danny get the character spot on but he gets to do the vocal performance. Truly awesome.
Of his new stuff I'd have to say that one of my favorites has been from Red Dragon. I was surprised that he did the music. It didn't stand out and say "hey this is a Danny Elfman score" like some of the other movies mentioned above. Red Dragon had all the great character melodies that helped to create the mood and atmosphere of the movie but the music never intruded. Sometimes I find myself watching a movie that Danny Elfman has done and find myself listening more to the movie than watching the film. I'm not sure if thats a compliment to Danny or an insult to the director for not keeping my attention better. The music to Red Dragon help make the movie whole without detracting from what is being displayed on screen.
