The Simpsons Movie: The Music

Former Ultravox/Buggles keyboardist and current Hollywood film bigshot Hans Zimmer gets the call to score the Simpsons Movie. Meanwhile, Alf Clausen-- longtime composer of all original music for "The Simpsons"-- has probably fired his agent.

It may not be a musical, but it is surely the soundtrack to a big-screen spectacular, meaning that the zany, zesty work of Alf Clausen has been traded in for the lush, symphonic touch of Hans Zimmer, who manages to retain enough of the spirit of the show but gives it a full-fledged widescreen makeover.
