Donnie Darko: Original Soundtrack & Score

~ Release by Various Artists (see all versions of this release, 10 available)

Annotation

Released as a single disc, and also as (disc 2) of the double cd release on Sanctuary UK (soundtrack & score) (→disc 1)

According to allmusic, "Mad World" was originally written by Roland Orzabal, adapted by Michael Andrews. Gary Jules performs vocals on the song, he is by no means credited as composer. Comments on Amazon entry confirm that as well: http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000X1K4M I quote (and translate from German): "Even TTF (Tears for Fears) mastermind Orzabal said in a radio interview, that he likes Andrews version more than his own".
