The original soundtrack just featured the film's score and the brilliant Tears for Fears cover of "Mad World" done by the film's composer Michael Andrews and singer Gary Jules. The 2004 release saw the all-star soundtrack of Joy Division, New Order, Duran Duran, Oingo Boingo, INXS, Tears for Fears, Echo & the Bunnymen and more. The soundtrack takes the films dark undertones and much in which the era the film is based and enhances the color of each song and the story director and writer Richard Kelly wrote about a time traveler. Easily one of the greatest movie soundtracks of all-time for one of the best films of the last decade.
