Donnie Darko soundtrack to get coloured vinyl repress

Mad world.

Michael Andrews’ score to 2001 cult classic Donnie Darko is to get a limited repress on green marble vinyl.

Reissued in 2012 by Death Waltz, the soundtrack continues to be one of the most iconic, with Andrews playing practically every instrument on the recording, from piano, organ and mellotron, to mini marimba, xylophone and ukulele.

However, the Donnie Darko soundtrack is perhaps best remembered for Andrews’ haunting cover of Tears For Fears’ 1982 track ‘Mad World’, recorded with friend Gary Jules.

Limited to just 300 copies, the new edition is available to pre-order now from Newbury Comics ahead of its release on 14th October.
