Do an Elaine Benes dance because we’re finally getting a Seinfeld soundtrack. Seinfeld Music Guy, otherwise known as composer, Jonathan Wolff has selected 33 of his favourite tracks from the NBC sitcom.
33 of Jonathan Wolff’s compositions will appear on the album, which will be released some time today. It’s a massive shortlisting effort from Wolff, given that the sitcom ran for a whopping 180 episodes.
Chatting to Variety about the soundtrack, Wolff explained how he managed to squeeze 180 episodes into a 33-track album.
“Was it the primary audio of a famous ‘Seinfeld’ scene? Did it contribute in a significant way to the comedy of the scene? And upon hearing it, will it serve as an instantly identifiable signature and bring warm fuzzies to a ‘Seinfeld’ fan who will remember that scene?”
The tracklisting is filled to the brim with nostalgia. ‘Kramer’s Boombox’, ‘Jerry vs Newman Chase’, and of course, ‘Waiting for the Verdict’ — taken from the series finale.
It closes with the very best though… ‘George’s Answering Machine’.
