robthehand 3 Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 I just wondered.. it's available for £4.99 in HMV - and I confess - I've never seen the film or heard the score (the 1989 Elfman one). Should I get it? I've seen quite a few positive reviews.They've got quite a few good deals on there at the moment - AOTC and TPM OSTs for £2.99 each, and most other things for £4.99.

Todd 30 Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Make sure it's the score you're getting, and not the crappy PRINCE album....*shudders* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SturgisPodmore 0 Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Get Batman Returns while you're at it tooAh, "Birth of a Penguin - Part 1" is a joy to listen to . . . as is Celina's crazy scene (don't know the track title).~Sturgis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Coscina 3 Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Batman is a pretty great score. I have been going through a Elfman revival recently and Dick Tracy has some excellent writing in it too. I'm beginning to think that Elfman is a bit underrated considering his entire body of work.

robthehand 3 Posted August 28, 2005 Author Share Posted August 28, 2005 Yep, got it, listening to it now.Rob - who was puzzled when he saw two identical versions of the Attack of the Clones OST, one for £2.99 and the other for £15.99. Then I saw that the £15.99 one was the version WITHOUT the bonus track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olivier 5 Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 This surely accounts for the difference. Batman Returns is a quite underrated score; richer and more fun than the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker 5 Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Batman Returns is a boring album (for a boring movie). I like the first Elfman score and I love Goldenthal's Batman Forever score.Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkgyver 1,638 Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Get it! Now! Batman Returns suffers heavily from the terrible acoustics of the hall it was recorded in. Nevertheless, I still think the original Batman is not that much better than "Returns". The finale and the end titles are terrific.If you've absolutely got to have one of Goldenthal's efforts, get Batman & Robin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 2,924 Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Personally,I think if you have a "Batman Suite" from Elfman on a compilation c.d.,then you don't need the whole c.d.Batman Returns is good for the Main Titles.K.M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker 5 Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 If you've absolutely got to have one of Goldenthal's efforts, get Batman & Robin.Not possible, since a legit album was never released.Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjguitar 0 Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 I enjoy Goldenthal's Batman Forever score as well. Anyway, the best performance of Elfman's score (In my opinion) is the ~15 minute suite on the Erich Kunzel/Cincinatti Pops "Fantastic Journey" CD, even more than the OST. Theres also suites on Silva (The Fantasy Album) and Varese (Batman Trilogy)...but I prefer the telarc recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
