Music reviews of Batman: Expanded Archival Collection
Music Review: THE EDITION WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR...FOR 20 YEARS!
Rating: 5 Stars
I've been wanting this complete, full-length version of Danny Elfman's best score (IMHO)from 1989 for over 20 years, and have been rather patiently waiting, and very plentifully satisfied. This score to me is on par with Mr. John Willams' forever Classic SUPERMAN score; and is to Danny Elfman's legacy what STAR WARS is to Mr. Williams'. In fact, I've always considered it a high-praise compliment to think this score is very "Williams-esque". La-La Land Records did such an excellent job on culling the different masters to create a very unified work. The sound of the mastering of the film version score is better than any other version of the music I've heard, including in the movie theater. The remaster of the 1989 LP sounds very good as well. For the most part, the film's score is punchier and more dramatic than the original album version, which is what many of us already knew/suspected. I'm glad Mr. Elfman gave La La Land the go-ahead to release the complete version. The liner notes are excellent, detailing the music for each scene in the film, as well the discrepancies between the two recorded versions. Finally, we get the bonus pieces of music never-before-available; all of which are interesting, and enhance the experience. I love the fact that the inside of the CD depicts my favorite scene from the film: The Bat crashing through the sky window of the art museum. Classic scene...Classic image...
Buy it, and get steeped in Gotham City, and its great Gothic score masterpiece. This CD re-release is a treasure that's just as sweet and powerful as it was 21 years ago in the Summer of '89. Happy listening, audiophiles!
