3.Batman Returns: (Danny Elfman) Few audiences could
have expected director Tim Burton to produce a success of the magnitude
of the first Batman film in 1989.As such, the plot took on more of the style of
the original comics, replacing the serious edge of the first film with a
spirit of fantasy closer to Beetlejuice than Batman.The chorus used in
the first film was a mature, deep, adult one, assisting in identifying
Gotham City as a serious, gloomy, religious, and spiritual kind of haven
for the contrasts of good and evil.Scrooged and Nightbreed, and that gothic
image is deflated.In a few cases,
this combination worked, especially in the opening introduction to the
character's origins.Only in the finale of the film, from Selina Kyle's electrocution
through the very end (at which she is seen perched like Batman on a
rooftop), does her theme true mix in the middle tonal ranges with the
surrounding underscore.Elfman provides a ripping snare rhythm as compensation for the
cartoonish tragedy of their ascent, but in reality, that tragedy is not
convincing in such a carnival atmosphere.Lacking completely in the
score is the elegance of the thematic treatment for Bruce Wayne, and
this is yet another step backwards.He contemplative and troubled motifs
are absent.There are no flourishes of the title theme in the middle
portions Batman Returns that can compete with the original.Along these lines, incidentally, all discussion
about the influence of Bernard Herrmann on the original score goes out
the window with the sequel.And,
unfortunately, without the depth of the original ensemble's sound, this
alteration doesn't convince.The mix of the score is extremely dry by
comparison to Batman, reducing the effectiveness of the metallic
percussion particularly (what happened to the wicked combination of gong
and cymbal crashes that provided the first score with so much grace?Elfman and
the performing group Siouxsie and the Banchees for the costume ball
scene, is a highlight if only because it features a far more dynamic
range than the score.Elfman's changed direction with Batman
Returns suits the film well.There are
many pieces of Edward Scissorhands, Nightbreed, and other
popular early scores by Elfman in Batman Returns, and there is no
doubt that this music resided closer to the comfort level of the
composer.While significant in length, the cues
are left merged together without distinction, and with the track breaks
occurring at odd moments, the packaging offers absolutely no help in
distinguishing the cues.The listings provided below at Filmtracks have been expanded to
give a more accurate representation of the cues' placements.Even Elliot Goldenthal's Batman Forever, while
providing only a faint mutation of Elfman's title theme, better captures
the grand essence of Gotham and its hero.Music for a Darkened Theatre, Volume II.The reviews and notes contained on the filmtracks.My Alibi began as Jennifer Andreas solo act.Gaining a positive response My Alibi returned to open up metal fest, Gigantour, (Headliners Megadeath and Dream Theater).Afterwards the Shepherd Express reviewed them as very similar to Evanescence and the Onion reviewed them as a newer, harder verison of siouxsie and the banchees.With My Alibi's first look outside of the midwest, My Alibi continues to make an impact on the local scene, playing local bars, clubs and fests.Afterwards, the band played before Obituary and Blacklabel Society.Afterwards the Shepherd Express reviewed them as very similar to Evanescence and the Onion reviewed them as a newer, harder verison of siouxsie and the banchees.Either way, My Alibi got a great start and good opportunity to play Locobazooka, a popular metalfest of the east coast held in MA, (Headliners Alice in Chains and Wicked Wisdom).With My Alibi's first look outside of the midwest, My Alibi continues to make an impact on the local scene, playing local bars, clubs and fests.My Alibi is characterized as a heavy, dark, piano and bass driven, melodic female fronted rock band.JEN CHRISTESEN: Deceptive Cadence Vocals haunt and enchant over a duet between a delicate piano and a sorrowful violin.Girl In A Cage
