heme, with many moments of eccentric madness and dark humour, just like the visuals of the film. The score takes some effort to love, as you certainly have to be in the mood to sit down, listen intently, to get the most out of the compositions.All the same, a landmark score for action films, that works well for the film, and still remains lively when heard independently. The performance by The Sinfonia Of London Orchestra is among their best. Trav's Track : [18] Waltz To The Death : Elfman scores the most memorable musical moment of the film, with this comically, devilish waltz that sparkles with classical style.Batman marks a pinnacle in Danny Elfman's colorful career. The theme itself standing aside as one of the most recognizable and classic themes written. Utilizing every section of the orchestra, Eflman created a dark, humorous, and thrilling score to Burton's comic masterpiece.Though the tracks are curiously out of order. It doesn't harm your listening experience. "Kitchen, Surgery, Face-Off" shows off some of The Joker's twisted humor with a mock sounding circus motif near the close of the track. The hilarity is carried on into "Flowers" and "Clown Attack". One of the most intriguing and impressive tracks, "Decent Into Mystery" though sadly short, employs a very impressive chorus under the weight of the theme.*The closing tracks feature full hard-hitting action. "Attack Of The Batwing", "Up The Cathedral" and the very enjoyable mock waltz "Waltz To The Death". Nicely wrapping up with a powerful "Finale" and a reprise of the Batman theme. Easily one of Elfman's finest scores, it packs a punch with great thematic drive and that unique Elfman sound.
