Prince - Batman (Motion Picture Soundtrack)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
AllMusic Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Prince had stumbled commercially with Lovesexy, which may be one of the
reasons he decided to record the soundtrack for Tim Burton's dark, gothic
interpretation of the DC comic Batman. Reportedly, the Batman album was
recorded quickly, and it shows in the loose, offhand nature of the songs,
which actually comes as some relief after the big ambitions of all of his records
since 1999. "The Future" and "Electric Chair" are fine, funky one-man efforts,
and "Vicki Waiting" is an excellent pure pop song, while "Arms of Orion" is
embarrassingly enjoyable sappy mainstream balladry and "Batdance" is a fun
dance-club pastiche of the entire album. Even with these highlights, there are
no true classics on the record, and it tends to evaporate in the memory after
it's finished -- there's no doubt it spent six weeks at the top of the charts
because of the blockbuster film. Still, Batman sounds fine while it's playing.
