wonder how many times threads get repeated...and repeated...and repeated...

what next?

If you could make emancipation a single disc thread?

I like it. I don't consider it one of his best or worst. Middle of the pack. Solid album.

my bad...dude is only 16

sorry!

good album but overall viewed as a bit shit compared what he had released previously

and everyone to this day cant believe lemon crush/trust/orion was on there instead of 200 balloons or dance with the devil

oh and yes yes..SNL electric chair perf is brilliant

Nope--let's make a Batman triple disc thread!!!

We'll expand it, for songs for the next two Batman films--Batman and Robin can just play Jughead through the whole thing, so it doesn't need anything.

I think I posted something real on a similar thread. But if not--I like it. I honestly don't get the hate for "The Arms of Orion"--I like the instrumental extensions of the Scandalous Sex Suite better than the album version--I love Electric Chair--Partyman is just okay. The Future is okay. Vicki Waiting always pleases me--what's the deal with the longer version that started making the rounds a couple of years ago? Trust--I actually like it better than Baby, I'm a Star, which it apparently replaced in early production of the film. Lemon Crush is I think a fine little song. Batdance... I got no problem with it. Lots of different Princes in one track, even if I remain amazed that it was a hit (and I know it was probably just the whole Bat-phenomenon that accounts for that).

I also have got to say that the thread linking to that synopsis of the film based only on the Prince album is worth looking at if you haven't yet. Fun stuff.

I have tried, but it contains probably his worst ever single release..

"The Arms Of Orion"

To me, it kills the album stone dead after the promising opening of the first two cuts.

The Batman sountrack is an excellent and superb gem! Although it is labled a soundtrack it really is a strong album with a vast amount of great songs and classic tracks. I love the good vs evil, light vs. dark themes scattered throughout the record amoungst the funky and fun tracks like Partyman, Trust and Batdance. I can listen to Prince's "Batman" over and over and still get the same thrill I felt back in '89 when it was released. I also love all the 12" mixes and bsides and the videos! Long Live the Purple Bat! P.S. I'm jamming the 12" mix of Trust now!!

Sorry, no love here. I hate it with a passion!

Huh?

Is there? You said you were jamming to it--jony isn't sure there is one. I don't know. I see from PrinceVault that there was a limited 12" available, but is it a different mix, or just the album version?

It's a middle of the road album. Not his worst and certainly not his best. Though 'The Future' is one of my favourites.

I loved it in 1989 but nowadays, it doesn't move me the way it did back then.But I still love "The Future" and "Batdance"...those songs kick ass!

I also like "The Arms Of Orion" yeah,I know it's sappy and schmaltzy but I like it anyway,lol

I adore The Arms Of Orion. It's a gorgeous song and absolutely love Prince's vocals in the song. Very humble and sweet and he and Sheena compliment each other quite well. To me the song is not cheesy. For me it's a beautiful love song with a mature and whimsical sound and feel. Love it!

Yep, pretty much how I feel. I like the interplay of the voices, I love when he drops into the low voice. I don't care much for some of the instrumental synth stuff toward the end, but the song as a whole is very nice.

Yes there are mixes of Trust. With the exception of the album vetsion, they are all mixed by Shep Pettibone and are as follows. 1. Trust - Album version 4:23 2. Trust - 12" Extended Remix 8:14 3. Trust - w/ intro hand clap 4:18 4. Trust - New vocal eq mix 4:17 5. Trust - 12" Dub version I have the "promo" (boot) CD single. From what I recall and please correct me if I'm wrong, the mixes were completed and ready for release as next single but it never made it. The cd single is in a card sleeve with photo of Prince on cover at the boards in studio during Batman period and all song info on back. It's obviously not official...it's labled on back as "promo". I love the 12" extended mix! It's fun, energetic and infectious. It has the feel of La, La, La Hee, Hee, Hee, The Partyman mixes and extended mix of The Latest Fashion. It's quite a jam. I wish it was officially released. [Edited 7/30/13 17:36pm]
