Recently I got my hands on a fresh copy of the brand-new BATMAN: MASK OF THE PHANTASM Movie Soundtrack Limited Edition CD & I've been listening to it the last few days. Oh my GOD, it's AWESOME! We reported this new product here awhile back & the response has been pretty good. For those that missed it here's some basic information: La-La Land Records, the company that brought you the BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES CD SET a few months ago, has now released a new version of Shirley Walker's 1993 BATMAN: MASK OF THE PHANTASM Movie Soundtrack. It's available now ONLY AT their website ( link button down below ). Remastered and expanded, ( more than 27 minutes longer than the original CD release ), this is the definitive version of Shirley's amazing score! It features two bonus tracks & comes with a 12-page CD booklet that includes exclusive, in-depth liner notes. This is a Limited Edition of only 3000 units & I expect the thing to totally sell out like the B:TAS one did. The photos you see here are some I took late last night & it shows the front, the back, the insides ( with & without the CD ), & the CD itself. The booklet has some interesting trivia about the film & some neat graphics. Speaking of graphics I really like the picture of "Batman hitting The Joker with all the Playing Cards flying around" that you get to see when you remove the CD from it's case...kinda neat. But, the main thing is the music & on this special CD the quality is extremely excellent, very well done. If you click on the "Music Button" down below you can hear a small clip of the Main Title. Now, the soundtrack to this film as been released before but it didn't feature ALL the music fro the movie. This one does, it's great & I can very highly reccommend it for ANY Batman Fan!
For people who have been reading the Bat-Blog for awhile you might remember a few months ago we introduced a new Batman product from La-La Land Records that was a special 2-CD set featuring the music soundtrack from the BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES TV Show. Well, that CD was a total success ( I think it totally sold out! ) & now La-La Land Records plans on releasing another Batman-related CD titled BATMAN: MASK OF THE PHANTASM. This, of course, was the animated film featuring the characters from the TV series. Back when this movie came out it was a complete smash hit & has now become a cult classic among fans of both Batman & animation. It was a really great film! Well, next Tuesday, at 12pm PST, La-La Land Records will start taking orders on the La-La Land website for this brand-new Limited Edition CD... Shirley Walker's complete score to the feature film BATMAN: MASK OF THE PHANTASM. Completely remastered and more than 27 minutes longer than the original CD release, this is the definitive version of Shirley's complete, amazing orchestral score. It will also contain a twenty page CD booklet that features in-depth liner notes! It will also be a Limited Edition of only 3000 units which means it will probably sell out like the others have. Please remember that you can only buy this product directly from the publisher & it will probably not be on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or other websites like that. Now, this is advance news from the Bat-Blog & the item is not featured on their website yet but you'll be able to see it there in a few days.( The release date is around March 24th, 2009 ). Here's a link to their website:
In honor of the 15th Anniversary of the now-classic BATMAN: MASK OF THE PHANTASM Animated Movie (1993-2008) I made this Background Wallpaper to brighten your desktop! Of course it uses the graphics from the cool vintage movie poster. If you're a serious Batman Fan & you have never seen this film then you really owe it to yourself to do so, it's GREAT! The animation is totally top-notch & is actually one of the best animated Batman movies out there. It's really one of my favorite Batman stories. I remember when it originally came out because I was pretty excited! It came out around the time that the much celebrated TV cartoon series was about to end & it was a very nice ending. It's got some very cool CGI computer animation blended in with the traditional artwork. But it's so seamless that, in most areas, you can't even tell. Plus, it sort of raised the bar a little in animation quality. Hmmm, thinking about how this movie is having it's 15th Year Anniversary is starting to make me feel kinda old, ha ha! It's been out now on DVD for quite awhile & is worthy of renting. So, think about it the next time you can't find anything to rent at the video store. Actually, it's worthy of owning, ha ha, here's a link:
