Christopher Lawrence 'Batman Begins' (CL Bootleg Remix)
Stumbled onto this on MySpace and like it very much, a bit different for Christopher Lawrence, more ethereal and dreamy than his normal sound. You can listen to the remix on the MySpace audio player (quality is poor though) and apparently his management is giving away 500 free downloads if you read his page. I am guessing that this remix won't ever be released because it is unlicensed??
Good but not great. I'm a big fan of the Batman Begins score much because of the amazing atmosphere Zimmer and Howard created, this bootleg thing from CL doesn't capture that atmosphere. The spooky rythmic sounds he uses in the intro (sampled from "Vespertilio") and the female vocals in the break are the only references to the BB score, and then of course the strings riff, but it's not really a unique BB-thing, there are similar-sounding or almost identical ones in many other film scores.

I quite like this.
I like the intro, and what i particulary like is them soaring spiritual like female vocals. The only thing that slightly puts me off is the string riff which you hear constantly throughout the track.
Perfectly put SMC. Its pretty ballsy to go after a score as beautiful and well done as Batman Begins, but nevertheless someone will do it. Also, CL looks like a damn cult leader in his my space picture.
