One of Barry's top 5
Review date: 2007-03-13 Rating: 10 out of 10

Whatever your opinion of the Bond films, and whatever your opinion of Timothy Dalton (personally I thought he was good value, and while the film has faults, it remains a favourite) thesoundtracks were always of a high standard. Barry's Connery Bond scores and his one Lazenby score are uniformly excellent, each with a different style. For his Moore Bond scores though, the quality dipped somewhat. Not drastically, they just became les distinctive. For Timothy Daltons inaugural Bond though, Barry was re-fired up and produced what I, along with most others, consider one of his very best.

The score itself is a fine mix of orchestration and synths. Romantic violins and that instantly recognisable Barry brass meld nicely with remarkably undated (and not over-used) synthesizer motifs. There are in particular two motifs that run throughout that could be called Necros Theme and another called Karas Theme. These helped to create in the film one of the most romantic moods for a Bond film and also give the action sequences that extra edge.

This new release of the album though is even better than most other Bond score releases in that everything is here. No missing cues at all. Here we get included the complete and excellent 'gun barrel' sequence music followed straight away by the lead in to Daltons introduction music and an updated Bond action theme. Every incidental theme, no matter how subtle or minor in the film, is here.

As soundtracks go, this is one of the best. But as releases go, this is superb. Excellent and completem every Barry, Bond or just film score fan should own at least one copy.

My personal favourites are 'Exercise At Gibraltar', 'Necros Attacks', 'Hercules Takes Off', 'Inflight Fight' and The Pretenders 'If There Was A Man'

The Best Bond Score- without a doubt
Review date: 2006-02-13 Rating: 10 out of 10

This really is an impressive soundtrack. Barry got it absolutely spot on in all aspects.
His music complimented practically every scene of arguably one of the Best Bond films to date.
"Hercules takes off" and "Murder at the fair" are the most thought-provoking and compelling pieces- as well as "Ice chase" and "Inflight fight" which I think were created in order to compliment the new tougher and more serious Bond.
The score also takes into account cultural changes in the film- with an appreciation of the destinations Bond was led to on his adventure, such as Afghanistan. Track 10's a beautiful piece to listen to when you're in need of a moment's peace!

Before he died, Cubby Broccoli commented that he did not care for the A-ha's The Loving Daylight theme and hey would return to he ballad style of Bond songs. That sort of shocked me, when I read that, for I consider The Loving Daylights one of the top three - Tom Jones' Thunderball and Shirley Bassey's Goldfinger the other two. A-ha was he first Timothy Dalton string of Bond Film, so maybe that express some of Cubby's displeasure. While Dalton made a good boy, he was too tenderhearted for some.

This sound track, with all the beautiful John Barry music, rocks. The music is bright, incisive and sensual. Some sound tracks give you small cuts of music from the film, but this gives your wonderful full-length songs that just floats around you and lifts you up!

I use this soundtrack for my aerobics' work out. It is the perfect lengths and pace to do a complete workout. A-ha's song just gets the blood to pumping! It makes
the hour pass so fast and is fun.
