5.0 out of 5 stars A Much Different and Innovative James Bond Soundtrack, October 11, 2005

By

This review is from: GoldenEye (Audio CD)

If anything positive can be said about Eric Serra's score for this James Bond film it undeniably is innovative and absolutely different from any of the previous scores. The score is pensive and brooding and seems to fit the intention of the mood that the film's director wanted. The disappointment here is that Eric Serra just does not handle the James Bond Theme in a conventional or traditional fashion. Being objective, I think the rest of the score is actually good.

I love the sounds of this cd but its missing a lot of tracks.It stinks.Especially the beginning part down the gun barrel and the track in the streets, its not the same as in the movie.They need to make a new cd with every single piece of music in the movie.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: GoldenEye (Audio CD)

I really don't understand any less-than-pleased reviews for the Goldeneye Soundtrack. Yes, if you are looking for John Barry's sweeping orchestral themes you WON'T find it here - you can find it on the other dozens of Bond films before Goldeneye. Although there are some very beautiful orchestral arrangements, the orchestral 007 theme is absent. And for good reasons: A) John Barry didn't score this, and B) this is 1995 and the brilliant Eric Sierra scored it. The songs alternate between romantic orchestrals and brooding electronics. The mixture works; it's lush and intoxicating. Sierra has done a terrific job of creating a Bond score with an electronic pallet. He gives you the same mystery, thrills, and eroticism as an old orchestral score would, except with newer, bolder, more interesting sounds. The best examples are "The Goldeneye Overture", which is probably the best track on the album and is both Bond-sounding and unique enough to stand on it's own. A somewhat-remix appears on track 14. "Ladies First" is probably the strongest example of his electro-techno style. It's quirky but fun. "A Little Suprise For You" is another great song. Sierra's willingness to experiment with sounds gives it a unique feel that perfectly exudes the dark unsteady, mysterious landsape of post-cold war Russia. The album ends with an atmosphereic love song with Eric on vocals. It's mushy soft rock, but it's a nice, woozy sedative conclusion to the record.

What isn't as good are the technical details: the remastering should have had tons bonus tracks as the other JB movie scores have had, because there are many, many peices from the film that are missing here (ironically one of them is the orchestral 007 theme from the tank chase).

NOTE: anyone remember the pumped-up 007 theme used for the terrific Goldeneye theatrical trailers? I don't know whether it was Sierra or not, but it's certainly a Goldeneye-era song and is now INCLUDED on the latest Best of Bond compilation as the last track. They should have thrown it on here instead, but alas they didn't.

If you liked the movie, you should like this soundtrack because the music was intertwined with the images: it ebbed and flowed with the rse and fall of tension. If you like some fine electro-techno scoring, you'll also enjoy this. Lastly, Eric Sierra fans will enjoy this perhaps the most. You don't have to see the film to enjoy the soundtrack, either. Though some of the songs are too brief, it's strong enough material that it works fine alone.
