5.0 out of 5 stars Please meet David Arnold, November 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The World Is Not Enough (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) (Audio CD)

Please meet David Arnold. A combination of John Barry and Bernard Herrmann, which adds a techno-electronical touch to the music. Certainly the composer to bring Bond into the new millennium, and certainly one of the most talented composers. May he stay with us and Bond for a long long time.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Bond for the times., November 30, 1999

This review is from: The World Is Not Enough (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) (Audio CD)

I believe what makes a great score is if it fits coherently with the film, and if it can stand on its own as music without visuals. True, John Barry is probably the first and foremost composer for any Bond film, but just like Desmond Llewelyn's Q in TWINE, a much needed replacement is made to create a James Bond for our time. Let's face it, who wants to see Llewelyn's Q go and be replaced by John Cleese's R? Sure he's funny but he's no Q. Yet with this kind of mentality, we can't really make Bond live for 19 more outings. Sometimes, we have to give the newcomers a chance to bring forth their creativity to liven a dying franchise. That's why I think David Arnold's score for both the TND and TWINE bring back John Barry's feel without really ripping him off. One, Arnold knows when to use certain instruments to heighten any scene (the use of the famous guitar twang in the theme is brought up very scarcely in the score for TND but when it does, it actually makes the scene exciting, and the score exciting as well.) Two, Arnold has brought back the sauve, sultry song stylings to the title tracks. And the theme song to TWINE is a great homage to Shirley Bassie, LuLu, and Carly Simon, and who better to perform the track than "Garbage?" I have to admit, after Eric Serra's terribly bland score for "GoldenEye," David Arnold is probably the next best thing to John Barry when it comes to scoring Bond Films.

As for Brosnan, I think he's pretty good. (To name the best would just spew forth an endless debate.) At least I don't laugh when he actually says his name is "Bond. James Bond." It's just a man saying his name. And when he orders that Martini, I actually see a man just ordering a drink. Brosnan has actually made Bond a human being, and that's not an easy task because it can come off as laziness. Besides, even Lazenby himself agreed that Brosnan's Bond can knock a better punch.

3.0 out of 5 stars Worth it for the Scott Walker track...., August 13, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The World Is Not Enough (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) (Audio CD)

It's nice to see Scott Walker hit the mainstream (sort of) again! His "Only Myself To Blame" (left out of the movie...bummer) is far and away the best track on the CD. The rest of the music is just OK soundtrack music. Buy it for the Walker track.
