Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

This ensemble, which specializes in film-score covers, revisits Bond in a roster that spans from Dr. No to Diamonds Are Forever. The focus is mostly on previously unreleased scores and action cues assembled into suites. The style, while grand and reverential, has the lackluster quality often inherent in semiclassical approaches to orchestral pop. The collection does shine occasionally, thanks mostly to the counterpoint of electronic keyboards and guitar touches that include Vic Flick--the man who provided the original surf licks on the familiar "James Bond Theme." The highlight is a nicely arranged and crisply engineered main theme to From Russia with Love. The liner notes also provide some useful information about how John Barry's style had evolved with each movie. --Joseph Lanza

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice Effort, But...., January 14, 2000
By G M. Stathis (cedar city, utah USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Nic Raine, The City of Prague Philharmonic, and Silva Records must be applauded for their efforts to recreate not just the Bond sounds, but much of the music of John Barry in earlier recordings. "Bond Back in Action" is itself a good idea, especially the inclusion of previously unrecorded parts of the early Bond scores. The down side is the unavoidable feeling one gets listening to this music..."I wish these were the original cuts, and I wish John Barry was conducting." Even with the best of these recordings, something is missing...Barry, himself. Sadly, most of the unreleased music is still in existence, and John Barry is still with us. It would be delightful if Barry would produce, or record an album of unreleased Bond music, along with some of the missing recordings of other music (the original scores to "Mary Queen of Scots" and "The Last Valley," come to mind). In the meantime, Raine's interpretations will have to do.

4.0 out of 5 stars Long Awaited Cues, December 15, 1999
By A Customer
After years of waiting for some of the unreleased material from the Bond films, this CD has them. The suite from Dr. No has the tarantula music and the death of Dr. No. From Russia With Love has The Zagreb Express cue. While Goldfinger and Thunderball offer similar themes from the CD's or the 30th anniv. collection, the cues sound great. You Only Live Twice has some new cues in addition to some old ones. But the highlight of the CD are the suites from OHMSS. They include Gumbolds Safe, Meeting "the girls", and the ski chase music. Diamonds Are Forever has some new Wint and Kidd cues. All and all a very satisfying release for Bond music fans.

4.0 out of 5 stars The tracks are not enough, January 11, 2000
By Leo R. (i Paesi Bassi) - See all my reviews
I have some mixed feelings about this cd. On one hand it brings us some of the best film music ever made, and some quintessential tracks which were previously unreleased. The main drawback is that, as the original sheet music form the 60ies were lost, conductor Nic Raine had to write them all over again. That's were the problems arise. The suites from From Russia with love to You only live twice are flawed all over (esp. tracks 3,6,9 and 12) with notes to high and poor timing. For these, stick to the original recordings. Still, the bits from Dr.No, OHMSS, and Diamonds are forever provide stunning music, leaving you flabbergasted why it was not on the soundtrack album. `Gumbold's safe break' is a master piece. My advice: rumors are the 007 soundtracks are going to be rereleased containing the missing tracks. Wait for these, or in the mean time this is a nice spoiler.
