Album Review
A very entertaining disc of music drawn from the Bond film series (skipping the non-canon Casino Royale and Never Say Never Again, alas; Henry Mancini's cute title cut for Casino Royale would have been perfect for the Copp), with the cutoff being Goldeneye. There are several suites, numerous lush symphonic versions of songs, and two versions of the famous Bond theme, one of which should immediately be lifted by marching bands. The arrangements are generally interesting, though some listeners may find the periodic lounge orchestra sound to be a bit too mushy, even though much of the material lends itself to that. Overall, if you're looking for a somewhat different take on music from the Bond films, this is a package well worth acquiring.
Customer Reviews
007 at it's Best
This is an AMAZING cd that no Bond fan should be without! The music is already good originally but when it is orchestrated (yes, there are no vocals, just music) it is GREAT!!! Buy this album! You will not regret it! There are some songs that may confuse people like Octopussy, it is not All time High, actually it is 007 Look Alike and Palace Fight, from the soundtrack.
Bond... James Bond
A great collection of the very best instrumental music from all the Bond Movies. The whole thing is very well composed and makes for great listening.
Be Advised.... NOT ORIGINAL SCORES!!!
I wish that I had read the fine print.......it's MUZAK. Not the real deal.
