Moonraker CD
Music by John Barry 1979
Pris: 298:- US : $29
Nr : 007- 20110
THE ORGINAL SOUNDTRACK
Moonraker: 1979
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1979 Film)
[SOUNDTRACK]
James Bond Films (Related Recordings), John Barry
This is probably the most relaxing James Bond score to
listen to. There are many beautiful melodies on this CD,
with John Barry's usual excellent use of harmony.
Clearly, the expansiveness of space has been captured in
the music and there is an inspired use of choirs in some
of the tracks, which contributes to the ethereal quality
of the score.
I personally think the title song is very good, with a
haunting and evocative melody. Shirley Bassey does the
tune justice, for her third and, so far, final Bond theme
tune. The title song also has a highly enjoyable 'funked
up' 70's era arrangement at the end of the CD, reflecting
the Disco in which the score was written.
The score also features John Barry's energetic '007
theme', which has featured thus far in 'From Russia With
Love', 'Thunderball', and 'Diamonds are Forever'.
The only drawback of this CD was the the complete lack of
the James Bond theme in the score, something as a James
Bond score collector I always look out for!

For Your Eyes Only CD
Music by Bill Conti 1981
Pris: 298:- US : $29
Nr :
007- 20120
THE ORGINAL SOUNDTRACK
For Your Eyes Only: 1981(1981 Film) [ORIGINAL RECORDING
REMASTERED] [EXTRA TRACKS] [SOUNDTRACK]
Bill Conti, James Bond Films (Related Recordings)
This CD release appends seven 'bonus tracks' of music not
previously released on the original 1981 LP. But since
the LP release already contained the best of the music
from the movie, do not expect any real treasures in the
added material. The 'bonus tracks' are excellent for
providing a complete soundtrack, though they are mostly
compilations of brief or slower pieces of incidental
music.
Several interesting items about this album: A typo in the
labeling of this CD release lists two track 3's and no
track 5. The original LP release also was victim of a
typo. The track described as "Gonzales Takes A
Drive" was supposed to have been "Gonzales
Takes A Dive" - a play on words since Gonzales is
killed by Melina's arrow as he is diving into the pool.
That typo has perpetuated in the back cover labeling of
this CD release, but is corrected in the inside notes.
And finally, the track labeled "Melina's
Revenge" is really two pieces from the film. Only
the first 35 seconds of the track contain the dramatic
queue from the emotional closeup of Melina just after her
parents are killed. The remainder of the track is the
excellent action piece from the pre-credits helicopter
sequence, which likely would have been separately titled
"Have a Pleasant Fright."

THE ORGINAL SOUNDTRACK
Octopussy: 1983
Original MGM Motion Picture Soundtrack [Enhanced CD]
[SOUNDTRACK]
John Barry, Tim Rice, James Bond Films (Related
Recordings), Rita Coolidge
1983 Barry was back with Bond, he din´t to the score to
For Your Eyes Only.
I must begin saying that I have the original soundtrack,
so i have never hurd
songs nr. 3. 6. and 9., which are bonus on the CD:
This soundtrack is good. Real good.
When you listen to it, it reminds you about Barry´s work
for "From Russia With Love".
In those two soundtracks you have many dark and mystery
tunes, which work splendide.
In this album you also have a very good action-theme,
which you hear for the first
time on Track nr. 2: "009 gets the knife and Gobinda
attacks".
The theme returns in two more songs, "Yo-Yo fight
and death of Vijay" and "Palace Fight".
Good soft songs are Track nr. 8. "Bond at Monsoon
Palace"
and track nr. 10 "Bond meets Octopussy".
In Track nr. 13. works Barry very good with his
action-theme
together with James Bond Theme.
The three best songs: Track nr. 2 "Bond
look-alike" Track nr. 12 "The chase bomb
theme" and
Track nr. 13. "Palace Fight". A traditional
Barry score!

A View To Kill CD

Pris: 498:- US : $49
Nr : 007- 20130
THE ORGINAL SOUNDTRACK
A View To A Kill: 1985[IMPORT] [SOUNDTRACK]
John Barry, Duran Duran
Editorial Reviews
Album Description
Japanese edition of soundtrack to the 1985 Bond film.
15 tracks including Duran Duran's hit title track.
Album Details
Original soundtrack to the 1985 James Bond box office
smash.
Features the title track performed by Duran Duran, plus
three orchestral
reworkings of the main theme & eleven other tracks
This is a very hard to find CD. There are some really
exciting tracks. I can definitely see the effort that
John Barry put into this soundtrack. Tracks 1 & 15
feature the #1 hit title song: A VIEW TO A KILL sung by
Duran Duran, and tracks like: 2 (Snow Job), 8 (He's
Dangerous), & 14 (Golden Gate Fight) are great action
tracks. They have all the same music on them but set up
in different ways. Tracks 3,7,9,12 & 13 are great
suspenseful tracks, and tracks 4 and 10 feature beutiful
instrumental versions of A VIEW TO A KILL. The rest of
the tracks are good and help keep this soundtrack
together. All in all this is a great soundtrack, well
worth the money you have to pay to get it.

The Living Daylights CD
Music by John Barry 1987
Pris: 298:- US : $29
Nr : 007- 20140
THE ORGINAL SOUNDTRACK
The Living Daylights: 1987
Original MGM Motion Picture Soundtrack [Enhanced CD]
[SOUNDTRACK]
James Bond Films (Related Recordings), John Barry
The Living Daylights was the first of the Timothy Dalton
Bond
portrayals but the last of the John Barry scores.
Though the film marked the 25th anniversary of Bond's
cinematic prowess,
listeners can detect Barry's slumping enthusiasm for the
'80s 007 incarnation.
The assortment of recording artists accompanying Barry,
such as a-ha and the Pretenders,
may date the release, but the '80s synth pop sounds a bit
refreshing in the face of
today's heavier beats. Barry himself even uses several
synthesized rhythm tracks.
This disc includes almost a half hour of previously
unreleased tracks of
incidental music from the film, including a typically
exciting Bond pre-credits teaser theme.
The Living Daylights was John Barry's eleventh complete
score for the Bond series,
and the instantly recognizable Bond/Barry sound was given
a contemporary twist
through the use of synthesized rhythm tracks. The CD also
includes tracks by the Pretenders
and a-ha.Back on CD! Includes additional music!

Licence To Kill CD
Music by Michael Kamen 1989
Pris: 298:- US : $29
Nr :
007- 20150
THE ORGINAL SOUNDTRACK
Licence To Kill: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Album
[SOUNDTRACK] 1989
Michael Kamen mad here in Licence to Kill a good
soundtrack, using a very different style of music. There
are good scores in here like: Pam, James and Felix on
Thei Way To Church and Licence Revoked, the beautiful
title song by Gladys Knight and Dirty Love by Tim Feehan.
Kamen made his job as a composer and Licence to Kill
still is for a Collector!!!
In all honesty, I think this is one of the better bond
soundtracks there are. Most of them usually sound all the
same, but 'Licence To Kill' offers something different.
Michael Kamen of the 'Die Hard' and 'Lethal Weapon' fame,
amongst others, provides an exciting and hard hitting,
yet beautiful score mixed with various songs from the
film. Fans of the traditional bond style soundtracks may
find this a little different at first, but watch the film
a few times, give the CD a few listens and you'll love
this album, great for any music fan, a gem for the bond
fanatic.

Golden Eye CD
Music by Eric Serra 1995
Pris: 298:- US : $29
Nr :
007- 20160
THE ORGINAL SOUNDTRACK
GOLDENEYE: 1995
I love the soundtrack. Its very oringianl and suits the
film nicely. As GoldenEYE in its self was a highly
original film, of which why i liked it. Also i can watch
the film over and over again and listen to the score
Soundtrack over and over.
GoldenEye is one of my favourite soundtracks of all Bond
movies and I think Eric Serra's version of the James Bond
Theme on this CD is great.I have to say that I'm tired of
all these monotone Barry-soundtracks.Many
hardcore-Bondfans complain about the lack of the original
Bond theme on this soundtrack,but these people fail to
see that other earlier Bond-soundtracks didn't have the
007-Theme at all (for example Moonraker or Diamonds are
forever).And,if you should be honest: all great
Bond-soundtracks are not by John Barry (For your eyes
only,License to Kill,Tomorrow never dies,GoldenEye
etc).It's a pity that Eric Serra didn't do an entire new
version of the James Bond Theme,like Wings did it in Live
and let die.I think of GoldenEye as one of the greatest
Bond soundtracks ever although there's a lack of a real
action-track and that's why I give it "only"
four stars.

Tomorrow Never Dies CD

Pris: 298:- US : $29
Nr : 007- 20170
THE ORGINAL SOUNDTRACK
Tomorrow Never Dies: Music From The Motion
Picture [SOUNDTRACK] 1997
A great piece of work by David Arnold. His first Bond
soundtrack and he does a wonderful job. I really prefer
the soundtrack to the movie itself. The theme song is
just ok, "Surrender" is classic bond,
"Backseat Driver" is my favorite track,
"James Bond Theme" by Moby isn't that
impressive, and the rest of the soundtrack is great,
Arnold does a good job in bringing Bond back to his
musical roots. Recommended.

The World is Not Enough CD
Music by David Arnold 1999
Pris: 298:- US : $29
Nr :
007- 20180
THE ORGINAL SOUNDTRACK
The World Is Not Enough: Music From The MGM Motion
Picture [SOUNDTRACK] 1999
First off I want to say that David Arnold has done a
magnificent job at capturing the spirit of 007 for the
new millenium. His blend of traditional Bondian jazz
blended in with techno is perfect. This is very similar
to what John Barry did for THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS
sountrack. Unlike Eric Serra (GOLDENEYE) he stays in
familiar territory instead of going somewhere totally new
and foriegn. As for Garbage's title track, WOW. This song
also captures the spirit of the great title songs with
excellent lyrics, vocales, and instrumentals.
The soundtrack album has one major flaw.... missing cues.
While I was satified with the amount of coverage the
soundtrack album had (unlike TOMORROW NEVER DIES which
left out the entire second half of the film), I was upset
that essentials like the gunbarrel cue and the entire end
title track (which sounded awesome) did not make the CD.
Someone needs to let the producers of these soundtrack
albums to make the entire CD complete.
Personally I think that this is one of the best James
Bond scores ever written and rank it with great
contempary John Barry scores like THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS. I
hope that for BOND 20....... DAVID ARNOLD WILL RETURN...
