JAMES BOND FILMS SCORED BY JOHN BARRY

The list author says:
	"Actually, the score is by Monty Norman, but Barry received his first James Bond assignment arranging and conducting The James Bond Theme, with Vic Flick performing a classic riff on guitar."

The list author says:
	"The score that established the Bond sound, a mixture of brass, strings, guitar and pulsing bass lines. The use of cymbalums and gongs give the score an appropriately exotic feel."

The list author says:
	"A brassier Bond score, with the classic theme song sung by Shirley Bassey which, naturally, went gold. The music evokes an exuberant cockiness befitting 007."

The list author says:
	"Barry achieves an underwater feel by using alto flutes and vibraphones and few bass lines. More music from Thunderball can be found on The Best of James Bond 30th Anniversary Collection 2 CD set."

The list author says:
	"One of the most lush, lyrical and beautiful of the 007 soundtracks, with violins complemented by Japanese instruments, and a melancholy edge to the slower-paced tracks."

The list author says:
	"The highlight of the soundtrack of On Her Majesty's Secret Service is this song, the last recorded by jazz legend Louis Armstrong. Search for the soundtrack, one of Barry's best."

The list author says:
	"If you want to know what it felt like to be in Las Vegas in its rat-pack heyday, listen to this score. Barry captures the lounge lizard flavor of Vegas with brassy, upbeat orchestrations."

The list author says:
	"The title song is not Barry's finest hour, nor is the use of a penny-whistle in the car chase music. However, the rest of the score is up to Barry's usual high standards."

The list author says:
	"With this soundtrack, Barry achieves an outer space feel by using slow, balletic melodies and choral accents."

The list author says:
	"An underrated score. Barry gives the orchestrations a fresh, modern feel, with lots of electric guitar accenting the fast-tempo pieces."

The list author says:
	"Barry's final 007 score (so far) is an excellent example of action film scoring, updating the Bond sound by mixing synthesized bass tracks with the orchestra."
