5.0 out of 5 stars
Great soundtrack,
By
This review is from: Live And Let Die (Audio CD)
This is a tremendous soundtrack and is one of the musical highlights from the Bond series. Atmospheric throughout and varied e.g. it contains the jazz song from the New Orleans funeral march, the rousing main theme from Paul McCartney & co, cover versions of the main theme, funk/soul from the New York (Harlem) parts of the film and even backdrop music to the voodoo dances.
The legendary producer/composer George Martin did a great job here. I would say this is the best of the non-John Barry soundtracks from the Bond series. You're also getting a great bang for the buck here as this is the digitally remastered version and contains 8 additional tracks not featured on the previous release.

Best Bond Soundtrack!!,
By
This review is from: Live And Let Die (Audio CD)
This has to be the best bond soundtrack. George Martin really delivers the style that Live and Let Die needed. I only wish that he had done more, (John Barry still does a great job). James Bond Composers should really look upon this and see where theyre going wrong. Just Buy it, you wont regret it.

4.0 out of 5 stars
The best non John Barry Bond score,
By
This review is from: Live And Let Die (Audio CD)
"Live and let die" is by far the best of the Bond soundtracks John Barry never scored. After the success of "Diamonds are Forever" Cubby Brocolli invited John Barry back to score the next film, which would be Roger Moore's début in the role. When Barry turned the offer down ( Due to scheduling conflicts with his work for the west end play "Billy") Brocolli turned to the man who had turned The Beatles into global superstars producing all their albums, one Mr George Martin !
Now the choice of Martin as composer probably raised a few eyebrows ( No Roger Moore pun intended!!) as he seemed an odd choice to do a Bond score. Fortunately the gamble paid off and Martin's score easily ranks in the top 5 Bond scores of all time. Mixing Funk music, heavy percussion and traditional orchestral sounds - Martin delivers a very lively and should i say very Groovy soundtrack indeed ! The movie itself was made when Blaxplotation films ( such as Shaft) were dominating cinema's ( especially in the U.S) and the movie was definitely a cash in of sorts, even the film poster had all the hallmarks of a Blaxplotation movie poster ! The mixing of Funk, percussion and orchestra is largely successful and you couldn't have put this score into any other Bond movie as it would'nt have worked as well but in "Live and let die" it definitely adds to the mood and tone of the film. Now i would have given this five stars but had to knock a star off because as good as this score is, it's also highly repetitive in places. Most of the tracks feature either a reworking of the title track,the james bond theme or the main action theme created for the picture and in some cases all 3 in the same track ! It's good stuff but by the end you'll kinda feel you've heard the same track a dozen times ! That said if you rifle through some of the excesses there are some gems to behold !! Of course the title song needs no introduction, easily in the top 3 Bond songs of all time i don't think Paul Mc Cartney has written a better song! Other than the song the top cues would be - "Bond meets solitaire" "Trespassers will be eaten" "New Orleans" and "The Boat chase" and Martins own arrangement of "The James Bond theme" but all the tracks are largely great. Better than Barrys scores ? Some yes , a lot no but easily the Best non Barry Bond s/track. Highly recommended.
