Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Enlisting an array of indie icons, from Iggy Pop to Chrissie Hynde (whose version of "Live And Let Die" is a definite highlight), Arnold attempts to update--if not exactly subvert--some of the more notable Bond theme tunes. Yet despite this noble attempt at deconstruction, what's remarkable here is how so many of the acts conform to expectations: Pulp, typically, make "All Time High" seem a furtive, even faintly grubby experience; while Aimee Mann performs "Nobody Does It Better" with a kind of weary sarcasm, either unable or unwilling to swallow the myth of male potency. On the other hand, Shara Nelson's reading of "Moonraker", and Martin Fry's "Thunderball," each manage to communicate at least a little of the magic of the original versions. And having at last found a piece worthy of him, David McAlmont loses no opportunity to make "Diamonds Are Forever" his own. --Andrew McGuire

5.0 out of 5 stars Not a Tribute: Fantastic new music, 19 Jul 2001
By Mr. Nicholas Adams (Edinburgh, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a magnificent CD, with surprise after surprise. Dave Arnold has assembled an astonishing number of hugely talented musical forces and obviously put them to work. A lot of work. This isn't just a work-a-day, rushed set of remixes, but completely recomposed music. None of the songs sounds like a 'tribute' but like (because it is) a new piece of music. No duds here.

Highlights: David McAlmont singing the pants off Shirley Bassey. He is simply magnificent. Also a very unusual arrangement of From Russia with Love, sung by Natacha Atlas. Whereas McAlmont clearly sets out to out-Shirley Shirley, Atlas recreates the song so that it sounds as if written specially for her. Pulp are seedy as hell: brilliant, and also doing full justice to their arranging skills.

All it's lacking is Mandalay singing For Your Eyes Only. Now that would be something... Or am I just greedy...?

4.0 out of 5 stars Original and enjoyable updating of classic Bond themes., 30 Dec 2000
By A Customer
David Arnold has excelled with his scores for Tomorrow Never Dies and The World is Not Enough and this collection of covers of classic Bond themes is well worth a listen.

Fans will enjoy Arnold's clever re-workings which maintain all the showmanship and panache of the originals. Non-aficionados will be reminded that these are just brilliant songs.

5.0 out of 5 stars LIKE BROSNAN-UPHOLDS THE BOND GENRE BUT ADDS FRESHNESS, 5 Feb 2002
This album is like Pearce Brosnan,it brings back to the bond genre the classic bond feel not seen since the connery years and adds freshness with ease.I bought this album quite a while ago and very pleasantly surprised just how good it was.It upholds the classic lines and brings it screamingly up to date with little or no effort.The tracks have been created not as copies with crude remixes thrown in but made as though they are totally new pieces of work with a familiarity to them.Each performer chosen makes the track their own,as has arnold with the music.Since tomorrow never dies,a bosnan bond film would not be the same without arnold.Excellent!
