Product Description

Amazon.co.uk

Bond is back in style, thanks to David Arnold. On Tomorrow Never Dies, Arnold paid homage to the classic John Barry era; on The World Is Not Enough he leaves Barry's legacy behind to build a new and distinctive sound all his own. The marvel is, it's still recognisably, undeniably, thrillingly Bond. The series producers knew they'd made a mistake last time around by selecting Sheryl Crow's limp "Tomorrow Never Dies" song as the opener (Arnold's own, superior take on it, "Surrender", was apologetically included over the end credits), so this time they've made good with "The World Is Not Enough", once again penned by Arnold and veteran Bond lyricist Don Black (who wrote the words for "Thunderball" among others). Garbage help out all they can, but it's unmistakably Arnold's song, a bold, swaggering piece in the best tradition of the series. Shirley Manson is no Shirley Bassey, although her husky vocals have a sexy allure all their own. The score itself is a roller-coaster ride around all the larger-than-life ingredients of great Bond music--sassy, devil-may-care brass, swooning, sultry strings--updated with electronics and samples to produce a "Bond with beats" sound that's utterly contemporary, yet still classically Bond. There's plenty of diversity among the action set-pieces, too, with the romantic "Elektra's Theme", a little lounge ("Casino", naturally), and even another song "Only Myself to Blame" (sung in true crooner fashion by Scott Walker no less) making for an album that's overflowing with good reasons to acquire it. David Arnold, it seems, was born to play Bond. --Mark Walker

4.0 out of 5 stars The World is not Enough (Soundtrack Review) 12 Jan 2006
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
Arnold has produced a very good second Bond film score. The question has often been asked, 'Is Arnold simply John Barry repackaged'? To a certain extent this is true because the sound is undoubtedly Bond-esque, through use of traditional orchestral material, sweeping strings and use of jazz. However, David Arnold has produced this score in his own unique style. He has put his own individual stamp on the music and has proved that he is the Bond composer of the future. More so than 'Tomorrow Never Dies', Arnold imaginatively mixes live orchestral sounds with electronics and has produced some very powerful and exciting music. With this album however he has experimented more with audio properties of the soundtrack, using phaser pluggins and metalizers. The overall effect is very good. A thoroughly enjoyable listening experience, and it has inspired much of my own personal compositional output. Well done, Mr Arnold. Another first class album.

4.0 out of 5 stars Arnold Hits the Mark Again wih 2nd Bond Score 23 Nov 2000
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
This score proves that David Arnold is the perfect heir apparent to John Barry. Unlike the other composers who have scored for 007 movies (with the exceptions of George Martin and Bill Conti), Arnold has the musical world of James Bond down pat. Combining a bit of Barry with his own distincting 90's motifs, the score to TWINE ranks among the best. Garbage's theme song is petty good, with Shirley Manson's vocals sounding as though she were born to croon Bond theme songs (succeeding where Sheryl Crow failed in TND). The only dissapointment is that the orchestrial/techno end theme is missing from the soundtrack. Otherwise, this reviewer will be looking forward to another Arnold score for the next 007 adventure.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Soundtrack! 24 Feb 2001
By Daydreamer
Format:Audio CD
David Arnold has done it again! This is easily the best soundtrack album I've got. I loved The World Is Not Enough by Garbage. It's one of those songs where once you learn the words you just can't help but sing along. Show Me The Money and Come 007... are also excellent pieces of music, full of energy and sure to bring a smile to your face. This CD also has some nice slow pieces. Casino and Christmas In Turkey are great to unwind to after a stressful day. Overall I think this is definitely worth buying, especially if you liked the film as it captures the atmosphere of TWINE well.
