4.0 out of 5 stars Beyond Bond, Barry's music is so cool it burns..., 18 Jan 2001
By A Customer
From the ultra-hip sixties twang of "The Ipcress File" to the sweeping pomposity of "Out Of Africa", this album reminds us - in case we'd forgotten - that John Barry wrote much of the soundtrack to our lives. Strangely, the terrific Bond numbers - some of them unfamiliar arrangements - seem rather out-of-place amongst the more understated jazz pieces, and the album runs better if you program them out. Perfect for parties or candle-lit dinners, and not half bad on the Walkman as you jog, either... erm, probably.

4.0 out of 5 stars The master of many moods, 12 Nov 2008
By Mr. S. Bailey - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Cinephile Jonathan Ross gushes over the film score composer in the sleeve notes to this excellent anthology ("For my money you can't beat a bit of Barry", "Check out the boss" and "The man's a God"). Themeology explains why Ross splashes the superlatives so liberally. Many of his memorable James Bond film themes are here, including: `Goldfinger', `Diamonds Are Forever' and From Russia With Love' (Barry's name has now become synonymous with the series). His other TV/Film work covered here is of comparable quality. From the melancholy `Midnight Cowboy through the jazzy strains of `Beat for Beatniks' to the chilling theme for The Persuaders' TV series you can see why Barry, the master of many moods, has been honoured with five Academy Awards for his labours.

Themeology's only real drawback is, as the other reviewer noted, that it does not really gel as an album.
