Edited: Watched it a few times that was excellent @Murdock
Make that four times, not a fan of Newman :\
This track is awesome =D>
TMWTGG, I admit it gladly, is one of my favourite scores/soundtrack. Barry uses the title track quite often which is great!
I just listen to these cues from the original audio tracks, SFXs and all. It's the real thing, after all, and with 5.1 sound you can hear certain instruments more clearly than others on some channels, which helps to better understand and appreciate how these pieces are orchestrated.
One of my favouraites, brilliant opening to the film post titles.
@Murdock - Thanks for listening to that one.
I've been checking out some Thunderball.
It all belongs to ze count.
Maybe because it is fresh in the mind, but "Journey to Blofelds hideaway" has to be in any discussion involving John Barry's best ever piece of music
EDIT: I agree on Journey to Blofeld's Hideaway as well. Tremendous stuff.
Agreed, @jake24. Barry's AVTAK is impossibly beautiful. There are other Bond scores that feel more epic or more fully rounded perhaps, like OHMSS or YOLT, but distilled down to its pivotal sound in moments like the one you posted there, Barry has never been better. Barry and Duran Duran are two of the very big reasons why I hold AVTAK in such high regard (Top 10, in fact). Christopher Walken, Roger Moore, Grace Jones, and Patrick Macnee help too, as well as the wonderful use of locations, but the music elevates the proceedings into improbably phenomenal territory.
Last Bond music listened to: Barry's unreleased approach to the Golden Gate Bridge
The AVTAK album is missing quite a few great cues unfortunately.
I'll give it a listen.
This is as good as it gets.
