Never had an issue with that track. If anything quite the opposite. I've always liked it, very soothing and relaxing. I especially like the slightly mysterious tone it takes at 4.06 (the moment in the film when Bond walks up those steps opposite the mimes doing a routine - very fitting to what's onscreen in my view).
the score is probably the most important component of a bond film in my opinion and THAT score was SHITE.
You have quite a good point. I truly enjoy GE for the most part, great villains and sense of humor about the film. But the music definitely plays a big part for me as well, and it's probably why GE has yet to make my top 10 or a classic status. Arnold's TLD score wipes the floor with it.
Barry wasn't available. He was busy scoring 'Cry, The Beloved Country' and 'Across The Sea Of Time'
Well he wouldn't have been if EON had used a bit of foresight and booked him up in advance. You can't expect blokes of that calibre to be available at the drop of a hat.
Back to the soundtrack. Some others have mentioned what I think are the highlights of the score in this thread and I'm also a big fan of the music right at the start of the film when Bond is racing Zenia (Ladies First?) I think it's great and that scene was awesome to watch at the cinema. Brosnan at his best.
As a standalone body of work, no it doesn't fill the shoes of say DAF and it doesn't have the same depth but I'm a fan
Eww...... really?
Conti's score was more diverse and entertaining than anything Serra ever threw on screen.. the typical argument against Conti's score is that "it's too disco" - alright, remove that and what else is there against it?..... Because I could do the same with Serra's, i'll toss out the "dated" argument - what is left? - it's just musically bad.. it has it's bright spots (few and far between)... but you look at Conti's score...
- A Drive In The Country
- Melina's Revenge
- Gonzales Takes A Drive
- Runaway
- Submarine
- For Your Eyes Only (orchestral version)
- Gunbarrel / Flowers For Theresa / Sinking of St Georges
All of those are miles and miles ahead of any of Serra's work from GE.... and the soundtrack works in the film as well as is great to listen to on it's own - unlike the GE soundtrack which can be a chore to make it through once..
LOL, haven't laughed so much at a post.
And yes, I agree entirely :)
At least Conti's score sounded like a Bond score. I can't even begin to tey and think what Serra's score sounded like......Nothing good anyway.
It's the Dun Nah lowered in pitch and given a wah filter I believe.
If you want an underrated score, hit up Michael Kamen's LTK score.
Oh I also love Kamen's Score. It's one of my personal favorites. :)
His Die Hard score is also Excellent.
We are in the same block here, Creasy! The GoldenEye soundtrack is incredibly memorable and very suitably worthy for a Bond movie. Can't believe anyone dislikes it! It's just too epic for words to describe!
Yes, EXACTLY!
I don't think it's offered.
It has both CD and MP3 purchases.
