I think I can agree with this ranking. Perhaps I'd switch DAD and CR. QoS is easily my favourite Arnold score. Well-balanced, atmospheric and overall interesting.
But hey, i hope Romer gives us a great score. I'm not optimistic it'll be anything special but i'll certainly give the guy a chance. After all, it's his first Bond score. If it doesn't come up to scratch i'll blame the makers for their choice of composer.
Arnold is still the best of the post 1987 Bond composers IMO.
By some margin.
Agreed.
There's always one.... 8-|
Me too.
Make that two.
Seriously? ok
Strictly speaking Newman only did one score and a half, as SP had a generous amount of regurgitated music from SF.
Arnold did 5 original scores, every one different from the other, but hey, there's no accounting for taste 😁
Make that three
Whether it’s two or one and a half, it’s more than I personally enjoyed out of Arnold’s five.
If that's what you prefer, cool.
Dan Romer is doing the score for the next film. It says so in this thread's title. Perhaps the talk about Arnold vs. Newman must be had in other threads.
No free will.
Thank you. Finally someone said it =D>
One thing about using a new composer rather than Newman or Arnold is that we probably lose out on themes from previous Craigs being woven into NTTD. Seeing as they are intent on linking the movies that seems a loss.
Themes carrying over has certainly been unique for Craig's run. If Romer ends up doing a new recording of Arnold's "The Name's Bond... James Bond" arrangement like Newman did then that may play to the theory that EON demanded that piece be used to maintain consistency between Craig's run.
Agreed.
Romer has a real tightrope to walk with this score. I'm sure he's realised what a tricky task he has ahead of him.... :-S
Exactly what I was getting at for a year or more, much to everyone's disagreement. Glad it's finally being realized now. At least real conversation is only a few months out, finally.
