Product Description
Chronique amazon.fr
Héritier naturel de John Barry aux commandes de la licence musicale, David Arnold n'a pas eu besoin de trois films pour imprimer sa marque dans l'univers bondien. Assimilant parfaitement le style barryesque en l'imbriquant dans son propre langage pour le moderniser, il entamait déjà avec Demain ne meurt jamais une nouvelle génération. Rencontre détonante entre l'orchestre et l'électronique (et plus spécialement la drum n'bass), Le monde ne suffit pasdemeure à ce jour le James Bond le plus libre, le plus déchaîné, le plus audacieux, un des plus aboutis au niveau musical. David Arnold poursuit sur sa lancée, en imaginant notamment une variation nonchalante et terriblement séduisante du thème de Monty Norman. La suite de l'album rivalise de punch, de classe, de virtuosité électroacoustique, de cette énergie distanciée qui perpétue le mythe, des sections chorales de toute beauté et la voix de Natacha Atlas en option. Du grand 007, du grand David Arnold. Ajoutons l'excellente chanson titre de Madonna, dopée par le son de Mirwais et les cordes de Michel Colombier. Jean-Christophe Arlon
Album Description
James Bond has never been cooler - and neither has a soundtrack in the action hero's series of blockbuster films. The title is track by Madonna, who has a cameo in the movie. Along with a score by one-time Bjork collaborator David Arnold, it also features the classic James Bond Theme remixed by cutting edge dance master Paul Oakenfold. The CD is also enhanced with Madonna's 'Die Another Day' music video, the making of the video segment, Bond bonus extras, women of Bond gallery and more. Warner Bros. 2002.

Shockingly bad
Nov 20 2002
Format:Audio CD
David Arnold's score for TND was brilliant, TWINE was less so but still extremely good, but this is truly awful. To say Madonna's title track is the best thing on the album should give you an idea of how bad it really is. It seems like Arnold couldn't be bothered to write any new material and instead has spent his time rehashing the themes from his previous scores using the new toys he has obviously aquired since the last film. He seems more interested playing with his equipment(!!) than writing music and he clearly hasn't got the hang of it yet. The production is poor (sounds like his computer has got an ongoing clocking problem) and to top it off they just had to get Paul Oakenfold to ruin it even further. Perhaps its time David Arnold passed the mantle onto somebody else. As long as it's not Paul Oakenfold!!

David Arnold is nowhere near as good as John Barry. I know John Barry recommended him to the Broccoli clan, but do they listen to the music? Have they tried playing it against Barry's? Please, please... there are other great composers out there I'm sure! Start looking! And do so in non-predictable fashion: No "names" unless they can back it up with a good score!
Dave Arnold - Pretender to the Throne
Jan 27 2004
Format:Audio CD
Am I alone in thinking that Dave Arnold is nothing more than a poor imitation of the maestro of the spy movie genre, John Barry? - and a very poor one at that! His score's lack any semblance of the style and sophistication we have come to expect - nay demand from the Bond franchise over the past 40 years, (with the possible exceptions of messrs Norman and Serra). Don't get me wrong, I am not against Mr. Arnolds music "per say", - his reworkings of the Bond classics on "Shaken and Stirred", were an entertaining new slant on some familiar themes. But that is all they were, new slants, no more important to the world of Bond music than say, Geoff Love's or Count Basie's interpretations were in the sixties and early seventies, (those Bondophiles amongst you who are over the age of thirty five, will know the albums of which I speak). Granted, there are a few occassions when he hits the nail on the head with his Bond albums, but these times are, at there core, nothing more than thinly disquised reworkings of familiar Barry themes. To emulate a maestro with your own style is flattering. To "create" virtual copies of there music is plagerism. Of course, this album will still be a sucess. True Bond fans will want to add it to their collection simply because it is a Bond album - myself included. As far as I can see, there is only one way to describe your Bond outings Mr. Arnold, and that is to paraphrase Mr. Bond himself from The Spy Who Loved Me" and The Living Daylights - "There's a useful four letter word, and your, (or at least your music is), full of it!

Why you should buy this nifty CD....
Bray all you want about the direction the Bond music is taking, because really it is only trying to keep up with a franchise that is itself charging ahead into the future of action... Read more

Stale Mate
After two very good James Bond scores it sounds as if David Arnold has gone stale on 007. There is really nothing new here. Read more

An Okay Soundtrack to a Bad Movie
I bought this CD for one dollar, and it was totally worth the one dollar. I wouldn't have bought it otherwise, but maybe that's just me. Read more

Disjointed
Where to begin?
Madonna's title song is, in a word, lousy. Maybe it's just me...while I enjoy some things she's done I'm definitely not a fan of techno music. Read more

It slowly gets to you
:)) I liked the song, but that is way too much of it. Overall, it is a nice CD, especially if you are driving long distance.

Once again, great music... poor album....
David Arnold has done it again. He's written a soundtrack which brilliantly mixes 007's musical roots with some modern energetic techno drum loops. Read more
