World Is Not Enough 007 Musi [Soundtrack]

The score on the soundtrack is sandwiched between two songs. The first is the title song performed by Garbage. I have to say that I don't consider myself a fan of the group-but I liked what they did for the film. Singer Shirley Manson takes a cue from other artists, who have done this on the series, she finds a way to get it done with a sultry flair and her vocals go great over the main title credit images Madonna, who worked on Die Another Day, could learn a thing or two from Ms. Manson. The title track for Die Another Day is pretty bad compared to this song The second song, which runs over the end credits, is peformed by singer Scott Walker. This song seems very out of place and it sounds like he has a bad cold-literally. I would have settled for a reprise of the title track instead of what we got.

As for the score, Arnold by now, seems more at ease with the legendary status of the decades old franchise. Finally, starting with this film, he combines the Bond Theme, by Monty Norman, with hints of the title song throughout, using the proper balance. It's an action packed score with a lot of key musical moments represented. While some of the score remains unreleased, Arnold uses a lot of what made Barry's music soar-stylistcally at least. Yet somehow he makes it his own. This score is his best work for the series-including Die Another Day. My only quibble would have to be how he combines orchestra with synthesizer-it seemed overdone at certain times, as "Ice Bandits" illustrates

The soundtrack is recommended It has 19 tracks and a running time of 68:11
