Best of Bond...James Bond

Performer: Original Soundtrack/Various Artists
Distributor: EMI Music Distribution

Notes: Compilation producers: Paul Atkinson, Cheryl Pawelski. Includes liner notes by Danny Biederman. THE BEST OF BOND.JAMES BOND is a compilation of Bond theme songs that automatically evokes images of baccarat tables, vodka martinis, and exotic automobiles. Gathering these familiar titles from 21 movies in the series is bound to excite any lover of film music, and not just Bond fans alone. Exclusive to THE BEST OF BOND.JAMES BOND is the previously unreleased orchestral version of Chris Cornell's "You Know My Name" from the 2006 hit CASINO ROYALE, as well as a new remix of "The James Bond Theme." The Best of Bond ... James Bond celebrates over three decades worth of Bond theme songs, including "The James Bond Theme," Shirley Bassey's legendary "Goldfinger," "Moonraker," "Diamonds Are Forever," and Lulu's "The Man with the Golden Gun." Other Bond divas like Sheena Easton ("For Your Eyes Only"), Carly Simon ("Nobody Does It Better"), and Rita Coolidge ("All Time High") are also represented, and Tom Jones' appropriately booming "Thunderball" and Paul McCartney & Wings' "Live and Let Die" are among the album's other highlights. Tina Turner's "Goldeneye" and Sheryl Crow's "Tomorrow Never Dies" bring the collection into the '90s, just in time for the release of 1999's Bond installment, The World Is Not Enough. ~ Heather Phares

Q (1/00, p.128) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...The music confers greatness on what otherwise would be schlock and this CD celebrates that.....mostly, it's great: glorious, rich and complemented by soaring vocal performances..."
