5 out of 5 stars Pleasing James Bond Soundtrack.......2006-06-13

David Arnold's DIE ANOTHER DAY soundtrack is adequately pleasing and chocked full of music. If you enjoy the "James Bond Theme" you certainly get a good dose of it here with several variations. Track 3: On The Beach, for instance contains the opening gun barrel music while Track 4: Hovercraft Chase, is a tour de force extensively and effectively using the "James Bond Theme" to good advantage. Track 2: James Bond Theme (Bond vs. Oakenfold) is an updated version of the theme not used in the film, but intended primarily for the soundtrack album. It is very good and combines modernistic elements with the traditional arrangement. Track 6: Welcome To Cuba is a vibrant piece designed to enhance the Cuban locale and it accomplishes this beautifully. Tracks 7, 8 and 15 all incorporate the Arnold's "Love Theme" composed for James Bond and Jinx Jordan. These are very rich and lush provocative sounding compositions composed for their private moments. "Die Another Day" performed by Madonna on Track 1 is a very non-traditional main title James Bond song that works well in the film and has to grow on you, which it has done with time. Overall, this is a good James Bond soundtrack.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Score. Highly Underated.......2006-05-30

This is an incredible James Bond score, maybe the best. It excellently blends classical orchestration, techno beats/keyboards, and a heart wrenching series of drama songs. This is one of the finest action movie scores in the last 5-10 years, and well worth 5 stars and a purchase.

4 out of 5 stars I'll Find Another Way, There's So Much More To Know.......2006-04-29

This soundtrack has energetic & modern instrumental variations of the James Bond themes, and with Madonna's title track, the cd is worth borrowing to see if it has 2 or 3 tunes you'd enjoy.

One of the reasons I read reviews is to discover artistic gems I would not have known about otherwise. The soundtrack to a James Bond film may not be where a person would expect to find thoughtful art. And even fewer people may expect to find it in a Madonna song. Some of you may remember the unexpected and somewhat offputing torture scenes during the opening credits of Die Another Day. Madonna's song, Die Another Day, played during the scenes of grainy montages of drowning, electrocution, beatings, etc.

Madonna, from Like a Virgin, to Papa Don't Preach, to Express Yourself, to Love Profusion, had earnest, honorable, and genuine intents. Here are her lyrics to Die Another Day (in case you missed them while closing your eyes during the torture scenes):

I'm gonna wake up, yes and no, I'm gonna kiss some part of
I'm gonna keep this secret, I'm gonna close my body now
I'm gonna break the cycle, I'm gonna shake up the system
I'm gonna destroy my ego, I'm gonna close my body now

I think I'll find another way, There's so much more to know
I guess I'll die another day, It's not my time to go
I'm gonna avoid the cliche, I'm gonna suspend my senses
I'm gonna delay my pleasure, I'm gonna close my body now

I think I'll find another way, There's so much more to know
I guess I'll die another day, It's not my time to go

I enjoy songs that champion the drive to stay alive under difficult, crazy, & disheartening circumstances. Everytime I hear popular culture pundits lump Madonna in with the "evils" and "immoralities" of mass media, I disagree. Madonna is not a great actress in this film. She is such a strong personality and compelling presence, it must be incredibly difficult for her to be anything other than herself. But her independence of spirit works well in other artistic expressions. She expresses herself musically marvelously, and I am grateful for her contributions.

Please comment, express feedback, or suggest related music.

Die Another Day was a brilliant film to feature the world renowned O07-and this soundtrack is just as awesome! The title track is expertly performed by Madonna-you can't get much better than this folks.

If you like good music, soundtracks, James Bond or just want to hear one of the very best songs Madonna has put out in years buy DIE ANOTHER DAY The Soundtrack at once!

1 out of 5 stars Wanna Be.......2004-05-06

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!

1 out of 5 stars Worse than background music for supermarkets..........2005-08-17

Terrible, absolutely terrible. There are all kinds of samplers of the wonderful original James Bond soundtracks. I don't see any reason why anybody should go with this chintzy reenactments. It truely i s Las Vegas sound: glossy, smoothed, soaked with saxophone and drippy strings instead of all the legendary singers.

Bond always loved casinos - but he didn't deserve that!

5 out of 5 stars The best in Bond........2004-06-13

This CD is awesome. Most of the titles from the past and present including Die Another Day! They are very well made, and very close to the songs. Completely worth getting for any James Bond Fan.

4 out of 5 stars Pretty Good Renditions.......2004-04-14

If you like James Bond 007 music themes from the motion pictures you should find this to be a very satisfying album. "The James Bond Theme" and "Thunderball" sound first-rate. I found the cover art very interesting, as are the musical arrangements.

All the other Bond CDs are bad. This One is the best. I rate it 10 out of 10 stares.-------Sharif Michael Almaani
