Editorial Reviews

The obvious marquee name here is Garbage--and the group delivers. Shirley Manson sings the title track in a detached catatonia that's juxtaposed with sultry, swirling strings and keyboards, draping the song in plush atmospherics worthy of Agent 007. But for eccentric and obsessive music collectors, the real surprise may be the participation of cult artist Scott Walker, who has forsaken his most recent forays into avant classical-pop for the perfectly syrupy, old-fashioned, string-lined ballad "Only Myself to Blame," which recalls the by-the-fire genius of his early solo work. This end-of-the-millennium James Bond thriller, however, is not without heart-racing action music to set the movie's pace. David Arnold, producer and writer of the Garbage and Walker tracks, sets forth 17 instrumental pieces that capture the Bond vibe so perfectly you can transform any room into a space-age bachelor pad just by pressing Play. --Rob O'Connor

Good but Missing Essential Music.......2006-11-28

David Arnold's THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH is good but I was disappointed that it was missing some essential music. The gun barrel opening music was outstanding as it went into immediately into the following scene in Bilbao, Spain. Also, the End Title that was essentially another innovative rendering of THE JAMES BOND THEME is missing. The Garbage Main Title song is adequate but seems to have aged with time. Also, Arnold let a lot of synthetic techno elements run throughout the soundtrack. This soundtrack does contain a good wealth of music but something seems to have gone amiss since Arnold's 2 outstanding TOMORROW NEVER DIES albums.

Great ,although.......2003-12-14

I love this cd!David Arnold is great.It does need all of the music.Its missing the first part,with the gunbarrel.They need to make a new cd with all the music from the movie.

Nobody Does It Better than Bond...James Bond.......2003-05-13

What is missing from most Bond Scores? THE BOND THEME! Try listening to the Moonraker, The Spy Who Loved Me, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, all of them only contain a few tracks of the Bond Theme(Moonraker didn't play it at all!), I'm talking about the Cds here not the scores, but TWINE Cd is fill to to rim in Bond theme Music as in tracks 2, 3, 6, 10, 11, 12, 14, 17, 18, now I know alot of you new Bond fan don't consider the Four Note John Barry Theme played in the Background of the guitar theme in about every movie, but when its played by its self alot of you new fans fail to notice this great theme, listen to tracks 6, 10, 11, 17, 18 to hear it by its self. It is the Bond theme so stop making the same mistake! Sure it doesn't have gun barrel music but out of the 21(never say never again is a Bond movie) Bond Cds? Very few contain it. Arnold's score for TWINE isn't as good as TND but it still packs a punch. Check out Die Another Day you'll love it.

Arnold's best yet!.......2003-03-26

This soundtrack is just very, very good. No other way to put it. The title song by Garbage is great, although you won't hear any part of it in the score (much like in Tomorrow Never Dies). I'm a big fan of "spy" music as well as music scores, and I must say this one has it all. Action, suspense, covert themed music- there's a great mix in this score.
Compared to Arnold's last, Tomorrow Never Dies, this one has less traditional Bond style but still fits in the groove. The end song, "Only Myself to Blame", by Scott Walker, is used as the backdrop for the Casino music and "Elektra's Theme". There is less Bond Theme backdrop this time. In fact, there is no Bond Theme reference after "Caviar Factory".
But all in all, definately worth the extra buck. Contains all music from the movie. A great, great compilation!!!

Arnold, David Arnold........2003-03-11

After his successful score to Tomorrow Never Dies, David Arnold returns scoring the next exciting Bond film, The World Is Not Enough. First, let's start with the title song, this time performed by the rock group, Garbage. It is a surprisingly good song, which definitely beats Sheryl Crow's song for Tomorrow Never Dies. The final song, "Only Myself to Blame", is in one word, dumb. Skip it by all means. The legendary Bond theme can be found in only 3 tracks, leaving Arnold to come up with original music. "Show Me the Money" and "Come in 007, Your Time Is Up" are 2 exciting action cues that open the score, with plenty of rhythmic beats, along with blaring brasses, especially the high trumpet played over a heavy amount of electronic percussion. The Bond theme really kicks into high gear here, with exciting and thrilling music. Most of the music is of the action variety as in "Ice Bandits", "Going Down - The Bunker", "Pipeline", "Caviar Factory", and "Submarine". Arnold unleashes a sultry side in tracks such as "Casino", "Elektra's Theme", "Torture Queen", and "Christmas In Turkey". Parts of the title song occur in "Access Denied", "Welcome to Baku", and a few others. I honestly think that James Bond has a new composer: that's Arnold, David Arnold.
