Today, from the Bond on Vinyl archives, we’re moving on to the James Bond film, The World Is Not Enough!
I remember going to the theater to see this film in high school and later writing a (positive) review as a class assignment. The 17-minute action-packed opening, complete with a high-speed boat chase, was a highlight for me, along with a couple of things that popped up later in the film. While the action made for a fun popcorn flick, Sophie Marceau, Robert Carlyle, and especially Denise Richards were not convincing in their roles, which saved the film from its convoluted plot.
The film’s soundtrack, which blends electronic elements with classical arrangements and lounge music, is probably underrated. This title track by Garbage is absolutely better than you may give it credit for, as Shirley Manson delivers a performance far better than her typical vocals.
I did have to pick up the CD in order to get the full soundtrack, as it has not yet been released on vinyl in any capacity. This 12″ contains the original version of the main theme as well as the two remixes shared here.
