Today, from the Bond on Vinyl archives, we’re moving on to Quantum of Solace and checking out the theme by Jack White and Alicia Keys !
Bond is out for revenge in this direct sequel to Casino Royale. The script was rushed and then interrupted by a writer’s strike, which I feel comes across in the final product.
David Arnold returned to compose his fifth and final Bond score, but it ends up trying too much to repeat the music of Casino Royale (including Vesper’s theme again and again).
The main theme collaboration “Another Way To Die” between Jack White and Alicia Keys was worked on separately from the score (and was stuck at the end of the CD-only soundtrack). Unfortunately, the tune is all style and no substance, with no memorable melody – definitely my least favorite theme of the Daniel Craig films.
This 7″ single was available on vinyl and contains the original version of the theme as well as an instrumental-only version on the B-side.
