Recommended music: Thomas Newman – Spectre
Today, from the Bond on Vinyl archives, we’re moving ahead to Spectre!
EON Productions secured the rights to the fictional evil organization named SPECTRE for the first time in decades. This meant we also got to see a new Blofeld played by Christoph Waltz, a new SPECTRE henchman played by Dave Bautista, and a new Bond girl in Monica Bellucci – all of which shone while splitting up screen time.
Thomas Newman returns to score one last time. It’s really a decent soundtrack album that is nearly all in order (compared to the previous release, Skyfall). Unfortunately, the film’s main title is missing from the soundtrack again. This is the third soundtrack in a row without it, unless you want to count the instrumental end credit version.
