Now, from the Bond on Vinyl archives, we’re taking time for No Time To Die!
Daniel Craig’s memorable time as James Bond comes to an end. Though we had an extra year and a half to wait and process story leaks, it didn’t make the ending of the film any less profound. An emotional Bond film for what is certainly another turning point in the franchise.
Hans Zimmer takes over composing the Bond score with much of the same orchestra members he’s been using for two decades (think Gladiator). The result is wildly entertaining, keeping pace with the action of the film and featuring clever 50-year-old audio callbacks to On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. I really enjoyed it!
My biggest gripe with this soundtrack release is that the Grammy award-winning main theme does not lead off the soundtrack, and is not laid in chronologically as track #3. No, the theme is buried in the middle of side #4 on this double LP release. The track itself is certainly no worse than Sam Smith’s from the last film. It’s just a style that takes some getting used to. The lyrics are well written, accurately describing Bond’s mindset going into the final Craig story.
