Synopsis

Amazon.com

The Living Daylights was the first of the Timothy Dalton Bond portrayals but the last of the John Barry scores. Though the film marked the 25th anniversary of Bond's cinematic prowess, listeners can detect Barry's slumping enthusiasm for the '80s 007 incarnation. The assortment of recording artists accompanying Barry, such as a-ha and the Pretenders, may date the release, but the '80s synth pop sounds a bit refreshing in the face of today's heavier beats. Barry himself even uses several synthesized rhythm tracks. This disc includes almost a half hour of previously unreleased tracks of incidental music from the film, including a typically exciting Bond pre-credits teaser theme. --Joseph Lanza

CD Reviews

A New James Bond. The last of John Barry.

Devin Zydel | New York | 11/26/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"For his final time, the man who has created the music for many of the James Bond films, John Barry gives it all for his last, and one of the best soundtracks in the series! A-ha performs the title song, The Living Daylights and it was well recieved by fans, obviously because of the easy route given to them for the previous rock group, Duran Duran. John Barry then delivers some of his best work for the last time. Ice Chase, Hercules Takes Off and Final Confrontation are favorites because of their exciting upbeat tempo.
Another piece that adds to this glorious soundtrack is the additional songs If There Was A Man and Where Has Everybody Gone performed by The Pretenders. Since this CD was rereleased, there are several bonus tracks on here as well. John Barry makes his cameo (and only) appearance in the film The Living Daylights as the conductor of the symphony at the end of the film. John Barry has given us fabulous title songs by many respected artists and additional music that would make us flip! He is the true man that deserves all the credit for the music and this soundtracks is a perfect way to end his magnificent career! A 5 star soundtrack! Hats off to John Barry!"
