Geek Syndicate
006. Skyfall (Skyfall) For me this is one of the best bond themes to come out of the recent films and it stands right up there with some of the classics. I love the way the lyrics pretty much hand you the plot on the plate. Also, if you’re either not a fan of Adele or her lyrics then track down the instrumental version and I promise you won’t be disappointed. Somewhere Shirley Bassey and John Barry are giving this a standing ovation. Madonna and Alica Keys take note. 007. On her Majesty’s Secret Service (On Her Majesty’s Secret Service) I still think, however, that OHMSS is a great and underrated Bond flick (don’t hate me) and given a little more time, Lazenby could have grown into a very different Bond. Anyway this title track is sublime and shows why every Bond soundtrack nicks from the master that is John Barry. I have loved David Arnold and others’ work on the Bond soundtracks over the years but none have come close touching John Barry at his best, which is here. The first moment those trumpets kick in at the beginning you know that two and a half minutes of musical heaven awaits you.
Bond Moments
Finally we are on to my 007 Bond moments. These are those scenes that I have to re-watch again and again. If I catch a glimpse of Bond on the telly and know one of these moments are nearby I have to take a seat and wait for the fireworks. So charge your martini sit back and enjoy... 001. ‘Welcome to hell Blofield ?? `?????????????????1????????????????????????????e????????????????????????????????????????????????e??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????e??????Q??????=??!??5???????e?M????M???????]??????? ???????????????? ???????????????????????????????Q?????????????????e???? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????A??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Q????e?????????e????????????????????????????????????????((??((
