Having seen Bond's Holy Magick (1971ish) and having Colosseum and Spirit of John Morgan covers of his work in my collection, at this price I felt this was worth a try. Two days, two plays and I have to say I'm impressed. Originally released in 1970, the actual recordings appear to originate 1964-66ish, which only goes to show how forward thinking he was.
A well known and respected member of the original british underground blues scene, the various line ups of his band spawned at least two top class outfits, Baker and Bruce with Cream, while Hiseman and Heckstall-Smith formed Colosseum. Bond's music is much more jazz orientated than his contempories at the time (Korner & Mayall), and for any fans of Colosseum, ... Read More: >>More Details |

Better than 'Born'. The quartet have reached new heights. The music will not appeal to everyone but it appeals to me. This album would be a good match to 'Bombay Jazz Palace' the music has the same mystical east undercurrents. Gone are the 'Hooked on Classics' mixes in are sitars and bongos. I was quite hesitant at giving the album a full 5 Stars as I normally reserve that for Albums that have stood the test of time, but this is definitely a good one. >>More Details |

I'm a hardened, dyed-in-the-wool classical music lover. I have hundreds of classical cds and maybe one shelf of what you'd call pop.
This cd, as has been said, is not classical. Oh sure, the tunes are familiar, but there's a disco beat to them and they've been heavily arranged. When I first saw this group, I did wonder if they were following the lamentable modern trend of looks over talent. But you know what? I actually really enjoyed it. These ladies can play. Very well, in fact. It's perfect if you like classical, but are in the mood for something a little wilder, or maybe if you are not at all into classical but want to dip your toe in the water. In short, this was the first Bond album I bought. I now own ... Read More: >>More Details |

Having taken over the mantle of composing the James Bond movie soundtracks for the 90s (and very good they are too), David Arnold revisits Bond theme songs in this project, working with a wide range of artists to produce a set of really interesting covers. And the whole CD is worth buying just for the astounding first track - David McAlmont is Miss Shirley Bassey as his falsetto vamps up 'Diamonds are Forever' in homage to the queen of Bond theme songs and gay icon. After that you feel rather let down by Aimee Mann's understated 'Nobody does it better' - although listened to separately, this track will grow on you. Chrissie Hynde rocks out in 'Live and let die', and the Propellerheads do their drum'n'bass thing brilliantly with 'On her Majesty's secret ... Read More:

Come, on, you can hear the girls most of the time in this album, and for some reason some versions of highly strung, when played on some eualizers, do not play the sound of the violins/viola/cello, if you have a more recent version where this is corrected then the song has amazing solos when you can really hear the instruments! A great album overall.

NOTHING TO ADD TO PREVIOUS REVIEWS AND AGREE THAT THESE ARE GREAT ALBUMS. WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT I KNEW AND WORKED WITH GRAHAM BOND AND THERE IS NO EVIDENCE HE COMMITTED SUICIDE AS THE PREVIOUS REVIEWER SAYS. AS FAR AS I REMEMBER THE VERDICT OF THE INQUEST WAS EITHER 'MISADVENTURE' OR MORE LIKELY 'OPEN VERDICT'. FINSBURY PARK TUBE STATION WHERE HE DIED GETS VERY BUSY IN THE RUSH HOUR AND IT IS INFINITELY POSSIBLE HE WAS SIMPLY BUSTLED OFF THE PLATFORM.
AT THE TIME OF HIS DEATH HE WAS GETTING HIS ACT BACK TOGETHER AND ACCORDING TO SOME SOURCES HAD BEEN CLEAN OF HEROIN FOR SOME TIME. IT SEEMS STRANGE THAT HE WOULD CHOOSE SUCH A TIME TO END HIS LIFE. THAT GRAHAM BOND WAS A VERY TALENTED MUSICIAN WITH MANY DEMONS IS BEYOND DOUBT. ... Read More: >>More Details |

Explosive - The Best of Bondby: Bond June 27, 2005 |

Having read the other reviews, it must be me. However, after playing this CD a couple of times, I keep getting the feeling of "deja vu". All the tracks sound the same. Maybe with a decent rhythm section, they could make things more dynamic and different, but these so-called best recordings are far too samey.

Best of Bond... James Bond 007by: Various Artists, James Bond Films (Related Recordings) November 01, 1999 |

Bond aficionados will be only too familiar with the tracks that are missing from this compilation. The main title from 'From Russia With Love' is omitted (the instrumental), as well as The Pretenders 'If there was a man', from the end titles of 'The Living Daylights'. Sadly the list of absentees includes KD Lang's wonderful 'Surrender' from 'Tomorrow Never Dies' - a far superior contribution than that of Sheryl Crow's TND title song. Aside from Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies, the CD isn't significantly better than the 30th anniversary album released back in '92. Disappointing as well is the notable absence of the last 007 flick, 'The World is Not Enough' - especially given that the CD was released at the same time as that particular film. Don't get me wrong, ... Read More:

Kamen's attempts at a Bond score suffered much criticism and although it's far from a Bond soundtrack, a viewing of the film will help you realise that the change of style is not Kamen's idea. He was hired to make the film sound like exactly what the producers wanted: Lethal Weapon. This CD is yet another example of the mess Kamen's scores become when released as soundtracks. It's all over the place and barely has enough music in it to warrant as a promo, let alone a soundtrack. There are some exciting action cues here and there, lush moments with strings and Spanish guitars and the Bond theme is always great to hear but some moments are tough on the ears, which is not what I expect from an accomplished orchestrator as Kamen. Curiously, this is the only Bond soundtrack ... Read More:

The World Is Not Enoughby: Various, James Bond Films (Related Recordings) November 19, 1999 |

Arnold has produced a very good second Bond film score. The question has often been asked, 'Is Arnold simply John Barry repackaged'? To a certain extent this is true because the sound is undoubtedly Bond-esque, through use of traditional orchestral material, sweeping strings and use of jazz. However, David Arnold has produced this score in his own unique style. He has put his own individual stamp on the music and has proved that he is the Bond composer of the future. More so than 'Tomorrow Never Dies', Arnold imaginatively mixes live orchestral sounds with electronics and has produced some very powerful and exciting music. With this album however he has experimented more with audio properties of the soundtrack, using phaser pluggins and metalizers. ... Read More:
