Regular musical composer David Arnold is away on Olympian duty for London 2012, so Thomas Newman is brought in to collaborate again with director Sam Mendes ( for 5th time ). Yet again like with Casino Royale, Sony Classical have given us a lengthy Bond soundtrack without the main theme song by Adele. There is "an instrumental interpolation of" the song on track 13 which is a favourite. The composer also incorporates the James Bond Theme on several tracks subtlety not overblown like on track 22.
With 30 tracks there is no standout track for me but each brings a different interpretation of the action within the movie using the full scope of the orchestra's different instruments. Perhaps this explains why his atmospheric score later winning both the Bafta & Oscar musical awards.
A welcome change & addition to Bond soundtrack collection.
