James Bond themes tend to be just as memorable as their movie counterparts and, to a certain extent, just as time sensitive. While many fans can remember the Monty Norman Orchestra's steamy Dr. No theme or Shirley Bassey's "Goldfinger," how many of us remember Rita Coolidge's dated "All Time High" from Octopussy or A-Ha's theme from The Living Daylights? Yes, just as we all have our favorite Bonds, we all have our favorite eras of Bond movie music. But surprisingly, whether they're New Wave, soul, or just Euro-pop inspired, most are still worth hearing. There are some real gems on this compilation: On Her Majesty's Secret Service's "We Have All the Time in the World" by Louis Armstrong, the Thunderball theme sung by Tom Jones, and the spunky theme to The Man With the Golden Gun by Lulu. Just overlook those sporadic lean years and you have a pretty stiff soundtrack cocktail here. --Jason Verlinde

 THE Best of Bond December 12, 2008
99D2Kid (Morton, PA)
The best of Bond- and it sure is.
All the opening theme songs to most the James Bond movies are here! Great songs performed by some of the best performers, and all are true classics! Of course this collection wouldn't be complete without John Barry's original "James Bond Theme" which is one of the most recognized songs in movie history. As you listen through this entire album, you can truly appreciate the music from each decade and hear how the James Bond songs have evolved over the decades.
My Faves: Both John Barry's works (the Dr.No original and On Her Majesty's Secret Service), For Your Eyes Only, GoldenEye, The Living Daylights, The World is Not Enough, Diamonds are Forever, Nobody Does it Better, Live & Let Die, & A View to a Kill (Being a fan of Duran Duran of course a fave!)
One Downside: Just missed Madonna's "Die Another Day."
Recommended for every Bond fan out there. Even if you're not a Bond fan, I'm sure there is a song or two you may have heard that you liked. Get it!
The "Mad Mind" has spoken.
You don't even have to be a Bond fan to like this. It's great! October 27, 2008

Great compillation of songs from all of the bond movies up to "Tomorrow never dies".
Great music for all the ages, walks you through many romantic classic songs form the 1960's, 70's, 80's, 90's and this deacde.
It only lacks songs from "Die another Day" and "Casino Royale", of course, this compilation is fron 2002 and those movies were not out yet.
I converted all the songs to MP3 to hear though my digital devices, but I still use the CD on my stereo system, because the songs tend to sound better from the CD.

If you like Bond and the music that goes with the adventure-you'll love this collection! There's even a couple of newer movie tracks added for more fun.
