Alas I was disappointed on release as this CD becomes the first 007 soundtrack not to feature the theme song You Know My Name by singer Chris Cornell - plain & utterly stupid ! So I purchased it later in a sale with reluctance to see what composer Arnold gave us to make up for it.

There maybe 25 tracks but most are over before they're started, the CD opens with the long chase and has the usual runaway train music which is a feature of the action music. With the fresh Blunt Instrument we get to hear a snap of the theme, it a shame like in past albums an instrumental version of the theme was not included. Perhaps he will use it like Barry did with his 007 Theme. The composer does good romantic music for the ladies: Solange & Vesper of the movie and uses the theme again for the wide sweeping music of I'm The Money. Nice use of piano for Dinner Jackets and finally we get the build-up to Craig's delivery of The Names' Bond... James Bond with use of the legendary theme.

Overall a needed Bond Soundtrack for the collection but perhaps Arnold needs a break to refresh his juices.
