Hello,

I'm a new user, and thought you folks would be interested in reading my review of David Arnold's "Quantum of Solace" score.

Feel free to comment or offer input.

Thanks!

That link is dead now, but I've added a relevant observation (below) to the following thread, where I revisit my own evaluation of QOS:

"I like David Arnold's work on the music of QOS overall - it's largely in sympathy with the film, with some nicely moody/retro Barryesque touches - but I think that Arnold didn't always achieve quite the right tone when trying to match traditionally strident/triumphalist/quasi-Wagnerian Bondian scoring to the film's grittier and unconventionally edited action set pieces (especially where incidental civilian and emergency services casualties contribute a sobering level of seriousness to the violence)."

It might be Arnold's best Bond score. 'Night at the Opera' was good enough for Hans Zimmer to rip it off for Inception.

I agree, I too think QOS is Arnold's Best, most rounded score. -{
