FYEO soundtrack

Mister White

I just bought this.

Have to say that I was less than impressed...:(

Then again, maybe people will say that about the QOS soundtrack in 27 years?

I remember buying it when it first came out, it sure was not J Barry, Runaway in the ski chase was good. IMHO the QOS Soundtrack is one of D Arnold's Best

FYEO is from Bill Conti.

As much as I respect David Arnold, his first 2 scores have been best and then they turned down.
Thus I won't dare to compare such a gem with QoS :v

Yes I Noticed Bill Conti's Name On the Cover When I Bought it.But Each To Their Own I think Arnolds Best Work So Far Has Been CR & QOS.

I love most of the FYEO soundtrack. Perhaps it sounds a bit dated and cheesey, but I don't mind.

If we compare 'Bond 77' with 'Runaway' I think Marvin Hamlisch did a better job than Bill Conti of turning a popular musical style of his day into something authentically 'Bondian', but despite its datedness the FYEO score is lavish, big and sweeping - well-judged for an action and adventure movie with splashes of romance.

Barbel

Conti's score gets far better in the movie's second half, when he relies more on the strings and less on percussion; he handles the underwater sequences well (though not, of course, as well as JB).
