Hamburg Breakin/Break Out/Driving to Paris from Tomorrow Never Dies. It's got Espionage, action, and even a bit of Romance. And at around 4:50 in the song, it takes a huge leap and... Well, I'll let you listen to it!

I love that piece too! David Arnold certainly knows how to write brilliant action music...

She's Mine from Skyfall, probably one of the most emotionally charged and powerful action cues from the series, and i love the hints of the Bond theme in it.

Interesting choice! I have always enjoyed the brassy sound of that tune, and I like to play it loud in my car with the windows down. (I'm not sure my neighbors appreciate it, though! ajb007/lol)

Re: Favourite single track from all the soundtracks?

I've always liked John Barry's space themes so it's a tie between Space March (YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE), 007 & Counting (DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER) & Flight Into Space (MOONRAKER).

Yes I like all of the OHMSS soundtrack, but recently got the AVTAKill CD that I didn't have and
the 2nd track-"Snowjob" with Bond evading the Russians by skiing is a good rousing brass music.
The track "He's Dangerous" is similar.

I play them all in rotation in the car on the CD player.

That's a favorite of mine as well. Although AVTAK is at the bottom of my list of Bond films, I like the soundtrack quite a bit.

Re: Favourite single track from all the soundtracks?

I'm fond of Monty Norman's score for Dr No/ I like the piece when Bond fights Mr Jones. The same piece also occurs when Bond stabs the guard in the back when they are being tracked by sniffer dogs

OMG - too many to mention.
At a push:
Into Miami - GF
Journey to Blofeld's Hideaway - OHMSS
Corrine Put Down - MR

There are probably more.

Re: Favourite single track from all the soundtracks?

What a difficult choice!  I've personally always sat in Barry's corner, so I usually break them into the moods he's after in the tracks.

In the romantic/lush strings-violins tracks:

Journey to Blofelds Hideaway - OHMSS:  Soaring/majestic.
Alpine Drive (GF)
Cafe Martinique (TB) - Barry at his most creative:  takes the blaring theme of the
                                   of the film and turns it into one of the most bittersweet,
                                   romantic tracks of all his soundtracks.
Try (OHMSS)

In the action/suspense tracks:
Stalking (FRWL)
Auric's Factory  (GF)
Dawn Raid on Fort Knox (GF)
Chateau Flight (TB)
Bond Below Disco Volante (TB)
Capsule in Space (YOLT)
A Drop in the Ocean (YOLT)
This Never Happened to the Other Feller (OHMSS)
Gumbold's Safe (OHMSS)
Inflight Fight (TLD)
