casino royale bond theme orchestral score

SoundtrackNet hasn't seen the film yet, and the track-by-track analysis that follows is sure to be incorrect in some areas. It should be noted, in a rather unique situation, that the soundtrack release does not include the song to the film. Instead, Arnold utilizes a melody he wrote for the film's song, 'You Know My Name', which subtly hints at a precursor (with the ascending bass line) to the Bond theme. This makes sense, since it's not until the end that James Bond becomes 'James Bond'. Also - and interestingly enough - Monty Norman's classic 'James Bond Theme' is scarce, only showing up a couple of times over the course of the 75-minute album. While his previous films have leaned heavily on an orchestral/electronic fusion sound, Casino Royale focuses more on the orchestra, and uses electronics sparingly. Returning to score this latest adventure is composer David Arnold, who has scored the past three James Bond films, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World is Not Enough and Die Another Day. Trailers for the film also seem to indicate that this is a 'genesis' story of sorts, showing us how James Bond became 'James Bond'. Directed by Goldeneye director Martin Campbell, the film reportedly returns us to the James Bond of Ian Fleming's novels - a much colder and less joking Bond, who relies more on his skills than gadgets. It's been four years since MI6's most lethal agent had an on-screen adventure, and now Daniel Craig has taken over the role of James Bond from Pierce Brosnan, helping rebirth the franchise in Casino Royale.
