John Barry was the composer of choice for the Bond franchise until Goldeneye, which was scored in an absolutely dismal fashion by French composer Eric Serra, who thankfully never returned to the franchise. The scoring duties were then assumed by British composer David Arnold, of Stargate and Independence Day fame.
David Arnold, New Bond Composer of Choice
Despite an impressive debut in the series with his phenomenal score for Tomorrow Never Dies, each subsequent Bond score Arnold wrote was gradually less remarkable until 2006’s Casino Royale, a powerful return to the series’ musical integrity. Quantum of Solace, Arnold's fifth James Bond score, proves an admirable and equally enjoyable experience.
A Song for Bond
Casino Royale was notable for its enjoyable and pervasive integration of the title song (which Arnold co-wrote), as per James Bond tradition. Alas, this is not a tradition which has always been honored (such as in the dreadful Die Another Day).
Again it inexplicably gets ignored: the title song for Quantum of Solace, “Another Way to Die,” is a train-wreck of a song. It has little recognizable melody and banal, anonymous lyrics: fans of Royale’s excellent “You Know My Name” will find little, if anything, to enjoy here.
Action-Packed Classic Bond Score
The score itself is another story, thankfully. Arnold has written some of his juiciest Bond music yet, with a gritty determination which recalls the most thrilling moments of Royale. The opening cues, “Time To Get Out” and “The Palio”, introduce the score in a whirlwind of blaring brass, before quieting down to some brief but ultra-cool interludes in “Inside Man” and “Bond in Haiti.”
Although none of the action pieces quite match those in Casino Royale for sheer infectious quality, the quantity of solid action moments in Quantum is indeed admirable. “Pursuit at Port Au Prince” is simply phenomenal in its ability to get the blood pumping, as is “Target Terminated” and “Perla De Las Dunas,” among many others. The score moves forward with an almost untamable ferocity, slowing down only occasionally for moments of reflection.
