Yes easily one of my favorite expanded film score albums of all time, after not being one I had been looking forward to beforehand.  The TWINE score was a disappointment to me back in the day after the legendary TND, but this expansion completely changed my mind on it, so much so that I ended up thinking it was the superior score to TND!  Of course, now that TND got expanded by Neil too, I'm back to thinking TND is the top, but it's super close.

Picked it up based on Jay’s rec above.  I have LLL’s TND and DAD, but they’ve been sitting unplayed in my massive backlog of stuff (along with many of the recent JW expansions and even The Fabelmans).  Basically this was a FOMO purchase, but if it shines a much more favorable light on the score than the pretty so-so OST, it’s probably worth a go.

I think it does.  My ONLY qualm with the main presentation is that Neil put the two Casino source music cues into the flow of the main program.  For the version I put on my phone to listen to in the car, I moved those two tracks to the bonus track section

Taking the source cues out of the main program of a Bond score is like taking away his Martini's!

I have a track called Casino in my playlist, which given the previous one in my ripped flacs (i.e. not in my curated playlist) is 'Casino Jazz' implies that I have the second source cue in my playlist if there are two of them.

 

For the most part the presentation's great. The only thing I can think of that I would change is the track 'Body Double' which has a synth overlay on the album which the film dials out, making it a much more suspenseful cue. It would've been nice to present a 'lite' version as a bonus, but it may be that the elements to replicate that on album weren't present.

 

And relately, to this day I'm not sure what's different about the two versions of Pipeline.

So for TND did you move the 3 source cues into the main program?

Yes, "Casino" and "Casino Jazz" are the 2 tracks I moved out of the main program, for me personally I prefer things that way.

Ah, I haven't seen the film in 20+ years so had no idea the film mix of Body Double omitted the synth.  That could have been a cool bonus track, yeah

I remember trying to figure it out once and gave up.  Whatever the difference is, it's subtle

Nor me! When LLL's release came out I dug out a DVD I somehow owned, to just remind myself of what the music was doing in a few spots, and happened to notice that this scene was different.

 

That skim reminded me that the original OST is actually pretty good at recognising most of the better parts. Except of course Snow Business. Someone was having a bad day when they decided to leave that off...

Right?  Luckily, Arnold made it available on his website back in the day

Front to end probably the most satisfying Bond score to listen to in complete form.

I prefer it to TND, which sounds overcooked in parts. The Stealth Boat finale and anything after Underwater Discovery is a bit tedious for me.

Except Kowloon Bay.

So annoyed I missed that. His site was taken down a while back it seems.

I really like this score, except for the bit just after "Come In 007, Your Time Is Up", when Bond rolls down the Millennium Dome, and it turns into ALIENS. I mean, what the actual?!

This?

Does anyone else have a weak spot for Only Myself To Blame? It's one of those strange songs I can listen to on a loop for 30 minutes.

 

I like "Only Myself To Blame", but, then again, in my opinion, Scott Walker can do absolutely no wrong. He was one of the last true geniuses of popular music.

And I may or may not have sung along with it.

 

I bet you did, you sly dog :)
