Soundtrack review

James Bond returns in the shape of Pierce Brosnan, but sadly does not return in the shape of a decent soundtrack. The CD soundtrack of Goldeneye by Eric Serra sadly leaves a lot to be desired. Many of the tracks heard are a departure from the usual Bond sound with industrial synthesized sounds appearing with very dark overtones. The whole mood of the CD is cold and dark, that explores the more emotional, serious side to Bonds character with tracks such as 'Whispering Statues' and 'Fatal Weakness'. There are more powerful and sensitive tracks such as 'That's What Keeps You Alone' and 'We Share The Same Passions', but personally they feel out of place in Bonds world. A reprise comes from 'Run, Shoot And Jump', although this fades shortly afterward into the disappointing 'A Pleasant Drive In St. Petersburg'. Highlights are sadly few and far between, which is a shame as the CD opens with the powerful title theme sung by Tina Turner.
