Review
James Bond returns in the shape of Pierce Brosnan, but sadly does not return in the shape of a decent soundtrack. The Goldeneye soundtrack » 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 soundtrack is cold and dark, exploring 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 these feel out of place amongst the others. A reprise comes from 'Run, Shoot And Jump', although this fades shortly afterwards into the disappointing 'A Pleasant Drive In St. Petersburg'. Highlights are very few and far between, which is a shame as the soundtrack opens with the powerful title theme sung by Tina Turner.
