007 Soundtrack: Quantum of Solace (2008)

FILM: Quantum of Solace (2008)

SOUNDTRACK RELEASED: 2008

SCORE COMPOSER: David Arnold

TITLE SONG: "Another Way to Die"
COMPOSED BY: Jack White

PERFORMED BY: Jack White, Alicia Keys

Quantum of Solace: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the soundtrack album which was released on 17 October 2008. The album contains the score composed by David Arnold. It is Arnold's fifth soundtrack for the James Bond franchise. His frequent collaborator Nicholas Dodd orchestrated and conducted the score.

David Arnold, who composed the scores for the previous four Bond films, said that Quantum of Solace director Marc Forster likes to work very closely with his composers and that, in comparison to the accelerated schedule he was tied to on Casino Royale, the intention was to spend a long time scoring the film to "really work it out". He also said he would be "taking a different approach" with the score. Arnold composed the music based on impressions from reading the script, and Forster edited those into the film.

007 Soundtrack: Die Another Day (2002)

FILM: Die Another Day (2002)

SOUNDTRACK RELEASED: 2002 / 2017 (Expanded Edition)

SCORE COMPOSER: David Arnold

TITLE SONG: "Die Another Day"
COMPOSED BY: Madonna, Mirwais Ahmadzaï

PERFORMED BY: Madonna

Die Another Day is the soundtrack for the 20th James Bond film of the same name, and was released by Warner Bros. Records on November 12, 2002. The soundtrack was composed by David Arnold, his third outing as the composer for a James Bond movie. Frequent collaborator Nicholas Dodd orchestrated and conducted the score.

Arnold again made use of electronic rhythm elements in his score, and included two of the new themes he created for The World Is Not Enough. The first, originally used as Renard's theme for the previous film, is heard during the mammoth Antonov cue on the recording, and is written for piano. The second new theme, most easily described as Bond's romance theme, is heard here on the Going Down Together track. There is also a second romance theme in Die Another Day which was previously used on the The World Is Not Enough soundtrack titled Christmas in Turkey, and can be heard during the Moneypenny/Bond virtual reality sequence.

The title song for Die Another Day was written and sung by Madonna, who also had a small cameo in the movie as Verity, a fencing instructor.

007 Soundtrack: The World Is Not Enough (1999)

FILM: The World Is Not Enough (1999)

SOUNDTRACK RELEASED: 1999 (US), 2000 (Japan)

SCORE COMPOSER: David Arnold

TITLE SONG: "The World Is Not Enough"
COMPOSED BY: David Arnold, Don Black

PERFORMED BY: Garbage

The World Is Not Enough is the 1999 soundtrack of the 19th James Bond film of the same name and the second Bond soundtrack composed by David Arnold. The score features more instances of electronic music, which Arnold included to "make the thing a little more contemporary". To add an ethnic flavor to tracks that conveyed the film's Turkey and Central Asia setting, Arnold brought in percussionist Pete Lockett, qanun player Abdullah Chhadeh, and singer Natacha Atlas.

Arnold broke tradition by not ending the film with a new song or a reprise of the opening theme. Originally, Arnold intended to use the song Only Myself to Blame, written by David Arnold & Don Black and sung by Scott Walker and inspired by the failed romance between Bond and Elektra King, who turns out to be a villain. However, director Michael Apted "felt it was too much of a downer for the end of the movie" and Arnold replaced it with a techno remix of the James Bond Theme. Only Myself to Blame, is the nineteenth and final track on the album.

007 Soundtrack: Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)

FILM: Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)

SOUNDTRACK RELEASED: 1997

SCORE COMPOSER: David Arnold

TITLE SONG: "Tomorrow Never Dies"
COMPOSED BY: Sheryl Crow, Mitchell Froom

PERFORMED BY: Sheryl Crow

Tomorrow Never Dies is the soundtrack of the 18th James Bond film of the same name.

David Arnold composed the score of Tomorrow Never Dies, his first full Bond soundtrack. Arnold came to the producer's attention due to his successful cover interpretations in Shaken and Stirred: The David Arnold James Bond Project—which featured major artists performing classic James Bond title songs.

The theme tune was chosen through a competitive process. There were approximately twelve submissions; including songs from Swan Lee, Pulp, Saint Etienne, Marc Almond, Sheryl Crow, and David Arnold. Arnold's entry—Tomorrow Never Dies, sung by k.d. lang—a bold, brassy number in the classic John Barry/Shirley Bassey vein, was chosen as the official theme song, and Arnold heavily incorporated elements of the song throughout the film's score. However, similar to the last-minute theme song switch that occurred with Thunderball three decades earlier, shortly before the film's release, the producers replaced Arnold and lang's theme with Sheryl Crow's, as Crow was a much bigger name at the time; Arnold's theme was re-titled Surrender and moved to the end credits.
