Not quite as brilliant as usual

After "Goldfinger" they picked Shirley Bassey for the second time as the official bond Titelinterpretin back, which was not surprising, Goldfingers brother should in "Diamonds Are Forever" but in the first considerations be mischief, which they refrained fortunately. Nevertheless, ultimately, one of the weakest Bond films came in "Diamonds Are Forever" out what but fortunately not too much impact on John Barry's work, whose work is mainly used to high but not as brilliant as usual.
Wonderfully Easy Pieces as "Circus Circus" (Track 4) or "Diamamonds are forever" (The theme song instrumental, Track 6)
Suspenseful as "Death at the Whyte House" (Track 9) or "Bond smells a rat" (Track 8)
But you can tell the music also that Barry tried that Las Vegas flair to pack in his music, such as in "Qs trick" (Track 11).
However, from a pure thriller sound ala "From Russia With Love" or "Goldfinger" or the many sections of ala "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" is missing a little bit of. Some a little too much repeats itself, so that you - I at least - a bit missing the inspiration.
In any case the re-inserted in the "Remastered Edition" tracks 13 to 21 make this impression of creeping up on the original soundtrack, again to revise anything. In this respect, this 2003 newly inserted tracks are an asset to the score.
