Aside from the truly grandiose "We Have All The Time In The World", an intimate walk through Seelenabgründe, subtly interpreted by Louis Armstrong (in his last recording!), Probably the most impressive theme song of the series;
The instrumental numbers delight: So Barry has with "Main Theme - On Her Majesty's Secret Service" an entirely new main theme done that to George Lazenby fits like a gutsitzender Smoking. Locker, vibrant, full of self-irony and yet powerfully supple trumps this on, self-righteous, superior, dynamic springy step. The new Bond interpretation shows.
"Try" is again wonderful lounge music: sparkling, downright inevitably follows here Tone on Tone, atmospärisch coolly distanced, yet existenbedrohliche Casino worlds arise leaving.
Very good but "This Never Happened To The Other Feller", here titling says it all: With this dry word on the lips of the hero says that just happened, meant for the predecessor Sean Connery; the background music for this purpose (the title covers the whole of the Happening "Gunbarrel sequence" to the main title!) is incredibly impressive. Bond Aston Martin, a red Camaro pursuing - musical strutting confidently along the famous theme to - suddenly falling into the deepest melancholy - Beauty before the suicide. Bond, near end to the rescue, attacked by evil journeymen - musically true whip popping horsemen are released. The entire title: drama in the best sense of the word. Even for unique bonding ratios.
Garnished with other standalone blockbusters (ewta "Bobsled Chase") and even a typical "Sixties tearjerker" ("Do You Know How Christmas Trees Are Grown"), I love this song, provided a very inspired score, which far beyond the still "conventional" (of course excellent) Barry level extends.
An absolute highlight of the series, for me, the best Bond score ever.
