Great - New Composer, Refreshed Bond Sound

They were the greatest British cultural export hit of the 60s. The Beatles in the music, the 007 movies in the cinema. And then you could win 1972 Ex-Beatle Paul McCartney with his new group The Wings as Title Artist for the 8th Bond movie. What emerged was one of the best and most successful in the charts Bond songs to this day.
The actual soundtrack composed for the first time after seven scores do not John Barry. But with George Martin was found adequate replacement. Lacked Barry did in "Diamonds Are Forever" a little of the rich diversity of earlier works, Martin composed a very varied soundtrack that all the nuances of the film such as voltage, dynamic (eg Track 3 "Bond meets Solitaire" Track 4 "Whisper Who Dares") applies.
But this soundtrack also includes much exotic sounds like no Bond Soundtrack more since "Dr. No". In the Tracks 6 "Baron Samedi's Dance of Death" and Track 7 "San Monique" Martin tries eg the Caribbean flair to capture something.
A novelty today is that the title track is again a cover version of another performer on the soundtrack, but this beat version souligerem touch of the singer BJ Arneau is class.
Stylistically dominated in Martins music the tension member, in which also managed daily new drama flows (eg Track 10 "If he finds it, kill him") or such a way that you can imagine the creeping through the area alligators (Track 11 " Tresspassers will be eaten ") or simply by lurking danger.
In principle, the first soundtrack album for this movie was perfect, but that music material not previously used with the tracks 15 to 22 are added, increasing the listening experience again, since this 2003 newly added tracks are just perfect and in this also hides the action more pronounced music, such as the boat to hunt, for this film is so famous.
