The most legendary music of film history

The title track now truly knows every child. Shirley Bassey uses her killer body skillfully and provides a vocal masterpiece: hand cutting-malignant, performed with tremendous volume is here the fable of Midas, the evil one. Only fixed to gold, faded the rest (and stunted morale). Rightly a legend.

The true Pops come but only:
"Into Miami" transported Sixties feeling and US looseness unprecedented; "Alpine Drive" sets the Swiss mountain beauties give a transparent monument; "Golden Girl": Bond discovers the beauty in vergüldete dead solidification, orchestrated dazzling; "Pussy Galore's Flying Circus" makes the power girls arise in the mind's eye.

Especially impressive, however: "Dawn Raid On Fort Knox" set to music the maelstrom of events with a pounding beat, gemahnend to a furious bull; "Goldfinger" in his instrumental version delivers distinctive accents, especially "Oddjob's pressing commitment" but sums up the whole drama of the film in a few minutes of cold-pressed music together. Immortal.

One of the best settings of John Barry, entertainment at its best.
