There's a lot of negativity going on.

Oh sorry, I misread your post. I thought it said "does anyone here have the GE soundtrack?" I'm afraid I'm going to have to change my answer and add to the negativity. To me, it's a toss up between that and Bill Conti's FYEO for the title of worst Bond soundtrack.

It's a very strange Bond soundtrack compare to the other ones.

GE soundtrack may not sound pretty Bondish, but it does have a Cold War feel to it.

Nah, John Barry's score for The Ipcress File - now that's the soundtrack to the Cold War.

I've always thought that GE was underscored!!..........some of it was good such as the score at the end of the film when
007 and 006 are fighting it out on the satellite dish..............didn't like the track though for the car chase between Xenia and Bond though.

FYEO was a mixed bag........some good tracks, some poor.

Now, if you were to include non EON Bond films......then Michael Legrands score for NSNA was truly absymal, and severly
hindered the film..........it was totally out of sync for a Bond movie.

Well, of course it does. But that shouldn't necessarily mean that the rest of the score has to suck.

Have to agree with AB on this one.

It could have been better. Too syrupy without a punchy action theme to use.
