Casino Royale: An Original Soundtrack Recording [Soundtrack]

Amazon.com
The Austin Powers series was hardly the first to spoof James Bond. At the very height of '60s Bondmania, this sprawling, big-budget parody turned the trick, complete with an all-star cast of multiple, dueling Bonds and a bubbly romp of a musical score by Burt Bacharach. Indeed, this swingin' slice of '60s pop kitsch seems to have inspired much of Mike Myers's own later Powers musical tack. Anchored by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass' jaunty main theme and the Brazilian jazz inflections of Dusty Springfield's sublime interpretation of Bacharach's evergreen "The Look of Love," the collection bounds merrily from blaring orchestral action flourishes through Bacharach's own savory takes on jazz-pop and musical send-ups of everything from vaudeville to international pomp and circumstance. It's a dizzy, lighthearted delight from first track to last. --Jerry McCulley

CASINO ROYAL.......2007-06-08

Great spoof on the James Bond Movies. Woody Allen and Peter Sellers are at their comic best.

CASINO ROYALE.......2007-06-07

In reply to the question from KIRSTEN J. WALSTEDT, I have both CD versions of Varese Sarabande's CASINO ROYALE. Both versions have the same 13 tracks, but the 2nd version has two major improvements over the first: 1. It has far superior audio quality---which justifies buying it even if you already have the 1st version. 2. The 2nd comes with an informative booklet with narrative about the movie and the soundtrack.

Also, I prefer the cd cover of the 1st version which is the original poster art for the movie, so I inserted it into the 2nd version's jewel case---which gives me the best of both worlds.

As for the score itself, I think the Oscar-nominated "The Look of Love" is the best love theme ever written for a film and was wrongly not awarded an Oscar. Mike Myers has said the song inspired him to develop the Austin Powers movies and he pays tribute to the song by using it in his first Austin Powers movie in the hot tub scene with Lotta Fagina.

This 2nd version cd is definitely a must-have for those seeking the absolute best in film music.

One Of My Favorite Soundtracks!.......2007-03-08

Burt Bacharach and Hal David are a great songwriting team. Burt writes extremely melodic melodies and Hal David writes memorable, to the point lyrics. Casino Royale is one of my favorite soundtracks because it has catchy, fun songs on it. My favorite track is "The Look Of Love" sung by the sultry voice of Dusty Springfield. It doesnt get any better that this. Listen to the lyrics, then listen to the sexy sax solo near the end of the song. This is a heavy duty make out song. Play it while you're having cocktails with your love partner and you'll be kissing in no time. Everytime I hear that song I think of the scene in the movie with Peter Sellers and Ursula Andress shot in slow motion through a large fish tank. Peter Sellers is one of my favorite comedic actors and Ursula Andress...well, she's unbelievably hot! The title song on the CD is performed by one of my favorite artists Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass. This is a fun, uplifting, goodtime soundtrack to a great light hearted James Bond movie with other great actors like Orson Welles and David Niven, directed by John Huston. I also recommend another Burt Bacharach soundtrack CD, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Burt Bacharach and Herb Albert at their finest.......2007-01-18

This imaginative and fulfulling soundtrack is full of whimiscal but serious music that recalls a magical time. Even though Casino Royal is not a classic bond film, the theme is as memorable as the classic bond theme.

What's the difference between this one and the other cover?.......2006-12-20

Hey, can anyone tell me the difference between this release and the one with the alternate cover that is only available second hand? Are the tracks all the same? Thanks.
