Horrible.......2004-11-04

While the theme variations are somewhat interesting, Mike Boldt crossed over the line on this CD.

I expected at least a decent rendition of spy themes - but this guy did the whole thing on his synthesizer in his bedroom.

Yechh. Give me my money back.

When I think of spy music I think of real instrumentation, not cheesy synthsizer "impressions" of instruments. If you're going to charge full price for a CD, do the right thing - hire a band or at least tell us it's all fake instruments in the description.

GREAT MUSIC FOR ALL SPY MOVIE FANS!.......2004-08-22

I recently bought Mike Boldt's CD "The Alamo: A Musical Tribute to John Wayne's Epic Film" and was very impressed by his innovative music. Thus, I decided to spring for his other album, "James Bond and Beyond". As with "The Alamo", Boldt not only provides some great cover versions of classic songs, but also throws in some very good original compositions as well- in this case based on "Casino Royale" and "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", though best of the lot is his "Spies, Sleuths and Private Eyes" which captures the essence of John Barry's "The Ipcress File". There are also some other nice bonuses: a very informative, well designed collector's booklet and liner notes and some really rare original radio spot commercials from 1960's spy movies including those old "Man From UNCLE" feature films and "Our Man Flint". In all, it's pretty hard to put some energy into songs that have been recorded so often, but Boldt manages to succeed.

Great, Simply Great.......2002-05-25

I have had the pleasure of receiving a copy of this CD and am so delighted that it is being distributed on Amazon!! Mike is a fantastic composer and arranger. His renditions of popular spy themes are ingenious, well composed and just plain fun! What I really love however are his original pieces...His subtle insertion of the actual theme from Casino Royale in"James Bond at Casino Royale" is super clever and amusing! My favorite is "Mr and Mrs James Bond".....smooth, jazzy, Sean Connery sexy........LOVE IT!!!
Do yourself and Mike a favor....BUY IT!!!
