Bill Conti – For Your Eyes Only (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) 1981 Album 12” Vinyl LP ORIGINAL Release
DESCRIPTION
A pre-owned 12” vinyl album.
Bill Conti keeps For Your Eyes Only’s score full of symphonic grandeur and spy film theatrics, but also adds several new elements to update the sound to fit the early ’80s. For instance, Conti adds elements of dance and funk music to the action cues: “A Drive in the Country” and “Melina’s Revenge” both work funky basslines, roaring electric guitar leads and whooping synthesizer lines in with the standard orchestral elements. The modernized tone also extends to the film’s Sheena Easton theme song: it replaces the lush strings and brassy orchestrations that typically dominated Bond theme songs with a minimalist style built on synthesizers. However, Conti proves elsewhere that he could comfortably write music in the traditional vein without utilizing any electronic or pop elements: “Take Me Home” is a lovely romantic interlude that highlights a gentle flugelhorn solo against a backdrop of lush orchestrations, and “St. Cyril’s Monastery” is a taut suspense cue that builds from atmospheric strings into a brassy reinterpretation of the “James Bond Theme.” Purists may complain that the pop elements Conti incorporates into this score date it, but there is no denying that the overall soundtrack is tight and skillfully written.
