 | | As Bond movies became more in tune with the modern era around the mid 80s, the scores started losing much of their old-world charm, as full-blown orchestras were increasingly replaced with synthesizers and electronic music. |
 | | Shirley Bassey had the honor of singing the title tune, and her amazingly powerful voice set the pattern for the future Bond movie title tracks, which to this day are cued up some ten to fifteen minutes after the opening scene, with the now-classic credit scrolls set in fantastic, sometimes unbelievable worlds. |
 | | The movie deals with a certain maniacs desire to wreak havoc in the worlds financial markets by neutralizing Fort Knoxs gold supply (this was before Nixon took us off the gold standard in 1971), and the score has a certain sense of glitz, gold, and glamour. |
