John Barry


It was sad to hear of John Barry's death this morning. It's impossible to imagine the Bond films without his music in them. The score to You Only Live Twice always struck me as very decent film music - both the brilliant theme tune and the instrumentals throughout the film. One of my favourites is the slow, creeping orchestral piece in the scene at the start of You Only Live Twice, where a SPECTRE spaceship drifts towards an American craft, terrifying its occupants before ultimately swallowing it up. You can hear it here
