"It's a shame the masters for the complete score from MOONRAKER have been lost forever, as this elegant, celestial set remains one of composer John Barry's finest contributions to the Bond franchise. Dame Shirley Bassey returns to favour us with her third and seemingly final Bond song, and while lesser-known than many of the Bond themes, it's positively glorious when compared to some of the ones that followed."

A send up in Bond soundtracks for sure!

"Although the kitchness of the movie cannot be overlooked, I personally consider this one of the finer Bond soundtracks to come from John Barry. I think what impresses me the most is the subtle use of synthesiser and the creative use of harp and strings. The clash and thunder of Barry's characteristic horns is not absent either, coming into play in just the right moments with just the right amount of force to keep the dramatic elements of the music going. An awesome listening experience. I only wish that Disney would stop pouting over the Black Hole and release his soundtrack. I would love to compare the this and the Black Hole soundscapes to each other."

Beautiful James Bond Soundtrack

"The score to MOONRAKER contains very beautiful music. I highly recommend it to all Bond fans and Non-Bond fans alike. Don't let the cover fool you. The music on this CD is just so beautiful and ethereal. This is one James Bond soundtrack that has absolutely no hint of THE JAMES BOND THEME but still sounds amazing thanks to composer John Barry.
