The James Bond Complex presents Bond Beats - Part 1: the 60s.
Hello dear listeners!
What do you hear when playing the various cues of the James Bond film scores? More importantly, what do you feel? Are you transported back to the movies and the very scenes those cues evoke, or do the magical musical notes take you elsewhere in your imagination and have your heart rattle to a different beat?
Yes, fresh off of their Masters degrees in musicology from the John Barry School of Wa-Wa (a name change to the once Monty Norman Academy of Calypso), Mathieu and Edgar bask in the glory of the 007 music that characterized the films of the 1960s. The boys go through each film, from DN to OHMSS, chitchat a little bit about the albums in general, before diving into their personal favourite 3 cues from each.
But what the hosts offer this week is more than just a random list of favourite cues and why the music is so good. Nay, Matt and Edgar get personal, revealing their innermost opinions on the musical movements, sharing what each makes them think of and feel. Which cue makes Edgar think of himself as a badass mother f*cker when leaving an airport? Which makes them think of a good time in the summer, or relaxing on the beach for that matter? And, above all else, which transports them to a wonderful, stimulating evening with a very special person?
Sit back, dust off your copies of John Burlingame’s book, and let the hosts take you on a musical and personal journey through the Bond sounds of the 60s. It’ll be music to your ears.
