  1. Jonh Ingham says Great to see Arnold get some props. He had a CD out of Bond songs in the early 90s...don't know if it's still available. Casino Royale's soundtrack just rocked. I'm fascinated that he and David Holmes seem to be the cool soundtrack guys for cool directors.

  2. Augusts1 says I remember seeing this Bjork vid. Great song, I LOVE me some Bjork! 'A Life Less Ordinary' is one of my fav cult movies directed by Danny Boyle w/Cameron Diaz & Ewan McGregor. I think it's a seriously underrated movie & VERY Coen Brothers style. I own this & eveytime I watch it I find something new I didn't notice before. I love Boyle's movies too. Haven't seen one yet that I haven't enjoyed. I've enjoyed many of the films you listed & their soundtracks but didn't realize they were all by the same guy, David Arnold. I'm assuming the Iggy song is David's writing/arranging too. Is that from one of the movies you listed?

  3. Mike the Knife says As a Bond-o-phile, I say he's a worthy successor to John Barry - but screw that "You Know My Name" theme by Chris Cornell. Bleah.

  4. Neill says Iggy Pop singing We Have All The Time In The World is taken from David Arnolds, Shaken and Stirred, where he got different artists to sing songs from Bond movies; Shaken and Stirred (The David Arnold James Bond Project) 1997
