I'm not commenting on Kamen's work outside LTK, rather I'm commenting on the score for that Bond film as compared to other Bond films. And by that standard, it comes near the bottom. Not the absolute bottom, of course- there are at least 2 scores worse than LTK.
For clarity, I'm not talking about the title songs but the orchestral scores.

Edit- make that 3.
Yes, but that's exactly my point.
In a Bond context and now 30 years later, this may be the case.
But Kamen in 1989 was highly successful, highly accepted and his score was a mainstream job and more than solid back then.
So his score was not one of the main factors, why LTK was not successful 30 years ago.

I don't count the LTK score among my favourites, but it's though and bombastic and fits the movie. I like at least most of Barry's scores better than LTK, but I'm not sure Barry would have made a better score for LTK.

I didn't say it was, Higgins.

He doesn’t actually read and take in what people say. He reads and Then makes up what you’ve said. Surely you’ve learned that by now.

I agree that Kamen's score for LTK is unremarkable. Not everything's a winner.
Offhand, some scores that I can think of that are worse:
- GOLDENEYE: That Eric Serra score is horrid. The music surrounding the Bond/Xenia car chase in the beginning is particularly egregious.
- FOR YOUR EYES ONLY: The Bill Conti score doesn't work for me. The Hamisch 'disco Bond' score in TSWLM worked fine and still felt like 'Bond', but this Conti score didn't. It was distracting but didn't kill the film.
Yes, but that's exactly my point.

Why don't both of you agree not to post things like that in the future so we can continue having fun? These threads have been a wonderful way to pass the time while Corona is going on (Thanks, Higgins) and I don't want to see it get tainted with conflict.

It’s Higgins. Conflict is his middle name. Along with Moron and a few other things I can’t say on here.
The day we agree on something will be the day the world ends. Or worse.

Apparently it's not only Higgins ….
But let's focus on TLD and all things Bond now.

Thanks, Gymkata. Make that 4 worse than LTK.
Yes, of course. You're right.
We're here to have fun watching Bond together, remember?

Did you ever hear Eric Clapton’s theme for LTK?
Did he? All I can find out is that Kamen worked on it with Clapton and then it got locked up in Eon’s vaults - apparently
