In my efforts to find new Bond related music, I ventured into the 007 world of gaming on youtube.
Love how The World Is Not Enough is weaved into this, but I'm not sure if it's the Bond-esque sound or the 90s vibe that I dig more!
Really quite ambient while embracing the Bond sound. The iconic guitar riff creeping in around the 1.40 mark reminds me of Dr No's score.
^ Bit of fun, that cue.

Weirdly does make me feel like I'm walking through a shopping centre circa 1999.

I remember this one, it weirdly didn't feature Brozzer's likeness or voice. Quite fun though, enjoyed the oil-rig level (think it's been Diamonds since the movies had an action sequence set on one) and some of the gadgetry like the pocket-sized grappling hook and the EMP weapon in the car.

Makes me want to find out anything from Everything Or Nothing, always liked how that game had a bitchin' title sequence.

I have to admit the oil rig level did make me appreciate the DAF ending a little more. I prefer the more refined and varied gadgets seen in Nightfire personally, but I do like the idea of the all-in-one phone (probably inspired by TND!).

Not big on EON song, if I'm honest, but I did like the visuals. I'd have preferred the jazzier version.
The EON score however is exceptional, even if personally I lean more toward the Nightfire soundtrack. Ah the memories... I should crack them out one day if consoles still work.

This brings back memories of trying to beat this game with the clunky controls but loving the cheat to make the Z8 become the Lotus Esprit in the driving levels.
EA did at least try with their games. EoN is still probably the best Bond game of all.
But for game music nothing will ever beat GE64 and I do like the music for the TWINE N64 game as well.

The power of music... Certainly triggers feelings of nostalgia.
I remember very much enjoying all EA games. Then, much like the films, they turned to trash.
I think Nightfire's score is best. I might post a few tracks I dug up on YT recently.
