Themeology: The Best of John Barry

by John Barry

Overview

Themeology -- The Best of ... is a fairly good summation of the highlights from John Barry's career, naturally featuring a good deal of James Bond music, as wellas selections from The Ipcress File and Beat for Beatniks, among many other '60s and '70s staples. The collection goes a little off track by featuring some of his '90s work -- although his score for Dances with Wolves is excellent, it doesn't fit the mood of Themeology, especially since it's targeted at Generation X hipsters -- but the collection remains a fine summation of his career. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
