The film is an excellent re-invention of the genre - let's hope that future movies coupled with Arnold's music can retain that raw, earthy feel where there is real danger and real feelings at stake. Although there is some electronic sound design and a touch of Techno, this is very much a back-to-basics acoustic Bond score, as befits the film's position as a "modern prequel" to the other familar James Bond movies which established the franchise during the John Barry days. Those appreciative of the good old-fashioned Bond soundtracks should feel at home with Casino Royale. This is how he manages to equal John Barry's charm using a different though extremely clever approach. Composer David Arnold melds soft electronics, minimal piano, and elegant string works in a way that provides us with an irresistible floating sensation. Casino Royale's finest quality is resourcefulness, every track containing originality and style.
