The introduction of Pierce Brosnan as James Bond also heralded a change in the traditional Bond soundtrack. Eric Serra was hired to produce a Bond soundtrack for the 90's, and it is certainly unique, but somewhat controversially, this is the only Bond score not to feature John Barry's famous sequence at all.

I'm glad to say I was very pleasantly surprised by 'Rock is Dead'. Then when the familiar sound of 'Spybreak' came on, and brought back memories of the fantastic fight scenes from the movie, I was hooked. This album may not be what you'd be used to listening to, but the mix of styles is a refreshing break. ...
