Just recieved and listened to CASINO ROYALE today. Holy Kritzerland,
Batman! What a listen! You fellas really did a number on this one - and
an utterly delightful number it is! I never thought this one would sound as
great as this cd, but here it is. I don't how James Nelson got it to sound this
stunning, but it's absolutely crystal clear without those annoying dropouts
and flutter that plagued the previous cd. I absolutely LOVE the resequencing
of the cues. Not to take away anything that Phil Ramone did for the LP, but
the new track order just makes more sense in narrative musical sense.
I really anticipated how the editing would segue from Big Cowboys and
Indians into the vocal end title, and it sounds perfect - like it should have
always been there. Anyway...Bruce, James....BRAVO!!!
That booklet is a real eye opener. Gorgeous, beautiful color layout.
PS. The Keystone Kops snippet made bust up.
