Thank you so very, very much for that. Wow... I mean, I've been looking for that piece for 20 years! And listening to it last night, it brought up this *volcano* of emotion and memory for me. It really uncorked a huge *THING* that had been lurking inside of me. It's so woven in with my memories and feelings from that part of my life, it's shocking.
...and foreshadows the majestic, soaring sound of Dances With Wolves.
John Barry is really one of the most amazing artists of our time - He has been so very special to me for SO LONG. You're right about the Dances With Wolves thing. I think that's one of the many things about this piece that grabbed me by the neck an shook me. But this is also one of the pieces that stands out as exceptional in the department of "making the moment" - It so very much makes that whole scene. The soundtracks to Somewhere in Time and Out of Africa did the same thing, but I hadn't quite gotten that in his Bond music before this. And then, later, came Dances With Wolves. I'm too distracted (I'm at work) to properly verbalize what I'm trying to say here...
On another note (ha ha), I think the "Bond sub-theme" (Inflight Fight) from this movie is one of my very favorite Bond themes ever - Even more than some of the themes from the early years (and there were a couple I really loved.)
