If you went for David Arnold's Shaken and Stirred compilation, and have a taste for a little experimentation with your cover albums, this is just maybe up your alley. Makes a fun if odd companion to the more mainstream Somewhere in Time Barry cover compilation just out from BSX.

For me, the only possible reason to buy this album is the nice picture of Daniela Bianchi.

Good post, Mitch, seriously! It's easy to just reject something that's not in one's own wheelhouse, but it's actually fun to read a post that says, not for me, Hell no, and here's why - without just dismissing it out of hand. I don't mind that you hate it, and I'm glad you gave it a try.
Here's why I love this kind of thing. Here's a musician from a different world entirely, and he's so inspired by a film composer that he devotes a whole album to thoughtfully considered covers - bringing Barry's music into his sound world. The only fair way to judge this music is on its own terms - and these are very thoughtful covers, paying deeply close attention to Barry's originals and then interpreting them as it suits the artist.
This is how art communicates with art and how musicians are more interconnected than ever before, and bless their hearts for it.

I love this album far more than the endless and unnecessary re-recordings by whatever orchestras. You also learn from listening to it how good practically any John Barry tune sounds played on an electric guitar. Some of it is over the top, some inappropriate, but what does work works really well.
