Hey Davy -- I finally got around to listening to these. Nice stuff. I love John Barry's work on the James Bond soundtracks, so this piece was cool to hear. And what a great album title!!
It's a great album Emmett - I would unreservedly recommend it if you like John Barry's work. It's big, expansive, lyrical - at times heartbreakingly sad. A kind of soundtrack to memories...
Yes, I heard the plaintive harmonica of Nocturnal NY again just yesterday as I walked through the subway (came up on shuffle on the iPod). Maybe I should delve a little deeper into the Barry catalogue generally. I know he wrote "Moonraker" and "All Time High" so he's already a legend in my books! Thanks for the tip on Beyondness...
