While Marvin Hamlisch is a first-rate, all-round arranger and a good composer, it's two tracks of his that did it for me. One is the title song to the Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), the other is Bond 77 from the same. In the first, Hamlisch mixed arpeggiated, sliding chromaticisms and a depth of melodic counterpoint, with some luxurious 70s arranging and production work. In Bond 77, the British spy went 'disco' in a long and exciting action music sequence with Barry brass blasts at just the right moment. Wonderfully paced and very exciting, his is music of silk and diamonds.
