Disco version of Moonraker is one of the best disco song, so melodic, so soft, so gently...so clever too!!!!!And also Sjirley's voice make me so relaxed...what more? The guitar responses are so "galactical";-)
I personally think this soundtrack really captures that late 70's feel that this film really gives off. It's got the synth/pop sounds that Moroder pioneered, along with Seventies sophistication with Shirley Bassey. Fantastic!
This version of the song is fantastic! I actually enjoy Moonraker despite all its warts - I remember when it came out it was a huge movie and despite the boatloads of humour, visually it has actually stood the test of time quite well. Watch this movie along with Superman (another big budget hit at the same time) and you'll understand what I mean. The timing was perfect in the wake of Star Wars - I'm not sure when they could have done this film other than when it was done.
Fantástica versión de una de las más hermosas canciones de la saga. Moonraker es quizá la película que lleva al extremo la faceta humorística del personaje de Bond, hasta rozar la parodia en algunos momentos... pero es entrañable, y en muchas cosas, una de las mejores. Soy un fan de la serie y, para mí, James Bond siempre será Roger Moore... en mi opinión, Daniel Craig no es Bond, es un burdo matón sin clase.
As frustrating as MOONRAKER is, this is still a damn good song. One of their best. Got to hand it to Shirley Bassey and that hauntingly powerful voice of hers.
It also made loads of money in 1979 and was a commercial success. Fact is it wasn't until Goldeneye in 1995 some 16 years later, when a James Bond movie made more money. And that wasn't with inflation and rising ticket prices included.
Roger Moore always said he never took James Bond as a serious or even realistic character the way he was written and thus played him that way. What people forget is that if not for Moore the whole Bond genre might have died out with the 60's.
the last of the great bond movies died when they hired Daniel craig to play james bond. now 007 is just another hired gun instead of the suave, sophisticated secret agent we all have come to love.
Those 16 seconds haunt me. I can't explain it. I wish they would go on for another 4 bars. What an EPIC 16 seconds - It's a haunting piece of music on it's own but with the disco beat - Somehow it becomes more menacing and urgent. TICK THIS POST IF IT EFFECT YOU IN THE SAME WAY!!
Moonraker is a very underrated title song and this disco version is awesome. Shirley is very Melodic in this song and I think it really shows off her talents. LOVED IT!!!
You can listen to the original version from that sick tune at... Search "Moonraker at ISS in Orbiter" on youtube and listen to 1:50 and 3:50.... I think you'll like it.
yes it is, because its more believable, I mean, if you imagine a war in space, its going to be like a war on earth. Only the soldiers will be with space suits and lasers, as in the film. I do like star wars, but its a bit far fetched.
Not to sound sarcastic but Fleming didn't plan Moonraker as a movie. He died long before when From Russia With Love came out. It was Albert Broccolli and the other guy who decided to go with the new Sci fi craze. I hope I didn't come off as mean...
This disco version fitted nicely at the end of the film, I love Moonraker it's the only Bond film to transport me to a different world, amazing, romantic and top notch!!
