Will Someone Ever Release This Soundtrack On CD ( Legally, That Is...)? by Davidp. (Jax. Florida)  3 Stars
February 15, 2009
This soundtrack album was from the space-age Disney update of '20,000 Leagues Under The Sea', and was meant to attract the large fanbase that 'Star Wars' had pulled in just two years prior. But with it's muddled plot, juvenile dialogue, complete lack of regard for the laws of science, and unsatisfying ending, it failed to connect with viewers or critics. The one thing the film did have going for it was the romantic score by John Barry with it's grand, swirling, and mysterious main title.
The album itself is very short by today's standards, and some of the tracks seem to be repetitive reworkings of the main theme ( "Zero Gravity", for example ), but it's still an enjoyable listen. Some of the pieces are quite evocative, such as the somber "Six Robots", and the occasionally eerie "Into The Hole".
Although the movie has been re-released on DVD twice - once by 'Anchor Bay', in a deluxe box that contained all sorts of extra stuff, and once by Disney themselves - Disney has never seen fit to release the music on compact disc. There is a commercial CD available, but it is technically an illegal Italian bootleg from a vinyl album ( albeit a very good transfer ) paired with Barry's soundtrack from "Howard The Duck". It is very rare and difficult to find. I don't own the movie, and don't really care to, but if some company would release a proper CD from the original master tapes, I would be all over that puppy ( particularly if it was expanded with previously unreleased music from the film ).
If you are a collector, I would reccommend picking up a copy of the soundtrack. It's another score ( like Barry's music for the 1976 'King Kong' ) that transcends the film it accompanied.

This sixth installment of the James Bond cycle was dogged by something more serious than mere creative hiccup: the departure of the iconic Sean Connery from the title role. If the film's strong screenplay and grittier, more realistic action sequences were a plus, the producers insistence on recasting Bond with another unknown (as Connery had been before Dr. No) was less sage; Australian model George Lazenby became an uncomfortable cinematic footnote and trivia subject after he, too, refused to...
