John Barry Did You Call Me ( The Specialist Original Score)

John Barry Did you call me (The Specialist Original Score) 1994 The Specialist exists somewhere between John Barry s seminal music for the James Bond franchise and his sultry, jazzinspired efforts on Body Heat; a taut, palpably atmospheric work much too sophisticated for the tawdry romantic thriller it accompanies, the score nevertheless remains a favorite among Barry enthusiasts, perhaps because it suggests what the composer might have wrought had he remained a part of the Bond series. Eschewing the richly textured strings that are the signature sound of Barry s lateperiod efforts, The Specialist hones his music to a fine point no other film composer employs brass so vividly or inventively, and the melodies ripple with suspense and sexuality. While absent the sheer excitement of Barry s most memorable scores, The Specialist still manages to recapture the spirit of his classic thriller music, reminding a generation of acolytes that nobody does it better.
