The SKYFALL motion picture soundtrack features original score music by Thomas Newman. Newman is one of the most respected and recognized composers for modern film. He has scored over fifty feature films in a career which spans nearly three decades. Newman has received a total of ten Academy Award® nominations on such diverse scores as Road to Perdition, Finding Nemo, Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, Steven Soderbergh's The Good German and most recently, The Iron Lady and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. In my humble opinion, "Skyfall" is one of the best of the Bond movie genre. Although we could sit around all day and argue who is closer to the image of Ian Fleming's Bond, the answer, hands down, is Sean Connery who combined innate elegance with cold-bloodedness while omitting any hint of effeteness.

As with Skyfall, Thomas Newman has written the soundtrack. So we were expecting epic brass, moody sweeping themes and a fairly ridiculous amount of percussion. This is honestly the best use of the Bond theme we’ve had in our movies. It's so emotive that sound, and if you use it at the right point in the movie then everyone remembers ‘Yes, we’re in a Bond movie. Sam Mendes: 'the Spectre soundtrack is better than Skyfall'.
