ABOUT THE ALBUM: For the first time in history an album composed solely of new arrangements of the classic James Bond-film music get’s a release!
Arild Brøter, known from progressive rock band «Pymlico», unveils a groundbreaking musical endeavor with the release of «A Spectre Of Sounds» - an instrumental rock album that reimagines the timeless James Bond music in a bold and electrifying way. There has been countless James Bond-albums released over the years - in almost every genre imaginable - but the vast majority of them include only the title songs, and give the rest of the film music very little attention. This is one is different! On this album, Arild has skipped most of the title tracks. He has been digging deeper and meticulously taken apart the actual scores and the music used in the films and rearranged them in new clever ways. 60 years of tone-setting music from one of the biggest film franchises that has ever
existed has been transformed into new fresh electric instrumental rock tunes.
The new arrangements seamlessly weave together the sophistication of Bond’s world with the dynamic and exhilarating spirit of rock music. Listeners can expect a sonic experience like never before, as
Arild injects new life into these familiar pieces of music, transforming them into powerful instrumental rock masterpieces - yet at the same time keeping both the grandness of the originals and the typical
James Bond vibes alive. The album’s production quality and attention to detail underscore Arild’s commitment to delivering a fresh perspective on the beloved classics.
Arild has been a lifelong James Bond-fan and has been obsessed with the James Bond-music from an early age. The idea for this album has been in the back of his head for at least 15 years. To release
this album is really a dream come true! 19 musicians helped him to make this dream possible, among them being Bjørn Riis from «Airbag», Ole Michal Bjørndal from «Caligonaut» and Arild’s band mates
from «Pymlico».
«A Spectre Of Sounds» is set to be released by Apollon Records, September 6, 2024, on double vinyl, CD and digital.
Arild Brøter (b. 1987) is a Norwegian musician, songwriter and bandleader. He has released seven albums with instrumental rock band «Pymlico» to great acclaim in the prog rock community. Since the age of nine, one of his biggest passions has been everything associated with the James Bond film. Arild comments: «I have long since lost count of the times I have seen the movies or read the books. I have visited film locations and met actors, actresses, and staff from the film series. I have been part of fan clubs and made some of my best friends in the fan community. I have immersed myself in books, documentaries, and podcasts about the subject.
Being a musician, I have, of course, developed a big passion for the music from the films.»
