''Shaken and Stirred: The David Arnold James Bond Project'' is an album of cover versions of James Bond film themes organized and produced by David Arnold. Featuring contemporary rock and electronic artists of the time, it was compiled by Arnold in 1997 and released on East West Records in the United Kingdom and Sire Records in the United States. Following this project, Arnold would go on to compose the music for a number of Bond films. John Barry, the composer of many of the themes on the album, was complimentary about Arnold's interpretation of his work; "He was very faithful to the melodic and harmonic content, but he's added a whole other rhythmic freshness and some interesting casting in terms of the artists chosen to do the songs. I think it's a terrific album. I'm very flattered." A version of "You Only Live Twice" by Björk was recorded but not included on the album. It is available as a free download from bjork.com.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Special : You Only Live Twice )〕 Arnold had previously collaborated with Björk on the 1993 song "Play Dead". This arrangement was also recorded with Natacha Atlas and released in 1999 on the single One Brief Moment, produced by David Arnold. The Japanese release of the album also included an Orchestral version of "The James Bond Theme", which is identified as a "Bonus track for Japan". The album peaked at #11 in the UK Albums Chart.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=David Arnold - Shaken & Stirred )〕 Two singles were released from the album in the UK: "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" and "Diamonds Are Forever", which reached #7 and #39 in the UK Singles Chart respectively.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Propellerheads With David Arnold - On Her Majesty's Secret Service )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=David McAlmont And David Arnold - Diamonds Are Forever )〕 ==Track listing== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shaken and Stirred: The David Arnold James Bond Project」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
