As the N64's third bestselling title, GoldenEye 007 needs no introduction. It's probably the most influential first-person shooter of all time, and still shows up in lists covering the best of its genre. The game's music sails through famous Bond themes and motifs with a cool, electronic edge suited to every step of spy work. A collaborative effort between Grant Kirkhope, Graeme Norgate and Robin Beanland, GoldenEye 007's soundtrack was one of the first to show the new capabilities of the N64. Unfortunately, I was unable to schedule interviews with Graeme or Robin, but Grant's back on The Sound Test to offer more of his insight!
