David Arnold is a strange one - basically a golden era Hollywood theme composer in a time when everything else is a techno score or big orchestral glissandos (up on violins, down on brass) - often heard in Giacchino's LOST work.
his scores to Four Brothers, Shaft, Fast and Furious 2 and the 007 Scores have a lot of electronics in them, but you can still hear that big orchestra backing them up.
I cant wait to get into Arnold's James Bond stuff. I especially loved his work from Casino Royale, which i feel is his best score since Shaft.
