    I enjoyed that, good arrangement. I like the harpsichord, and the instrumental break with the guitar, the vibraphone and the guy strumming the string instrument.

    Auditorium looks nice too.

    Very underrated track, I think there not great working relationship with JB may overshadow there contribution.

    Wholly amazing these expressions of Bond music exist and endure. Unbelievable greatness.
    This is great. Still wish they would occasionally tackle tracks not on the albums.

    I wonder if it's a rights thing.

    Probably. Maybe harder to transcribe.

    None other Bond song gets played so much on the radio.

    Excellent I wish there was an expanded Moonraker score, not sure if there is one available.

    Well, there is this. And there's more on the same channel.

    Because of the Q The Music Show cover, I was listening to Hip's Trip. The end (when Bond escapes from the boat) is really cool. There are a lot of things going on, but it's very enjoyable:

    -A descending string/woodwind phrase that is repeated three times on progressively lower octaves.
    -"Machine gun" brass harmonies that are played in a pattern of six sixteenth notes, followed by a pause, followed by five more sixteenth notes, the first of which is omitted by the trumpets.
    -Woodwinds and brass playing rising sixteenth note phrases which move up the E melodic minor scale, and which are heard at the same time as the machine gun brass harmonies, much like the typical descending phrases at the very beginning of the gunbarrel music.
    -Harmonies heard in the form of sustained notes, and played on brass in the first half of each bar.
    -Harp glissandos.
    -Bass drum hits.

    And what chord is this section built on? E minor major 9th. Yes, the typical Bond chord, the one played on guitar at the end of the Bond theme.

    Just stumbled across this on YouTube, quite a nice but in places different Bond themes medley arrangement by the WDR (Western German Radio) orchestra:

    First time I have seen this, I really liked it. Its such an honor I think for artists to contribute to the world of Bond. They are immortalised.

    Quantum of Solace End Credits

    I love this film, Arnold was on fire. I wish this track was on the movie score.

    Me too. Love the film and of course, the stellar score by David Arnold. Sure this track is great. A nice variation of Inside Man.

    I am watching LTK now I tend to gravitate toward the more gritty Bond's. QoS is the last great Bond film for me.
