Yeah, the beginning is totally QoS.
DAF score is ridiculously good.
The synth flute and the guitar are so pleasing to the ear. I love how they switched a few notes of the guitar melody.

One of my favorite Bond soundtrack covers. Roland Shaw was always knocking these out of the park. Love how the guitar decides to stick around for the B-section (0:54).
This isn't a Bond song but it's David Arnold. The intro is unbeatable, an injection of Bond directly into the vein. I like this alternative version without the beat. Björk's voice is a tad too high-pitched for me, but she can sure as hell sing.
This version of Thunderball really grew on me over the years. I love those piccolos at 3:35.
Love this version of Propellerheads' OHMSS, great companion piece to the main version. So much fun to hear all those orchestral flourishes by themselves.
Highlights for me: The really low guitar early on, and the part at 4:00 where we can hear the strings by themselves. Of the many mixes of this theme, this is only one I know where that is the case. That part is very 90s.
Love 0:57.
I love the whole track, but I especially appreciate the short string phrases at 3:00. The music in that part conveys the feeling something is spiralling out of control.
OHMSS from Shaken And Stirred sounds different to whats on the Album unless I am mistaken? was that an unreleased track?
Yes, it sounds different. It's only the orchestra, no percussion or synths. It's the cleverly titled Orchapella version, not included on Shaken and Stirred, only on the single.

Play Dead fits Spectre quite well.
I love the "woodwindy" sound of this version of DAD by the Las Vegas International Philharmonic. Though my favorite part is at 1:17. And halfway through, the piece turns into a fugue for a few bars!
Pretty good, Arnold was one of the highlights of PB's era for me I frequently listen to his scores.
I can visualize walking into a Jazz Bar whilst this was playing, its pretty cool.
I love this version.
I still like to listen to the original mix of the Bond theme from the LALD OST. I enjoy its "flatter" sound and the fact its pitch is ever-so-slightly lower.
My man Rich Douglas delivering the goods with a high-quality orchestral take on the music of the TWINE video game. I love the first track, sheer awesomeness, especially those short phrases on low brass and strings.
Just treated myself to a Sound Blaster GC7 for my birthday, listening to the GE Score (HD version) on my PC from my collection wow this sounds amazing. I do appreciate this Score more as time passes its unique within the series.
I have posted this before though i often revisit this performance, Ren really is good. These songs are not easy to sing live.
John Barry at his very best.
I'm paraphrasing, but David Arnold did say something in an interview about the B-section of YOLT (and love is a stranger...) being kind of uncomfortable to sing.
That brass at the beginning is so satisfying. I like the piano that replaces the harpsichord in the last part.
1:04 to 1:16 is heaven.
Now this:
It's very nice and heartwarming. Very dynamic too; it's always shifting between highs and lows, loud and quiet, dense and sparse. And the thick sound of the finger cymbals at the center of the mix.
You know? It reminds me a bit of Statue Dance from Deadfall. Emotionally, they are aiming for different things, but there are similarities.
All great tracks above, Guys. I'm really enjoying this last one at the moment. Sounds like what David Arnold would have done, if he remixed Barry's stellar TLD score.
That part of this live performance always stands out for me, Ren handles that moment very well I like what she does with the lyric.
I always thought JB's AVTAK score belonged to a much better film, though I do like Sir Rogers last outing it is littered with problems.
Excellent I listened to that yesterday, I subscribed to the channel after you posted tracks from there previously.
I am still hoping Arnold will return, probably unlikely now though who knows.
QoS is the latest soundtrack I listened to a after hearing all of the Bond soundtracks again... this one soundtrack has aged well to stand the test of time. In most soundtracks you could just hear echos of the time period too much that it can become trite sometimes.
The Conjure One song is such a loss in lieu of how producers wanted to get hip new artists to do the songs often
QoS is one of my favorite scores, I think its Arnold's best.
Arnold would have no doubt included a lot of nods from the past 50 years in a 50th Anniversary score.
I was listening to SF score yesterday, I like the first part of the Album up to the track The Chrimera. As soon as Silva appears I lose interest in the film and the score.
I am not a fan of Newman generally speaking, a lot of his work in movies falls a bit flat for me.
From the first few seconds....you can imagine Bond having shot someone or getting shot and the repercussions or emotional consequences thereof from the event.
And then there's the theme of Bond's perseverance factor running well into the middle and end of the song....we really missed out on that.
@dramaticscenesofQOS was David Arnold supposed to work on the song too? Conjure One, like Enigma & Era are great groups, but surely those aren't the sort of groups one immediately thinks of when Bond comes to mind. But with Arnold involved, it can become Bondian.
