He's just replying to the podcast trailer, which uses his CR version.
I bet my hat Zimmer's done his version with Marr's guitar all over it.
Yeah, I think you're spot on @Univex
I'm not ashamed to say, as a longtime Bond music fan, I can quickly recognize just about every official cue ever written by ear. The episode uses a large collection of familiar score clips from throughout the series' history as backing, and even some trailer music.
BUT...
At the 7 minute mark, repeated around 29 minutes, and that epic Bond theme outro -- those are all 100% new material.
Given how liberally they used existing score throughout the rest, I don't think it makes any sense that they'd be using new music specifically produced for this podcast in those select spots. Particularly music that's as highly-produced as those bits seem to feel.
I think it's finally some Hans!
“You can also be the first to hear exclusive score from Hans Zimmer.”
Yes I presume it is (along with some Marr I guess); funnily enough it sounds quite Arnold-ish to me.
Shame they went with that slightly naff Bond theme re-recording to open it though! Where is that particular version from? It always pops up.
For a moment I thought the Bond theme on the outro was the piece from Skyfall when the helicopters turn up to catch Silva on the island, it sounds very similar to that as it has the guitar playing the vamp (the only time in the series I can think of..?). But then it adds the full guitar riff and that weird, Pink Panther-y ending.
What do you think it is? I can't place ever hearing those pieces before.
Bear in mind that just because it doesn't sound like Zimmer it may still be from NTTD: he won't have written all of the music to the film, and the stuff with Bond theme in may well be something he'd sub out as the melody is already there.
It does have a lot of his signatures but that means little in a world where there are so many copycats of him. It wasn't bad though, regardless! It sounds quite cool and confident. I look forward to more.
I must admit I can't hear any xylophone in either of the new bits. You're not talking about the Bond theme which opens the podcast are you? That's quite an old recording.
Listening again to the bit at 7mins in I really am struck by how like Arnold it sounds- with the breathy flute and everything: it's definitely not something unreleased from one of his films? But it does also seem to have a bit of Spanish guitar in there which I don't recall him using.

Tracklist:
The opening few seconds sound just like Spectres opening with the music coming through the production company before it hits. I honestly thought it was Spectres until mid gunbarrel
I must be honest and say I prefer the ones with the riff in, but it sounds big and punchy so I can't complain.
Can't wait to hear more of the rest!
Matera - Perhaps a long track? We seem to be getting some scenes of Bond and Madeleine in love. I imagine that's what this is. I do find it interesting this happens right after the gun barrel though; does this mean the Norway flashback isn't until later?
Message From An Old Friend - I believe the "old friend" is Safin. And it won't be a nice message for Madeleine.
Square Escape - This must be the action music for the Matera action set piece. It will end with Madeleine on the train and her and Bond breaking apart.
Someone Was Here - Hmm... maybe this is when Primo and Safin's men break into that building?
Not What I Expected - Bond finds Felix, and they have their meeting scene in Jamaica?
What Have You Done? - Something to do with Safin I think. Either Madeleine questioning him or him questioning her is my guess.
Shouldn't We Get To Know Each Other First - Hmm... is this when Bond and Nomi meet one another? That or when Bond and Paloma meet is my thinking.
Cuba Chase - An action sequence with Bond, Paloma, and Nomi all present.
Back To MI6 - Bond returns after all the stuff that went down in Jamaica and Cuba. He has "come back to play" after Felix and Paloma are killed by Logan.
Good To Have You Back - Perhaps this is the scene Bond reunites with M, Moneypenny, and/or Q.
Lovely To See You Again - I bet this is when Bond interrogates Blofeld. An intense, good scene hopefully, where Blofeld helps MI6 out as Safin is his enemy now too.
Home - The old house of Madeleine Swann's... perhaps they are here because of some clue they received?
Norway Chase - The epic action sequence in the greens. Really excited for this one! Ends unfortunately with Madeleine taken by Safin...
Gearing Up - The final push begins! Bond, Nomi, and whoever else (Q?) prepare and set out to stop Safin and rescue Madeleine.
Poison Garden - Garden of Death!!! The YOLT influence surely must be here. As we've all suspected, Safin uses biological warfare.
The Factory - An important section of Safin's hideout. I imagine a long, action sequence around this time?
I'll Be Right Back - Bond tells this to Madeleine. But the truth is... they likely will never see each other again!
Opening The Doors - Bond going into a room to face Safin for the final time. He strangles the villain to death with his bare hands. The hideout will soon be blown up...
Final Ascent - I find it interesting the word "ascent" is used here. I really don't think Bond is going to die at the end as many have speculated. He either is presumed dead or just flat out escapes - believe it!
No Time To Die - Billie Eilish's title track, of course!
