But it's still slightly different. Barry's is better.
Beats by Dope Demand did an album - with a mock-up of the Connery jet pack poster on the cover - that borrowed a bit of the bass for a track called Timber, which also borrowed from the Space tune in DAF. Brilliant track.
It's called '007 and counting'. It's my all time favourite Bond track. It's just immense.
I'd rather see Arnold try to work it into Bond 24.
And another idea of a kind of scene where it could work:
As usual, I do apologize again for the rough cut as I do not have anything apart from windows movie maker which is a "vesper" to work with.
[EDIT] apparently, @RogueAgent and me had the same idea ;)
Barry did re-record it in 1995 for the compilation album Moviola II: Action and Adventure. Who knows, if were available to do GOLDENEYE maybe he would have been interested in bringing the 007 theme back signaling the return of Bond in cinemas after a hiatus. Or maybe he wouldn't have, we'll never know.
it's been 15 years since we had the Bond theme used to highlight an action set piece in one of the movies..... thats sacrilegious
1. Modern audiences might not react well to its general old-fashioned sound.
2. It is difficult to see where it might fit in. I couldn't see a point in SP where it would fit well. The escape sequence maybe, I don't know.
Obviously that version of the song creates the wrong mood, or I associate it with another film, but man if the score of Spectre had been better it would be so much more watchable and definitely a lot higher in my ranking
Whoever composes next (because it better not be Newman, given how lazy his SP score was) must pledge to use the Bond theme to the same extent as Barry and Arnold or else bugger off.
I have to say that neither work in this clip.
Obviously with some fine tuning the Bond theme would work well but I can't say the same about 007 which I've really been that keen on. The TB version is the best but that has a whole crazy extra section which we never have in any other version.
Personally I think the OHMSS theme we got in the SP trailer was by far the best piece of music we got for the film and reckon that should've been used for the plane chase.
Too bad he never composed an updated version for his "Shaken and Stirred" project. Are there updated versions out there anywhere on the FaceTube?
Well I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.
SP is lighter by DC standards but it's not a Roger film. This piece of music just does not work I'm afraid. In the clip above at the climax of the sequence as Dan grits his teeth and the plane smashes through the chalet we get an accompanying piece of music that sounds more apt for a piece on Countryfile about sailing a canal boat in the Cotswolds.
