The cue is 'Gobinda Attacks' on the OST, but it doesn't reflect what you hear in the film, so I've edited the track so it's screen accurate. The final cue took a bit of work: it uses part of 'Gobinda Attacks' as well as a BluRay rip of the Gun Barrel to get the correct orchestration and also a slightly pitched up and slowed down version of 'May Day Jumps' from the A View To A Kill OST for the be-bop section of the James Bond theme. I'm quite pleased with the result - I hope you are too :)

Nice! I was hoping someone would have tried :D
They really dialled down the music on that one. Hardly worth Barry scoring it.
I actually think that the score for AVTAK is really memorable and great. It also has a truly lush and beautiful love theme. It's one of the film's main strengths in fact. Barry was clearly moving on to the more modern sound showcased in the next film, TLD.
I LOVE this cue! Does anyone happen to have it?
You can hear it here:
Funny how John Barry basically recreated it on one of his own albums years later:
I would kill for a full, remastered MR score. Barry's finest hour, IMO.
SPECTRE:
1) Gunbarrel: I put this together using three sources -- an audio rip I found online of the Bond theme heard in the last scene of Skyfall, the film audio of Spectre, and that Guinness World Record featurette music track that was leaked back in the day. The results are virtually identical to the film audio.
2) Tempus Fugit (film version): I'd wanted to do this for a while. Using the Tempus Fugit OST track and the film audio of Spectre, I put together the music that plays when Bond and Madeleine escape from Blofeld's volcano lair. This took plenty of attentive listening, and a lot of crossfades to get around all the SFX, which I did successfully. I so wanted to have that part at 0:40, where Bond shoots at the gas valve, and that long note played on horns is heard a second time, unlike in the OST track. Considering the part with the flutes, I can only assume the Tempus Fugit track from the OST actually corresponds to the PTS helicopter fight (and in the film, the very end of the cue is replaced with another, unreleased cue). Accordingly, in my custom Spectre album, I have renamed that Tempus Fugit track to Helicopter Fight.
3) "Spectre Breaks Guinness World Record" featurette music #1 and #2: Apart from the gunbarrel music, the Guinness World Record featurette music track includes two short bits of music, which appear to come from the PTS, when Bond is chasing Sciarra on foot. The music there is just a variation of the Rome car chase music (named Backfire in the OST). I edited the bits of music of the featurette together with each other, and with the Backfire track, to give them a proper beginning and ending. This yielded two short tracks, quite similar to each other.
NO TIME TO DIE:
1) Gunbarrel (film version): I used a reverb plugin, along with the rear channels of the film audio, to recreate the long tail off of the Bond theme as heard in the film, and get rid of the scary synth chord heard only in the album. This was my second attempt at this track, after the first one proved unsatisfactory a few months ago.
2) Home (film version): This is the only cue on this list that includes SFX. It's the Home OST track, but replacing the part featuring Billie Eilish's voice with audio taken from the rear channels of the film audio. I had to apply some severe EQ to get rid of part of the ambient sounds (some sounds still remain), so this track sounds fairly dull in that section, but it's listenable. I present it in two versions, one with beginning and ending exactly as in the album version, and another in which the beginning and ending have been faded in/out. This is because my custom NTTD album features this track at the end of the album, at which point it would've sounded abrupt not to have fades bookending the track.
3) A Man Named Bond / We Have All the Time in the World: A clean rip of the WHATTITW instrumental, taken from the film audio and combined with the WHATTITW song taken from the OHMSS OST.
4) End Credits Suite: The end credits from the film. I applied a very subtle limiter to reduce some peaks in the audio and make the whole track sound a bit louder.

NEXT MONTH:
In time for Christmas I expect to release three more tracks -- not film rips but recreations using virtual instruments:
1) Music from the A View to a Kill PTS that plays after Bond spots the iceberg sub (an old request I'm honoring).
2) Gondola Chase from Moonraker (@DarthDimi, you're getting your wish).
3) My own Bond theme cover based on the GoldenEye 64 pause menu theme.
La-La Land Records is announcing their Black Friday soundtrack releases later this month. People are hoping a Bond score is among them. Not trying to get anyone's hopes up, but should they release Moonraker, I'll still do the Gondola Chase music, because it holds great sentimental value for me. Also, to make things more special and interesting, along with the full mix of the track, I'm going to release the individual audio stems of the track (one track where you can only hear the violins, another for the violas, another for the clarinets, etc.). So you will be able to study the arrangement in more detail at your will. This should make the effort worthwhile enough, even if an expanded OST is released.
That's all for now.
Too bad much of this soundtrack is a rehash from Skyfall; it was good in SF, old in SP.
You are a god among men, sir.
So, La La Land announce releases on Black Friday every year? Is it actually on the day? You've got my anticipation up for Moonraker now.
Two unreleased tracks I'd really love to listen to are "Q's lab/new watch" from Spectre (though it might be a difficult one to retrieve from the movie since there's a lot of talking in there. But then again mattjoes did some amazing miracles with the Home track even though it's a scene with a lot of talking, so maybe it IS possible) and "Vesper's grave" from No Time To Die (not the "Vesper's theme" reprise from Casino Royale, but the part before it when Bond walks the bridge and arrives at the cemetery).
NOBODY DOES IT BETTER THAN LA-LA LAND RECORDS...

Bulk, and mastered by Doug Schwartz, from original stereo digital tapes provided by MGM, this special release is limited to 5000 units and features exclusive, in-depth liner notes by writer Tim Greiving, which include new comments from the composer.

The fact that TND has now been released is hopefully a good sign that we might eventually see the jewel in the crown, an expanded Moonraker release?!?!
