Only if the ladder climbing portion can be called “Snake Eater”
I didn't know about this release, thanks for the information.
Haven't heard about this. There's a vinyl for Zimmer's demos of the score?

Legend!
I remember these synth "alarm sirens" when Bond is surrounded on the bridge. I wish they were on the album.

We should add the times of the music on your list to the TRT of the album and get a TRT of all the music on the film (excluding diegetic music).

It's an edit of the 'Gun Barrel' track and 'Back To MI6' from the No Time To Die OST. It's not perfect, but elongates the theme a little, which some of you may appreciate :-bd
Good idea, well done!

I wish the gunbarrel on the album did not end with those sustained synth notes. I think they are not heard in the film.

Did you use the end of "Back to MI6"? If so, you are a clever and resourceful man.
I think another potential approach would be to rip the audio from the film, feed a segment containing only the ambient sounds of the opening scene to a noise filter plugin, to get their noise profile, and then use the learned noise profile to filter the ambient sounds of the last bit of the gunbarrel music, as ripped from the film. And then put the whole thing together. Could be worth a try.
Can you tell us a bit more? What didn't you like about it? I don't know Romer's music myself.
Just incredibly bland US TV stuff, which doesn't even seem to suit what's going on onscreen (and I know in a TV show his stuff may have been edited in, but you'd think he'd have scored the pilot) and doesn't lift the material at all. There's a theme apparently, but I didn't notice it.
I watched the entire first season as well (big Superman fan) with an ear constantly focused on Romer's work. I was interested by the sound he created for Superman's world, but yes, it all seemed like a major step away from the cinematic impact we're used to from the music of Williams and Zimmer behind the character.
The "theme" I think they're referring to is more of a brief motif, and Romer/the show purposely (?) never allows it to really have a glorious Superman-defining moment beyond the 5-second opening title card with the 'S' shield.
I wasn't disappointed by his work, and I thought it brought a certain sense of ambience to Superman's music that we haven't seen embraced quite as much in the past, but overall I can't say it was very memorable or impactful.
I was similarly surprised at the time. I figured, they're just rolling the dice on him and trusting Fukunaga. Maybe it was even a favour returned to CJF in exchange for something else he conceded on the project. (Or "Hey, Sam Mendes got to bring in his owncomposer, why can't I?").
I really poured through Romer's work when he was first brought on B25, and aside from a few brief action moments in the FarCry game, I honestly didn't hear much (anything?) else that felt suited to Bond. Zimmer's arrival was such a relief to me, in part because I was already such a massive fan. And the eventual score we got...well, I can't imagine anything else there honestly. Just adore it.
So I'm sad for Romer that he missed the opportunity -- seems like a terrific guy. But I wouldn't trade the Zimmer NTTD score for anything. Just a perfect musical finale to James Bond, at least, as far as my own tastes in 007 scores are concerned.
I think he had done some rough sketches and suites, to give a general mood for the film, themes etc.
I would suspect, had he have ultimately done the score, we wouldnt have the Eilish song in the film in the way it is used with Zimmer.
I assume so too. There must have been something done for them to base the replacement off of.
I’d agree, apart from the obvious OHMSS elements it wasn’t very Barry at all.
Definitely. I'll Be Right Back also has elements that are a lot like the Batman trilogy, but it's still one of my favourite tracks in the film.
I also enjoy that track. But you're right. It does sound right out of the trilogy.
No Time to Die's score has that distinct Zimmer sound, and I could have known right away without even seeing his name.
