I think including a bit of old music playing on a radio may be pushing it, especially since Kamen didn't write it.
whoa! harsh you could apply that definition to the wagner
bit.
Discs seem pretty full, perhaps there wasn't room? And something like the wedding march was more important so it got priority.
Yes, it seems the film tracked in part of the cue "Planting the Explosives" for that scene up until Bond wakes Lupe with the knife to her neck. I like both, but I can see why they made that choice. The "Planting the Explosives" cue is exceptionally atmospheric and dark.
Oh, so that's where it comes from! Good find!
I think they made the right call here. The Chariots Of Fire interpolation would have made an already quite cheesy scene (the slo-mo running) even worse :D
I think you're spot on! Listening again, it sounds like they spliced the triplets at the start of the Mendelssohn with the Wagner cue. The former unfortunately isn't on this LLLR release, so we can't make our own edit. Never mind!
"Let's Go Shark Hunting" goes unused.
There are countless instances where they made cuts to tracks that would have otherwise have gone on longer, or begun sooner. Notably "Uncle Q" has a comedic little bit of "Rule Britannia" that was probably best left out.
"Framing Krest" is another track that is hard to reconcile with the film music. I think it's another "Bond Aboard" situation, from around 3 and a half minutes in.
"Bond and Lupe" - a different take? I had trouble matching up the little arpeggios and variations.
"Q in Disguise", also unused.
I had a lot of trouble with "The Lab / The Process". Couldn't follow along at all with what plays on-screen.
"Truck Chase" more divergences from around 2 minutes.
Phew!
Here's a thing I've never noticed until today: the film version of the song is missing the backing singers repeating 'to kill' in the chorus after Gladys sings the title. I'm sure everyone else knew that but I'd never noticed it before.
You mention GF was pretty much complete. It isn't. There's about 10 minutes of music missing. Someone "reconstructed" these and posted them on YT.
- FYEO (Divers Approach, unreleased)
- LTK (You Earned It, at 2:12). I never heard it in the movies because of the sound effects, but it's there).
That's 3 John Williams references if you count Close Encounters in MR. That's what I call an influential composer.
absolutely go along with that ,i think also there's a case to be made for jerry goldsmith ,listening to those klaxon like horn blasts in NTTD'S trk "message from an old friend" (FILM VERSION) reminds me a lot of the horn blasts in PLANET OF THE APES trk "the hunt".
