Music that sounds like from a Bond movie

It's too sad the the collection of Bond tunes and similar sounding music has disappeared with the old forums.
Maybe it is time to start it again? I don't know if it exists already, but I heard this song worth listening to for a bit of Barryesque reverie:

Sparkle Up - The High Llamas (from the Album "Hawaii")

    I've mentioned this in a similar thread, but Tom Petty's "All or Nothing" gives me the "James Bond" feeling. Even the title sounds like a Bond movie to me. ;)

    Michael Giacchino's entire Incredibles score. (He took over work for John Barry when he left the project).

    Here's a trailer from The Incredibles that was unreleased but the score was when Barry was going to do the movie. Giacchino's score is very Bondish for good reason

    John Powell still puts my thumbs up for a future James Bond score. This track is masterfully composed and conducted. It is a pure suspense track that builds up slowly to one hell of a climax. It skillfully blends modern electronic tunes with Bond-ian strings. A bit like John Barry in 'The Living Daylights':

    U2's Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me is the great Bond theme that never was.

    The Rolling Stones' classic Gimme Shelter would have made a great theme.

    Listen to Michael Buble's Cry Me a River, Feelin' Good and the opening of Georgia On My Mind - it's the Bond theme. They're all very Bond-Ian. You have to watch this Buble' QoS opening. It fits well!


    I'm not sure if it would work as a Bond song, but there is a recent song that has a music video influenced by the style of a Bond TS here:

    I don't know if this includes the score throughout the film as well, but in Hot Fuzz, when the main character, Sgt. Angel, strolls back into town on a horse, he's shot at by the citizens of the village. The music when he's ducked behind a fountain, under fire sounds almost exactly like it came from Casino Royale.

    No, it's just after that, when he's under fire and pinned behind the fountain.
