    FANTASTIC!!! Lovely version. Too bad B.J. Arnau is such a forgotten artist.

    This is an instrumental arrangement of WHATTITW that I had never heard. It sounds very similar to the one on OHMSS OST, but it is not the same.

    It's the arrangement done by The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra I believe.

    Greetings - new here. I love and prefer the Radiohead entry for Spectre ... (they did a nice live take on this one, too.)

    And if you have Spotify, here's Bob Wayne's cover of Skyfall (reminds me of Johnny Cash's oiginal take on Thunderball)

    @Gerard I love that arrangement of Thunderball at the beginning of Volume Two.

    Found the two albums thanks to that one :

    It features a lot more than just Bond, though :

    @Gerard, I have the entire Ultra Lounge collection. If you're fan of jazzy stuff, the whole thing is for you. But, if you're not, and only want to go after Bondian stuff, go with The Crime Scene and Cocktail Capers.

    Those interested Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead is currently on BBC 6 music being interviewed by Matt Everitt and will be apparently discussing as well as the new RH album and their career, will be talking about their rejected SPECTRE theme.

    Too bad the producers didn't go with the Lara George version of SPECTRE. A great song.

    Producers don't care about what's good and what isn't. As long as it makes money, bad quality and out-of-place things play the part.

    I don't see why not?
    This is my favorite remix of Die Another Day.

    Recall this being a rejected song choice for Bond





    The next track is another Pulp track which sounds a bit more Bond... Worth a listen if you have not heard it previously it's pretty good.

    I still can't find Michael Ball's version, but here's Alfie Boe's take on "We Have All the Time in the World" :



    And Vic Damone's version :



    Still the best song ever written for a Bond movie. It should have gotten an Oscar.

    Which is why I believe academy awards have no credibility.

    Really not a fan of the flute, but otherwise great.
