David Holmes is a great DJ - he recently did the brilliant soundtrack for "Oceans 11"

His version of the Bond tune is called "radio 7" and you can find it on his '97 album "Lets Get Killed" on Go! Beat Records. CHECK IT OUT!

AudioGalaxy had a block on the song, and WinMX couldn't find it at all.:)

It's also on the "James Bond Hits" CD from 1997.

Cheers for the hint, RITZ, I managed to download an unblocked version from audio galaxy, and I may just buy the album, although the remix isn't brilliant, when the beat kicks in it sounds promising, but then it just tails off and gets less interesting.

I'll buy the CD off amazon now I think, tanks again, Ritz!

Does it start the 'usual way'? Or does he arrange it totally differently?

Well said Tanger, it's possible the worst mix i've ever heard, it doesn't go anywhere, and it's very tame drum n' bass. Actually, the version featured on the DAF single is the original that LJ Bukem remixed.

Talk about butchery...:)

Thanks for the tip RITZ. I'm always looking for new and different versions of the Bond theme.
I'll definitely try and check this one out.


If you like drum 'n bass, check out the '97 album "Shaken And Stirred - The David Arnold James Bond Project". It has a Bond cool theme featuring DJ LTJ Bukem.

This track is well worth hearing. It has a lot a bongo drums in it and has a great jazzy feel and the guitar solo for the main Bond theme is great.

I've already got this CD and to be honest, I think this versions pure [cuss]. I much prefer the version that was on the Arnold/McAlmot DAF single.
