The James Bond Theme is one of my most favourite pieces of music. The other day I was scouting the track samples at amazon.com and came across a group named 'Proteus 7' who had an album entitled "For Your Ears Only". I immediately read a review and saw that the group had a superb "brassy/Bondy" sound.
Anyway, I clicked the link and he theme began to play. It sounded superb, apart from what sounds like an aeroplane and someone fly-fishing in the backgroud.
I was dismayed at this and when I clicked the link for the 007 theme, I found the case was the same. I could hear what appears to be a robot (odd!).

Does anyone own this album or have the above mentioned tracks (I especially wanted the 007 theme as I am currently working on a mix) and could they tell me whether this is the case on their album or amazons way of saying "Stop nicking our samples!"

For those of you who want to hear what I am talking about, click the link or go to amazon.com and type in Proteus 7 on the search and find the album.

Heres their version of the 007 Theme.

I listened to a few other of the tracks and the didn't seem to have this kind of interruption. They also sound pretty good aswell.
I might get the album if it turns out that the background noises are just Amazon being annoying #@*!s

oh, and thanx Tanger007
their trumpets play a good Bond theme. I just love the brassy trumpets, Like in TND, I just loved that music!


I like the 'brassy' sound too. The only complained I have is about those awful sound effects in the background.

Why, oh why, would anyone want to ruin a track like that. Albeit, on the odd occasion it may work well, but here...the darn things ruined!
I wish they'd done it without the effects.
