, and before Madonna got the gig:(, I was constantly plugging them for it, and it is now my mission to get EON to let them do Bond21:). As you may or may not know they apparently sent a demo song for TWINE to EON - which incidently appeared on their album synkronized, with the title Destitute Illusion. How close this is to the Bond tune they submitted is unkown.
Back in February at a gig at the Manchester Evening News arena (where I met them;).) They had done an interview with a fan for MTV show fanatic. In the interview there was a little snippet concerning Bond - Ive finally got a recorded copy - so here it is. btw for those who don't know JK is jamiroquai's front man.
Interviewer- I'm a big James Bond fan.
JK- ah good.
Interviewer - and Ive always thought you guys should do a Bond theme.
JK- do you know it man! I mean, you know, Ive got all the Bond albums at home, all the albums of the original music...
Interviewer- yeah
JK-...some of that stuff its so romantic, and so lovely, you know 'From Russia With Love'... I would want to do a more 'traditional' theme, but 'they' don't want that these days.
There you have it, a global multi-million selling act who wants to do a Bond theme. An act who love Bond, they know their stuff, they're fans and they're enthusiastic. They've shifted more records worldwide than any other UK act in the last ten years minus Oasis, and they aren't going to cause the mayhem madge has, and they certainly wont quibble about poxy cameo roles. They're quality musicians and JK is a superb songwriter.
What do you people think - do they sound like an act who could pull it off, they've got the skill, they've got the knowledge, they've got the fans, they've got the crediility, they're enthusiastic and they want to go 'Traditional'.
