I have the TWINE Soundtrack, and I LOVE IT!!!! I think David Arnold is a promising composer. He did the music for TND (for which I'm still trying to find a soundtrack), Stargate (I love the main theme, it's powerful) and Independence Day. What do you guys think of his talents?

My TND soundtrack had to be reordered for the 3rd time, so I still; haven't got it yet!!!! I did get my TND DVD, and I LOVE IT!!!

I love TWINE too. Especially Caviar Factoy. They way it sounds exotic, and quiet, then there's a climax and the real fun starts. (doesn't sound very good, does it??!!!)

What's your favorite track???

Persian!! I loved the piece too. I managed to find it on Napster, so you may want to try there!! I'll try and find the name, I'll find it on my hard drive and spread the word :)

Surrender's the song over the closing credits of TND, yes?? I'm not sure about Scott Walkers song. You're right- it should be blown out of your seat 007 music at the end. But 'Only Myself To Blame' gives TWINE a more jazzy feel. Think of the Casino track. I think D.A.'s a genius!! The movie is elegant in it's own way- the MI6 Headquarters in Scotland, Elektra's clothes and Villa, the Casino. And it has the same formula on the soundtrack. A demented elegance, mixed in with harsh action.

I can't wait to get my soundtrack.

The only disappointment in the superb T.W.I.N.E. CD is that it doesn't include the blow-you-out-of-your-seat version of the James Bond theme that plays over the closing credits.
"White Knight" is my favourite track on the T.N.D. CD, with "Backseat Driver" a close second. Still trying to find the TND soundtrack with the extra tracks. Thought I'd succeeded a few weeks ago then discovered I'd forked out my hard earned for the soundtrack of the TNDVideoGame. D'oh!
On T.W.I.N.E. I agree completely about "Caviar Factory". Great Stuff!

Only Myself To Blame is a brilliant piece. But consider this, from who's perspective is it?

I saw your excitement about David Arnold, it s a very good composer.

I managed to extract from the TND DVD, all the music from the movie, and believe it s outstanding, you can't imagine what you are missing !

I also saw that someones where looking for the James bond theme at the end credit of TWINE, i have it if you want, send me an e-mail to [email protected] .

i am also trying to get the rejected score of goldeneye.

Welcome aboard level007.

I wasn't aware of such a thing.

in fact i don't know a lot about it.
You know i like film music, and i try to get some rare stuff sometimes, and i made some trade. Last month i saw the site of a guy who have plenty of rare score. Unfortunately none of the rare score i have interest him (or he already had them). SO i maybe send him an e-mail to buy it, but not now because i have some financial problem. If i get it in the future i ll tell it in the forum and make some mp3.
I a already have all the bond score, and i am trying now to have some very very rare stuff like this rejected score.

do you have some rare stuff about james bond music ?

Level007, if you mean the tank chase score that wasn't used in the film it can be found on the GoldenEye soundtrack. It's called "A Pleasant Drive in St Petersburg".

If you mean the theme in the trailer, join the club. I too would like that on MP3 or CD.

No, i don t talk about that, i talk about another score that was made by Lewis before Serra came on the project.

for the music of the trailer of goldeneye go to www.parodifair.com
and in the project look for "more trailer" and clik on goldeneye. the problem is that it s a secure song (but i think i find a way to conert it in mp3. i ll get you informed

I love the TWINE soundtrack.
My favourite tracks are 'Show Me The Money', 'Come in 007, Your Time Is Up' and 'Caviar Factory'. But by far, my favourite is 'Welcom to Baku'. I love it, its so atmospheric.

BTW Does anybody know why 'Only Myself to Blame', sung by Scott Walker, was dropped in favour of the James Bond theme for the end crdits. i'm not complaining about the choice, in fact, I prefered the latter of the two. I'm just curious as to why it was dropped. i also remember hearing that Alisha's Attic where singing the end title song. What ever happened to that?

Ive just watched "Nobody does it better:The Music of James Bond" made at the time of TND's post production. David Arnold remarks ruefully that, because of his other duties he didn't get the chance to play in the orchestra for the 'James Bond Theme". "Maybe next time" he says.
Anyone know whether he got the chance to fulfill the ambition during TWINE? For a Bond fan like D.A. it'd be such a buzz!

Yeah, it s David Arnold who is playing guitar during "come in 007, your time is up". it s very good

TWINE is very good
and i like the three track that follow "come in 007, your time is up", it s number 4,5,6. they are very "from russia with love for me", you know, this is what make a good spy movie. Bond is searching for info abot his mission(N

If your trying to get TND get from Amazon or something its fantastic Track 13 Backseat driver is superb, it's Dave's favourite aswell. If you haven't already got it, get Arnolds other album 'Shaken and Stirred' its amazing.

Arnold plays guitar? Nyeah, learn summat everyday.

As for rejected GE score, I heard about it, but I dont think it got as far as CD or tagging stage. It simply got written and dumped.

As for TWINE, I think trax2/3 make the best for an upbeat time. Y'know, eary morning, in the sun, slap on the CD, and you feel Bondian. Caviar Factory rings true as a great piece, but kinda rejects all Bond music. Theres a few, but never the less, an ace track.


BTW, I have both the European and UK TND albulms, but on cassette, I know there are other differences aside from about 6 trax, but are they CD differences only, as I cant seem to find others?


Oh, and that GE trailer at Parod-y-whatsymajiga doesnt work. N e 1 got a download they can put on the net?

Arnold's TND soundtrack is awesome. I've got the original score with the song by KD Lang and the remix of the Bond theme by Moby. I haven't been able to find the full score that was released as a special edition last year.

But yes listen to Backseat Driver and Surrender! Both excellent pieces!

I've got the TND Soundtrack for my birthday, but it's been ordered in and I have to wait til Saturday to pick it up!!

It sounds really good. I can't wait!!

Do you guys have the TWINE Soundtrack?? I love Caviar Factory. I usually skip the first minute of that track, and go to the bit where is builds up, and climaxes. David Arnold is a genius!!!

ON TWINE there's a movie trailer for CD-ROM. Does TND have something like that too?

Again well done on getting the TND soundtrack NJ. It doesn't have any extra features as the TWINE soundtrack did. Actually it may surprise a few people to find that not all soundtracks came with those extra features. I can't think which countries didn't get it but I believe one of the bigger ones (either the US or the UK) didn't get them! I read somewhere else that it an Australian special, but I personally can't confirm this.
