I saw his name in italics at the bottom of this thread earlier. He was obviously going to post something, but he logged off before sending it through.
He is a member of CBn? Really?

Pretty much my thoughts exactly. I'd like a new sound, but Arnold is like a a comfy old glove and I'd be worried that the new pair, although flashy and cool, would simply not be warm enough. Music is one of those things that could easily an otherwise perfectly decent flick.I´d love a new sound. I like Arnold, he´s a fan. And he has done some good work now and then. But if Mendes brings someone new for this one I won´t loose spleep over it. Anyway, is it strange that Arnold hasn´t been called yet? (if he hasn´t been called) Shouldn´t they be discussing the "tone" of the piece or something like that? Or is it too soon?

Don't forget his work on The Ghost Writer (aka The Ghost) which is how how I was introduced to his work.Arnold will probably return, though i'd rather we mix things up a bit and go for someone new.
Alexandre Desplat did some magnificent work on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, and on The Ides of March. Would love him to give Bond 23 a crack.

He wasn't talking about Arnold.

Is there any record that Forster tried to have him removed? I mean, maybe he was impressed enough by Arnold to keep him on-board. And the end result was not bad - QUANTUM OF SOALCE was easily one of Arnold's best scores.
I'm with Royal Dalton. If Marc Forster couldn't get rid of him when they axed all the regulars I doubt Mendes will.

Yep, though I'd argue a lot of that maybe down to Forster's influence on Arnold. Pushing him to his creative limits.

If that's the case, why can't Arnold keep going with that? I mean, I'd love to see "Inside Man" become Arnold's answer to Barry's "007 Theme".

Or Murray Gold for that matter, although It probably won't happen. The 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who is approaching, and Gold is pretty much tied up in that, and Series 7.
He's brilliant at integrating established themes though.

The words 'Murray Gold' and 'brilliant' don't belong in the same sentance; unless of course you like the idea of an over-loud, over-used and over-emphatic bosonova-style, 'Willy Wonka' soundtrack for the next Bond film?
To the uninitiated; this is the kind of I'm talking about:-

To be fair to the man, his music has improved since Moffat took over as showrunner but still; NO!
Personally I like what Arnold has done so far and I also like continuity of sound between films; if they really do want to start fishing for a new composer it should wait until Craig departs IMO - new lead, new approach, new sound.

I dunno. I would have thought Arnold would pre-empt any official announcement if he was out. Saying he's got other commitments, or whatever. Otherwise it'll look like he's been dropped.
I think he'll be back.
Arnold may be back, but it does seem odd that he doesn't know yet, and Bond 23 starts shooting within days.
In the past, Arnold has been onboard in pre-production, and has played around with ideas etc. during pre-production, but not this time.
I just have a gut feeling Mendes wants a fresh approach to the score.

I think that kind of thing suits the style of the show, though. He's capable of some great stuff.

I have to admit that I'm somewhat biased; as a long-term fan I have a love/hate relationship with the modern version of the show but I do honestly find his music too much - it often overwhelms what's happening on screen and tries too hard to tell the audience how it should be feeling.
Maybe I should just stick to my Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker DVD's.

You sure? I seem to remember Handy from "Journey's End", floaty Dobby-Doctor from "Last of the Time Lords", and the Doctor berating an elderly companion for making him save him from "The End of Time" to be far worse.It's just came to light with the Moffat era though. Series 6 was really just a massive letdown. I love Smith, but the writing really does let him down. Moffat has turned from an utter genius with his Series 1 - 4 scripts, into this really annoying and generic writer. I mean really? A Tesselecta? Ugh.

You are right, and of course, isn't it David Arnold? He tends to do the same with Bond. That's my only criticism of Arnold. He overscores. Watch the PTS of Die Another Day. On second thoughts....don't.

The Teselecta reveal, by comparison, rates a mere "Oh, that's it? Okay... now, what about this Trenzalore?", rather than a "Doctor, what the HELL are you doing? What-- I don't even..." *spluttering*. See the difference?
Even I'll admit this series' finale wasn't as good as last series', but it's nowhere near the level of ridiculousness we got before Moffat.
