How DARE you...! I thought they sounded ok, pretty similar to other Adele songs from what I've heard. Just feel it's got good depth, that's all.

[The Shark]

No where near as powerful or professional as the vocals on Rolling in the Deep.

[byline]

Wow, I love this! I can so see Daniel Craig with this song. (Hubby loves it too, so it gets two thumbs up from our household!)

Right behind you on that.

From someone who can remember seeing "From Russia With Love" in the cinema, I really like this theme song for "Skyfall." It is definately a mood-setter.

[bnz]

Change the lyrics and get rid of the backing vocals and I'm happy as can be .

That brings it to the point for me. Both thing are utterly annoying about the song. The rest is fine really.

Does any one how many Tracks on the Skyfall-Single?

Just the one track which is the song.

[JCRendle]

I'd have thought they'd have to 4.50 version and the radio edit.

[Berni99]

Ive heard from a Skyfall Remix, could this Version on the Cd?

[JCRendle]

Where did you hear about a remix already? I'm wondering if they're going to be releasing the film version, because that will be shorter than the full version and the radio version. The radio version is about 3.50 mins, title sequences are usually about 3.10 give or take.

"Skyfall" enters UK singles chart at number 4. Not bad for two days of sales. Hopefully can push onto number 1 next week.

For anyone taking notes: Rihanna, Psy and One Direction took the top three positions.

Me too. Only it was a rerun in '79 or so.

I feel extremly young now

Its sad that the young generation doesen't have that interest in Bond as old generation's did, Among my age group I know very very few people who have that interest in Bond that I do

Anyone who has been watching Sky Movies 007 in the UK will have seen this advert:




Notice the gunbarrel at the end? Is this a sneak at the one in SF? Apologies for the poor video; it was the only one on YouTube i could find.

So do I now

Only seeing 'Die Another Day', 'Casino Royale', and 'Quantum Of Solace' in the theater.

Great thing I have all of them on DVD now though.

I'm happy with it and now have it stuck in my head. It's in the top half at the moment, and reminds me a little of the TWINE theme, especially the final 40 seconds.

Adele has done the job for us, I think, and I can't wait to hear it over the titles sequence.

[DamnCoffee]

Anyone seen this?



The Audio Tags are a bit off putting, but it's pretty nice.

[x007AceOfSpades]

I agree, it sounds nice. besides the audio tags...

I've seen every single one in a cinema - the first ten in the same cinema which, inevitably, no longer exists. I think it's a shame that younger audiences have been denied, save for the occasional showing, a view of the Connery/Lazenby/Moore/Dalton films as us old codgers remember them.

[DaveBond21]

Adele is No.4 in the Official UK singles chart, meaning that only Duran Duran (No.2) and Madonna (No.3) have done better, so far.

Madonna's song get some unnecessary hate... I really liked it at the time, it set the mood of the beginning of the film. Slightly different and more of a pop song of course.
I understand most of the older generation dislike it ( I know some younger fan dislike it as well!) or even the idea of madonna doing the song, but hell I think it wasn't too bad.

As for the Adele song, its not perfect, but I really like it, it has a great feel about it from the Connery era.
The back up singing towards the end sounds slightly off and I thought she would possibly unleash her full voice at some point, but she keeps it all pretty low key.
Great voice overall though and love the hint of bond bass line. I don't have a problem with the lyrics like a lot of people. The only part I don't really like is when she says "At Skyfall" it kind of gives away that sky fall is a place... Or just confuses some people.

I think they have done a reasonably good job of concealing the main plot while showing us a hell of a lot of footage, but after looking at the track listing posted here (stupid move) I now pretty much know the what scenes are where and what is going to happen along the way... loosely. But thats what you get for being over eager and watching and finding out about everything you can!

If it's any consolation there is some belief that the tracks are out of order on the soundtrack.

The bass line's the same one from YKMN and AWTD, but transposed up a semitone.

Which, when you consider it has only been released online, just two days before the official chart release, isn't at all bad. Plus heading the iTunes chart in many countries including the UK & US. That said, I wonder if the record might have done even better if it had been released on 1st October, as a CD as well as a download. It was a neat idea to synchronise the release with "James Bond Day" - just a pity it was only two days before the official UK charts release.

I thought this was pretty well done as well. Adele with an added electric guitar: http://soundcloud.co...-skyfall-guitar
