Bond theme by AlexAmbr

What do you guys think? Would you like this sort of style for the Bond theme of Bond 23?

P.S. I didn't make it. All credits go to AlexAmbr

It would be nice to see Greene's party rescored with this.

Why do you feel the need to duplicate your own threads, which themselves are duplicates of stickied threads?

I never asked this question before.

Really? Because it's a hell of a lot similar to your thread the other day suggesting such-and-such for the musical theme.

Yes! Like the one we had in Die Another Day in the party in Iceland! Good job!

Fantastic! (Ou, peut-être ça vaut être: "fantastique!" Je ne sais pas...) Good for the French; first Moonraker, now this - where would we be without 'em?

I mean the Bond theme as in the one Monty Norman wrote, not the title theme. Can't you tell by the song?

No hope of anyone finding an MP3 (or any other sort of file), is there? I've tried and failed. Failed horribly.

No, because it's so heavily synthesised that it sounds nothing like the Bond theme. It's the kind of music that long-time fans decried during the Age of Brosnan.

Oh in that case, no. It would be horrible.

It would be okay for a party scene, but I'd rather have a blaring Bond theme in during an action sequence.

I can rip it from youtube to mp3 and upload it somewhere if you'd like.

It's the reinvention of the Bond theme, but that's your opinion and I respect that.

I was thinking the same thing. It sounds more suited for a video game score.

Video game or a scene like the party in TND. Anyways, don't people say basically the same thing about Eric Serra?

No B)ing way! Barry's orchestrated music of the Norman's theme is perfect the way it is and the only time that it's been redone to glorious effect was Arnold's Bond. James Bond at the end of Casino Royale.

Like others have said, this music is alright to be played at a party or some sort of event going on within the movie but the Bond theme to be THERE.

It takes some hubris for someone to remix the Bond theme.

There've been some great ones, like Brandon Brown's.

I've yet to hear one that came anywhere near the original.

Eh, personally, I prefer Kamen's to the original. Brown's is probably the best fan remix I've heard, though.

Good, very atmospheric.

I see Bond, breaking in to the villian's lair during the music.
Scaling a wall, slipping past guards.
Certainly jumping out over a big drop.
Maybe looking through a window at a girl undressing (nothing pervy of course)just a moments hesitation then cracking on with the mission.
There are good breaks in the music where changes of pace could be instigated.
As the music fades he would enter the office.
