Interesting to read about how it came about. I am a fan of Crawl, End Crawl and it's amazing to think he only had one day to create it.

I think it perfectly fits the mood at the end of Quantum of Solace. Yes, we have the bombastic James Bond theme, but then we get time to reflect on Bond's emotional state at the end of the movie with this impressive string-laden electronic piece.

Good stuff..... B)

Completely agreed, Dave.

Nicely said Dave. I thought it was an unusual style of track to use for the end credits, but it works brilliantly. I was dissapointed it wasn't done in time to be included on the soundtrack CD.

Totally agree, Dave. I was really intrigued when I first heard it playing during the credits. It just seemed like an odd choice but it also seemed to fit well at the same time. Amazing it was done in one day. Even though it isn't on the soundtrack, it was nice to see it made available to buy it from iTunes.

Agreed. "Crawl, End Crawl" would’ve flowed on better after “I Never Left” as there wouldn’t be a tonal change, but I like how the film ends on a high postmodern note with the gun barrrel. We get the best of both worlds.

Brilliant piece of music to end the movie. Utterly fantastic; it really fits the mood perfectly.

That tune with the very odd but stylish graphic scrolling under the credits, very nice combo IMO.

Pity it can't have a 12" or 7" vinyl release, a nice piece of work.
