If it´s like the "iFly"-piece we´ll get a perfect new Bond sound that is still classical...

Oh, boy, here I go again, plugging that piece.

I think the iFly music is track 6: Shanghai Drive (01:26).

The track names which I’m most interested in are the ones where I can’t really hazard a guess about where they’d fit in in the movie – Brave New World, Someone Usually Dies, Health & Safety, Granborough Road, Breadcrumbs and Adrenaline.

All suggestions welcome! I guess Brave New World could actually be the final track of the movie, based on the little we know about those final two scenes.

Interesting track list. I love the sound of 'Mother', obviously...

Agreed about the "Huxley", very much what you say, or...new Mi6 underground, Q branch, etc...?
I reckon Granborough is north of London, so on the way to Glencoe perhaps?
And I´d say a Bond girl usually dies ;)

I'm 100% certain it is. The running time is the same, and the style and sound of it feel the same.

Yep..that has to be "Shanghai Drive" just perfect Bond-esque tailing music which will work wonderfully well for the Shanghai scenes..

It appears the track listing is out of sequence. The first track admittedly kicks things off. I wouldn't be suprised to see if track 14 was the next if it were sequenced with the film! ;)

Too bad they're out of order.

How do you know that tracks are out of order?


If the titles refer to the scenes the quotes are from, then they're out of order. It's a "listening experience" album, not complete and chronological (which would be a two CD release). That said, they could release bonus tracks on iTunes like they did with CASINO ROYALE.


Quite a few of the Bond OST albums/CDs didn't list the cues in the same order as they were heard in the films. DAF is an example - track 2, "Bond Meets Bambi & Thumper" related to a scene well into the second half of the film.

I think Health & Safety could be when Silva and his men dress up as Met Police officers and mow down civil servants.

I should think "Breadcrumbs" is a Hansel and Gretel reference. So, that probably either relates to Bond leaving a trail for Silva to follow him and M to Skyfall, or following the trail to Silva himself.

Both nice ideas. I'd buy that.

That would be very cool, a sequence with virtually no dialogue, but all score.

The "Mother" and "Jellyfish" titles are interesting. I'm also assuming the "Mother" track has something to do with M or something to do with Bond personally. Nice that there is a track for Severine.

Interesting names for the tracks. Looking forward to the release of it.

Is November 6th the wide release of the soundtrack, or will it be released sooner for the UK by any chance?

I'm sure I'll be able to find the tracks on YouTube and to download it before it's out in the US.

Damnit, the UK gets everything before us here in the states...

Is it just the runtime we have to go by? I'm still kind of undecided. Would have thought Newman might be fairly 'ethnic' with the music in certain parts of the film. That particular piece doesn't really scream "Shanghai" to me.

I hope 'Severine' has something good about it for her, rather than that limp one for 'Solange' back in 2006. Severine deserves a whole album.

I love the title tracks - almost like Hans Zimmer and 'Batman Begins' using single words, in that case references to bats, but ones that had hidden depth without giving too much away on face value, and had to be heard within the context of the film for max impact.

Can't wait to buy this one...

You know, I didn't realize that the track names were names of different types of bats until a few months ago. None the less, it still worked as you stated.

Hello, chaps - new to the board, long time lurker and all that. Found this on Wikipedia re Granborough Road.

"Because of its association with the Metropolitan Line this station is considered to be one of the Closed London Underground stations although it is over 30 miles from London and is not underground."

Welcome to the board, Zero Plus. :)

I'd also noticed that article when I was searching for Granborough Road, but still can't quite figure out how this might into the plot of SKYFALL, based on the information we know so far. Admittedly it could be quite an abstract reference to disruption on the London Underground, but I think there must be something more to it.
