Seems like we're just watching him in one of those SF websodes. RIP.

I have started an appeal on twitter to get the BBC to recognise the contribution Derek gave to the music industry. I would really appreciate a retweet from all you tweeters out there. My twitter is @jamietrumpet

Every Bond score of the past 50 years is quite an accomplishment. May he rest in peace!

I was wondering if, after 50 years, one person had worked on every Bond film.  Then I saw Derek on Skyfall's extra feature on Bluray.  Nice to know that he's on every Bond soundtrack.
