At long last, gkgyver and I can present a special edition release of this score.

Working from the DVD film soundtrack as reference, gkgyver has lovingly and beautifully recreated the unreleased music from The Man with the Golden Gun. I have supplied some extra pieces that gkgyver was not able/did not need to supply. This is a project that has taken months of hard work and many hours to put together and complete but, it is now ready to be heard.

gygyver writes:

You may notice that a couple of cues are missing from this release, the reason for that being that, unfortunately, with the equipment at hand, it was not possible for me to achieve a sound that was satisfactory and on par with the other cues I have recorded. The music recorded by Nic Raine and the City Of Prague Orchestra was not used in this release because of severe differences in tone and tempo. I hope this doesn't blemish your enjoying this release, as it was a great experience to delve this deep into John Barry's music, even though The Man With The Golden Gun was not a favourite of his.

The score is presented in film sequence, with bonus tracks at the end. I supplied the commercially released music from the original EMI album and the album sequencing/mastering of the material has been undertaken by me also. But without doubt, the real hard work was completely undertaken by gkgyver. Kudos to him on a job very well done.

Enjoy the music, guys.

yay THX!!!!!!

Thanks to both of you. I've enjoyed your releases tak and GK is a master at recreating unreleased music, so a merger of both your talents makes me excited for this release. Well done to you.

He has certainly done an amazing job with this. The music is, to me, rather seamless and its a job to hear the unreleased pieces. The Solex track is great, as it the unreleased opening cue, Scaramanga's Island. I for one have been bursting with excitement about releasing this!

Thank You.

Thanks gkgyver and Tak...err...KaFaraqGatri!

Thank you.

Many thanks to the dynamic duo - gkgyver and Takehiro!

WOW!

Thanks!

Many thanks for all the hard work on this release!
Thanks for posting this Takehiro!

My hope is for: The Spy Who Loved Me. If yer listening Tak and GK... please....

Another great Bond score, thank you!!

So cool and thank you sooo much! Could I ask, how do you do this?! Is this music from a blu-ray rip? I would love to get my hands on Moonraker too. Thanks again and keep up the awesome work!

No, there are no Blu-ray rips in this. There are some -- hopefully -- cunning mixes between a few seconds of clean DVD audio and gkgyver's work here and there but I think its pretty seamless.

Spectacular work gentleman, kudos for all you work and time, truly amazing effort.

It doesn't cut it.
Embarrassing synth replacements can't make up for the missing, real stuff.

I wouldn't have posted something like that.

And I Assume you can magically conjure up burned/thrown out/lost/destroyed tapes and remove sound effects? because if you cannot do any of those things I do not think you have any ground to stande on here.

I just can't believe that some people have nothing better to do than to shit all over other people's hard work.

No, there are no Blu-ray rips in this. There are some -- hopefully -- cunning mixes between a few seconds of clean DVD audio and gkgyver's work here and there but I think its pretty seamless.

Actually, I did a bit over 24 minutes of music total, using maybe 4 minutes of DVD material to layer over my recordings. There was little DVD ripped material for me to use.

As far as The Spy Who Loved Me is concerned, I have to put the kibosh on that for now. Not to dampen spirits, but in order to not get expectations too high. It has a very distinguishable sound that is damn hard to reproduce.

Well - believe it or not. It will take some time and quite a few listens, until even the average listener will notice that your beloved fan promo in reality is just another lazy engineering job. Is it my mistake that your acoustic perspective is kinda distorted? Never mind.

Sounds like someone is a little bitter.

Like it or not, it is the closest you will get to a definitive presentation for a very very long time.

Close but no cigar.

Would you ever try to do the same with Moonraker....

I gotta say I am mighty impressed with what you did with The Man With Golden Gun....Well Done

Excellent team work! This is not my favorite 007 score, but John Barry is never too much...

Thank you both for the hard work!

i hope thet do octopussy next. i'd totally have a bondgasm

all these haters need to shut the fuck up.

gk, if you don't mind me asking, what equipment, software, etc do you use?

i'm thinking about buying a keyboard but i want to be able to create fairly realistic sounding orchestral synth music.

I don't use a keyboard.
I transcribe the pieces with Sibelius 2 and record them with SAM Brass, SAM TrueStrike, East West String Collection and VSL Woodwinds (1st Edition).

And you do a fabulous job, mate. Kudos to you.

Downloading now! Thanks a bunch and looking forward to hearing it!

Thanks to both of you!!!

As always these releases make me poo my pants with joy

THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN
Special Edition Expanded Score


Enjoy the music, guys.




Already am! And thanks, laddies!

Thanks guys, truly amazing work!!

I’ve taken, written, listened to and much enjoyed this new spectacular release!

Both You, KaFaraqGatri and gkgyver, have done a million dollar shot!

The whole fine work had been really made with good taste and the right feeling.

Every Bond music fan has great reasons to enjoy of the remade bits and tracks of the score.
New recordings give us a new and free experience, instead of a lot of holes of unpleasant ‘nothings’ of silence.

A MILLION "HAI FAT" THANKS,
KaFaraqGatri AND gkgyver,
FOR ALL THIS ASTOUNDING WORK!
YOU ARE SECOND TO NONE!

The score for TMWTGG is more beautiful and interesting than its not-very-good reputation says. It's quite easy, but with nice colours and exciting or atmospheric passages.
I think that the movie is underrated too, and some scenes have noticeable improvements from the score, like the night boat trip in Hong Kong bay or the search for the Scaramanga's island. Nick Nack theme is funny too.
Also, Barry made some curious quotations from Herrmann's Cape Fear...

Thanks a lot again!!!

PS: don't forget (or forgive? ;-) ) the guilty pleasure of the notorius whistle effect!

Actually, I did a bit over 24 minutes of music total, using maybe 4 minutes of DVD material to layer over my recordings. There was little DVD ripped material for me to use.

I fully understand GK. You're right Spy does have a very particular sound. Maybe one for a future project? Now if only we could get a release of the film version of Spy's score, we could chuck out that original OST travesty. There's some great music there and instead we get a thirty minute road wreck of an OST.

Sorry, rant over.

Are you planning any more re-recordings? I see you've done some tracks for Octopussy and AVTAK.

Please more Re-Recordings. Maybe OP, AVTAk or LTK

Anonymous rep given :P

Haha!

I would like to thank you and also give you some constructive critizism on TMWTGG, Kafaraq and gkgyver, to hopefully make your future projects even better :)

The good things about it, IMHO, is all the time and dedication that obviously went into the project. The sound is, as others have pointed out, remarkable. Also the added re-recorded instruments make for a richer overall sound, I feel.

What I experinced to be less good about it, is that sometimes in the more quiet parts, the new re-recorded orchestral overdubs tend to sound more keyboard synthezied compared to the original recorded music, which caused the music not to gel as a whole, if you know what I mean? Is it possible to use another program to get a sound more closer to the original?

I don't know about others in this thread, but since this is such an overlooked great score, I for one would be interested in hearing what the raw material sounded like. Would you consider uploading an alternative raw edition, if it's not too much work? This all in my humble opinions of course. Thanks again :)

I think I can speak on gkgyver's behalf, in his absence.

No hardware keyboard synths were used in the creation of this album, but rather professional quality sample libraries. There is no "raw material" per se; what you hear is the output of a powerful software synth, made -- if I am not mistaken -- with samples taken from actual instruments. Our intention was not to set out to create a 1:1 indistinguishable recreation of a live orchestra, recorded and mixed by a team of technicians. That would be impossible. We don't have a real orchestra and we don't have a recording studio. We simply wanted to provide fans with a clean and faithful reinterpretation of the unreleased music. Furthermore, oiriginal sheet music was not available to gkgyver, so he had to compose, mix and prepare the pieces all by ear - a remarkable achievement.

Software-based music is never going to sound as natural as a real orchestra. But what gkgyver he has managed to achieve, I think, is of very good quality and more than acceptable for fans to enjoy until we get something better from the record companies - hopefully! :)

Ok. I see what you mean. Of course I can imagine it's not easy composing, mixing and preparing music without the original sheet music. I transcribed the lyrics to some songs a while ago and I felt THAT was hard. Is this the way you're going to do the rest of the scores including Dr. No?

Well we havent promised anything yet :)

Thanks but I will be reposting it later. I prefer to keep track of my own work but for now, thank you for letting others get this immediately.

Thank you for all the incredible work.
Unfortunately I missed some during the last couple of weeks (like Goldfinger).
Any chance those will be reuploaded to other hosters as well ?

Awesome! I was already very impressed with gk's take on Moonraker, but this here is even better! :)

My personal wish-list for such "upgrades" is rather short:

ZEPPELIN by Roy Budd (because I know where the tapes for this one are and believe me, we're not going to get them in the foreseeable future)
DAMNATION ALLEY by Jerry Goldsmith - INCLUDING the synth overdubs.

Thanks for all the hard work and effort that went into this. It's not a favorite Bond score for me, but it's still John Barry and it still deserves a stellar treatment like this! Can't wait to listen.

Hi, packupload doesn't seem to be working anymore. Anyone knows if I can download 'The Man With The Golden Gun' anywhere? Thanks!
