BONUS: Sam Smith - Writing's On The Wall CD Single (FLAC & MP3 320)
(thank you so much scorehunter66)


1. Writing's on the Wall
2. Writing's on the Wall (Instrumental)

FYI - the instrumental on this CD single is unabridged unlike on the OST.

Download:
https://mega.nz/#!chEzWAQK!EyKv6TInTA_f4_Pj_Ld6IvRn65DvxfgVbVzOrwIfVu4

BONUS #2: the abridged film version (recreation) of Sam Smith's Writing's on the Wall. Made using the single instrumental and regular track based on my memory of the cutdown song in my two viewings. The real one has IIRC a couple Newman flourishes included and a rather wonderful lead-in from the last cue of the pre-title sequence.

Download (FLAC and MP3 320)
https://mega.nz/#!0lsEEJSZ!DhttFMSG4FUwUiv0umYpvFtL4EIaX5umqkOYnUrFYqQ

BONUS #3: THE GUNBARREL! Albeit it doesn't have the build up that we get over the studio logos but this is as good as it gets, and in 24-bit FLAC. Thank the folks at Sony for using it in the new short featurette that came out this morning.

So very thankful for this score!!!

You rock!

Magical. Thanks for the upload!

Nice one! thank you very much!

Huge thanks!!!!

Great post and congratulations for being the first! Have added to your reputation by the way :-)

Thank you!

Awesome... is the Mp3 in Chrono order

Fantastic, thanks!

Thanks so much!

Holy S***, Thank u so very very much, let's get it on!!

Grateful thanks

Thank you!!! Looking forward to it!

Thank you!

Thanks a ton!

Not a fan of Sam Smith or the theme song but I appreciate your posting the soundtrack.

"Welcome to Japan, Mr. Bond!"

Thank you so much

24-Bit? I am thrilled :)

Between this and Bridge of Spies, Newman's had a busy year!

Oh, and thank you!

Thanks very much. Cool!!

Thank you!

Thanks, antovolk!

Awesome... is the Mp3 in Chrono order

Sort of - will update a new track listing and maybe a new upload of the MP3 once I see the film and once a good chrono tracklisting is out

Woo! Thanks!

Unfortunately I can't download/listen until I get my Mac fixed. I guess there's YouTube until then :/

You're the man! Thanks, antovolk. :)

I can see a lot of re-tracked themes/stems/temp/instrumentals from SKYFALL.

Very interesting. Indeed!

Thanks! :)

Wow ......amazing sharing.....

Thanks for sharing :)

Wow stunning post! Thank you!

On glancing through it, it's like Newman has had another go with his Skyfall score and improved it quite a bit in some areas. Also, the main song instrumental is less than half the actual song's running time, so will still need to get the CD single in order to acquire the full version - unless it's on that Japan site that is?!

Thanks a lot++++

And that site doesn't have it then I take it? Not to worry, will pick it up from HMV tomorrow. Incidentally, the 'Eternal City' track is ace :-)

The site has the official digital single in 24-bit FLAC - which doesn't include the instrumental.

Newman's theme for the organisation itself (best featured in the first half of the end titles track) eerily reminds me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhKHt85CFwI Which is good because I LOVE this piece.

thank you very much!!!

Thank you so much! looking forward to listening.

Uh, took me by surprise. Thank you very much!

Can't wait to hear! Thanks!

Thankyou very much :)

Thanks!

Thanks...Great post.

Thank you very much.

Awesome!!

Fun fact: The first "Los muertos vivos estan" translates into "the dead are alive" which is part of a small song featured in a concert in the Zocalo, in Mexico's opening sequence. It has a crazy drum rythm too. I was one of the extras in the filming and it's quite catchy. It's a bit dumned down in Day of the Dead but it's the same freaking song

Thanks for this! Not to quibble, but why does it say the FLAC version is 1.3Gb? That's awfully big.

It's at 24-bits so that's why it's so large.

flac having less track for mp3?

Thank you!!!!

VERY Cool! Thank you!

As I have posted in the other Bond thread. Sam Smiths title song is a boring joke. You don't use a pussy voice like his for such a song.
I have just listened to a few tracks of the Spectre OST and it's the normal Thomas Newman 'go nowhere' rubbish. I miss the days of Barry and his works of art which added depth to the film, all we have now is noise with a capital N.

it's the normal Thomas Newman 'go nowhere' rubbish.

I also find this score absolutely uninteresting and quite boring.
Of course we'll have to wait to see how it works in the movie.

nice! thx!

Licensed to thrill, many thanks for this share. Another bondesque moment

Muchas Gracias

I don't know if I want to listen to this before seeing the movie

But I really liked Newmans score for Skyfall

Thanks for the share.

Thanks very much

It's Christmas before Halloween!!
GREAT upload and a big Thanks to you

Thank you.

Donna Lucia guys! Donna Lucia!! :D

Does the James Bond Theme or the 007 Theme appear anywhere on this OST, or is it practically absent like on Skyfall's OST?

Practically absent like on Skyfall's OST and it is very disappointing.

Some have mentioned that they miss John Barry, which I can sympathize with. However, I am also nostalgic for David Arnold. He complimented the existing Bond themes with EDM instruments and depth of sound. Not to mention that he also composed great songs for the credit sequences. In my opinion, his music was the unsung hero of the movies they accompanied.

my covers for 007: "Spectre" by Thomas Newman

Thank you very much !! Lovely for a Friday evening :) Can't wait for the film.

Thank you soo much!

I'm stoked for this.... if Sam Smith's "Writing on the Wall" didn't give me that many goosebumps though. haha

Have listened to it a few times now, it is a damn good soundtrack and suits the time. Newman did good and Sam Smith's title track is very good. Look forward to seeing the movie and how the opening titles look with "Writing on the Wall".

Thank you 24bit too.

Thank You Antovolk

Many Thanks .

Practically absent like on Skyfall's OST and it is very disappointing.

Yes, indeed, I kind of got excited after listening to the first track... and expected more epic James Bond theme references, which never came... ._. By the way, who orchestrated Writing's On The Wall?

TY!!

Fantastic! Thanks so much.

thank you kind sir

Yes, indeed, I kind of got excited after listening to the first track... and expected more epic James Bond theme references, which never came... ._. By the way, who orchestrated Writing's On The Wall?

Apparently Newman conducted the orchestra when the song was recorded.

Speaking of - anyone had the chance to get the full instrumental? Also the cutdown instrumental we have on this album actually appears in the film apparently.....

No unfortunately, the trailers were composed and arranged by Jeff Pfeifer as opposed to Newman.

Do you mean the OHMSS piece? Fingers crossed it will make an appearance somewhere. It's too damn good not to! :-)

I look forward to a FYC promo. Hopefully there will be extra material on it that didn't make it on this set such as cues from the PTS. However, I really enjoyed this score. Still enjoying it now!

Do you mean the OHMSS piece? Fingers crossed it will make an appearance somewhere. It's too damn good not to! :-)

Yeah. That was just for the trailer campaign.

EDIT: Have got it now and will be uploading in a bit for you to post the link alongside your other two in your opening post. Also, I now know why it was abridged on the OST, the orchestra and Sam were obviously recorded simultaneously and there's a bit of vocal bleed during the quiet bits as a result.

Not to mention the abridged instrumental version appearing in the film at some point actually.

Thanks so much, updating OP with it shortly.....

That's awsome! Thanks a lot! I always buy the Bond scores, but I refuse to buy these recent ones without the theme song! That makes absolutely no sense to me!

I'm attempting to download Writings on the Wall in 7.1 Surround Sound. No idea of the source. Maybe Sparktank or someone would want to take a look at it when it finishes downloading.

I'll take a look at it if you'd like. Though the only reason I can think of being mixed in 7.1 is if the full song is used in the film.

Thanks

Thank Very Much for the Last James Bond

7.1 doesn't make any sense.

All the movies have been 5.1 so far, haven't they?
I'd be willing to be it's just upscaled stereo.

Have been comparing the complete main song instrumental with the abridged one from the OST and can see where and why all the cuts were made for that version now. Sam and the orchestra were obviously recorded simultaneously, so there's some unavoidable vocal bleed through during the quieter passages as a result. I suspect he and the piano were in one room with the orchestra in another.

Thanks for the "Bonus" too !!

And thanks antovolk, for the single ;)

Many Thanks !

But, man!, that cover art is cheesy!

And thanks antovolk, for the single ;)

Wrong guy ;-)

I sent it to him to include as opposed to creating my own thread for it.

This has left me shaken AND stirred... thank you!

Thomas Newman, recognizable like Danny Elfman. James Bond's A Spectre of Unfortunate Events... but it's nice.

Writing's on the Wall (lyricized) was a mistake to listen to. Sounds like someone grabbed Sam Smith's balls and janked them a few times during the song. The instrumental version has a faint Smith bleeding through... very bad, overall.
Not sure if this is better then Adele's Skyfall. I swear, that woman just doesn't finish any word she sings.

Thanks antovolk for the finds. Neat posts.

holy crap !! thx so much !!

So drop it!

Why do you spend so much time and effort shitting on the forum?

I dealt with scorehunter66 privately and we came to agreement.

Why are you dragging him into this and why are you using Antovolk's thread for your battleground?
You don't have the brains for this forum. You drag other people into your fights and use other people's threads.
You have no respect and are just selfish!

You will get banned if you deserve it.

There was a reason. You only wish cause anarchy.

Leave scorehunter66 and Antovolk alone.

Any post about Topoktro will provoke hostility from anyone.

This forum has proven that time and time again.

So get used to it. You're powerless. Selfish. Spoiled.

So quite posting in Anvtovolk's threads. Think about others for once.

PS: Literally no one is saying anything. So it's just you and in your head.

Thank you very much for the share! My CD has be pre-ordered for a while and wanted to hear this ASAP.

I still don't understand Universal. What's the point of releasing music as Lossless FLAC 44.1kHz/24bit when they continue to apply audible watermarking to the files? If people buy Universal downloads, they're getting ripped off.

Fantastic! Thank you!

For what it's worth I have listened to this score again and I still feel the same way, total Newman 'go nowhere' rubbish. I have deleted the score from my computer.
It now runs better for some reason.:disgust:

Thank you for the 24-bit antovolk... And thank you to whoever posted the single...
Just a heads' up, you can hear Sam Smith's vocals partially towards the end of the instrumental... :|

And thank you to whoever posted the single...

That was me (Antovolk did credit me with it in his updated posts) and the reason why Sam's vocal is just about audible on the quieter parts of the track is because the orchestra and he were recorded simultaneously as opposed to the orchestra being pre-recorded beforehand. Personally, I don't know why they couldn't have gone for a second take with just the orchestra alone so a clean copy of it could be released along with the main vocal version, but there you go! Not great for a commercial release but a whole lot better than the karaoke efforts currently available for it in my opinion.

Yeah that makes sense. I'm surprised they released the clean ending on the soundtrack (even though it was an edit) and left the vocals intact on the single.

Antovolk, Thank you so much!! awesome work and share!!! :)

Yeah that makes sense. I'm surprised they released the clean ending on the soundtrack (even though it was an edit) and left the vocals intact on the single.

This whole issue is why parts were re-recorded by Newman during the film scoring sessions - as the abridged version on the OST is actually in the film.

Hello - I was lucky enough to see the film yesterday and the soundtrack order pretty much follows the action of the film.

There are a couple of cues I could tell weren't on the soundtrack though.

Notably - MINOR SPOILER AHEAD -





The gun barrel returns to the start of the movie! And with an original orchestration of the Bond theme by Thomas Newman, which is sadly not on the soundtrack.

At the end of the movie, Newman copies pretty much entirely the way he scored the end scene in Skyfall when Bond returns to work and meets the new M (but this time with the subtle addition of vibraphone) and then it goes into the David Arnold arrangement of the Bond theme from Casino Royale - which Arnold gets credited for in the end titles.

That's the only time in the film that you hear the Bond theme in its entirety sadly :(

Thanks

Thats too bad
especially since FYCs never have the Jamesbond theme tracks

If the description of the gunbarrel is correct, hopefully it will fade out before the title card 'the dead are alive' appears and then segue straight into Los Muertos Vivos Estan. That should make it quite rip-able. Certainly there are enterprising folks here who seem able to edit out the gunshots from previous unreleased versions. Depending on how much overlap there is on the final scene(s), the same may be true for the end statement of the Bond theme. The script does mention 'distant strains of the Bond theme...' over the last couple of scenes.

I have to say I quite like the new soundtrack. I like how Newman has woven the Bond theme through the new cues, rather than a full on statement of the theme. However it is missing a true finale. The track described as end credits is too anonymous for be a closing piece for a film or album. Each time I have listened to the score album, without watching the track names, I still do not realise when I am listening to the end credits track.

I have always wondered why the gunbarrel music often gets omitted from the score albums? Is it a rights, or composer ego issue? If the Bond theme does indeed play out the end of the film, then what is the final track on the OST (SPECTRE [End Credits]) for?

Final point, I am not happy with the instrumental Title track on the single. The voice bleed is simply amateurish. For a professional product, it is really unacceptable. A fan-made rip can allow for vocal bleeds as we do not have the resources to make a clean version of a track, but not something from a record label. Did they not even listen to it before they made the discs? It is either sloppy QC or no customer service. However, the do prefer the OST instrumental. Whilst shorter, it seems fuller. Without Smith's vocal's the melody seems anaemic. Yet together they work beautifully (yes, I am one of the few that likes the song). Well I guess the karaoke version on YT will have to do in the interim.

Still roll on 4th November. If only I still lived in the UK, then I could enjoy it all tomorrow. Lucky buggers.

The main title instrumental that appears on the OST is just an edited down version of the one included on the CD single. Also, the complete CD single version has had a volume maximiser applied to it (making it approximately 3.5 DBs louder as a result), whereas the abridged OST version hasn't.

Incidentally, out of interest, I put both into Soundforge and was able to exactly recreate the abridged version using the complete and am now considering adding some further bits into it that weren't affected by Sam's vocal bleed (I suspect it came from the piano track and that the piano may have been in the same room as Sam was at the time of recording).

Finally, I have a number of original song instrumentals by such artists as Michael Buble and Alfie Boe, and some of those suffer from the same problem as well.

Thank you!

Thanks for this!

get in there BOOM

Thank you.

Awesome thankx

Thank you!

Possible chronological order: 2,1,3,6,18,12,7,8,20,9,13,15,22,16,14,25,5,10,21,1 9,17,23,4,24,11,26. But this is a pure guess based on the tracktitles and the known locations. L'Americain for instance is the name of a hotel.. No more spoilers! ;-)

A good chronological order is in order.

Thanks for this :)
Now still waiting for the movie on the 5th of November...

I forgot how out of order Skyfalls OST was

Only the last half of the tracks on the SF OST were in proper order oddly enough.

I think that when they bring out the soundtrack in chronological order they might give away too much spoilers of the storyline of the movie. A soundtrack-cd must have a good musical order for the pure music-lovers who wants to listen the whole cd from beginning to the end. A good mix and order of themes is then more important, I think.

Thanks a ton for these shares! I remember being pretty unimpressed with Newman's Skyfall score when I first listened to it... and then loving it after I'd seen the movie. I expect this will likely be the case for Spectre as well, thanks again!

Thanks!!

Very nice. Thank you

Back from the film.

Two big omissions from the OST - Newman's fantastic gunbarrel cue, and his own short arrangement of WOTW instrumental.....

That's just criminal.
So the WOTW cue on this one isn't his own arrangement?
BTW, how's the chronology of the tracklist compared?

It's just a cut down of the official instrumental on the CD single of WOTW. His arrangement in the film is even shorter but it's his own arrangement and orchestration.

Move Day of the Dead to after Los Muertos Vivos Estan, and Crows Klinik and Madeleine to after Kite in a Hurricane.


Well shit. And you can forget those being on the FYC since they're not Newman's material. Unless he co-wrote WOtW

He didn't. He MAY have conducted the orchestra when the song was recorded in January but yeah, shame about his new WOTW arrangement which is short but reeeeeeealy nice. And that gunbarrel cue which is just amazing.
it starts off over the studio logos with the Arnold-style build-up, then the DUN DUN DUUUUN over black, then the dots and barrel accompanied by a TND-style cue.

And right on cue - the gunbarrel cue!

I recorded it on my phone tonight and despite the quality not being that great, it should be good enough to give those interested the general idea :-)

I'm so excited to see this move

Sweet! Thanks very much, antovolk.

That was me (Antovolk did credit me with it in his updated posts) and the reason why Sam's vocal is just about audible on the quieter parts of the track is because the orchestra and he were recorded simultaneously as opposed to the orchestra being pre-recorded beforehand. Personally, I don't know why they couldn't have gone for a second take with just the orchestra alone so a clean copy of it could be released along with the main vocal version, but there you go! Not great for a commercial release but a whole lot better than the karaoke efforts currently available for it in my opinion.

That's very odd, as the album's abridged instrumental has no trace of Smith's vocals.

Not odd because they only used some of the sections that didn't contain vocal bleed in them to make the abridged version.

Wrong guy ;-)

I sent it to him to include as opposed to creating my own thread for it.

Thank you scorehunter66 ;)

And thank you again :)

thanks a lot !

Must've been some fancy editing then, because you can hear his falsetto vocals in all 4 choruses of the full instrumental, even during the parts used on the album edit. I'm not trying to call you a liar or something if "simultaneous recording" is something that you've read/heard as the reason, I'm just saying that I think that reason is kinda BS ;)

thanks again

Actually, don't take my word for it, just make up the abridged version from the full instrumental and then mix-paste it exactly over the original and the result you get is the same awful flanging effect you get when you try to overlay two virtually identical tracks over one another. Furthermore, if the complete instrumental hadn't had a volume maximiser applied to it, both would cancel each other out if you inverted one of them before overlaying it over the other. Finally, there's an instrument missing from the bridge section on the abridged version, which may have contained the offending vocal bleed, hence why it was removed. Anyway, if you're a dab hand at audio editing and mixing, the above shouldn't take you more than 20 minutes to achieve :-)

Incidentally, out of interest, I put both into Soundforge and was able to exactly recreate the abridged version using the complete and am now considering adding some further bits into it that weren't affected by Sam's vocal bleed (I suspect it came from the piano track and that the piano may have been in the same room as Sam was at the time of recording).


I think I heard Smith say they used his demo track as the final vocal, so I guess that would have been a voice and piano track dubbed over an orchestral arrangement?



Anyone got a shot at the chronological order yet? I've seen the movie and the soundtrack does appear to be mostly in the right order, Day of the Dead excluded of course and I suppose a few other tracks too.

I just realised it's THIRTEEN YEARS since a Bond movie started with the gunbarrel sequence! Good to see it back.


Edit; looking through the tracks again I think maybe DOTD is the ONLY track that is out of order. "Kite in a Hurricane" could be at two points in the movie so not sure on that one. I'm only going by track titles I don't have the musical ear to recall all the cues after one viewing. The tag scene into the credits is very very similar to Skyfall too so a rip of that will do for now in a Spectre playlist.

Big thanks!

To be frank, they could have quite easily cleaned the track up prior to release, so it's a bit sloppy that they didn't. However, I know a great sound engineer that could do the job without it affecting the instrumental, so am going to ask him to sort it out as I really love the track.

Many thanks

BONUS #2: the abridged film version (recreation) of Sam Smith's Writing's on the Wall. Made using the single instrumental and regular track based on my memory of the cutdown song in my two viewings. The real one has IIRC a couple Newman flourishes included and a rather wonderful lead-in from the last cue of the pre-title sequence.

Thanks a bunch !

thanks

Thank you very much!

Thanks for your efforts with the Gunbarrel and WOTW instrumental. Such a shame they are not on the CD.

I created the most accurate version that you hear at the cinema, using music by David Arnold of CR and QoS, by including the old shot of the legendary Walther ppk 007 ;)
