Mmmm this looks intresting..any FX.?
anybody else have any comments

Wow, Fantastic, the sound is spectacular. Do you have Octopussy? Thanks.

No these are re-recordings merged in with the OST. They are very well done and the OP has done some cues from the other Bond films as well. They are also available on Youtube and CommanderBond.net (link: Gondola Chase - CBn Forums (http://debrief.commanderbond.net/topic/58772-gondola-chase/)).

Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for posting this. This sounds really incredible. I'm really not sure how this was accomplished, but this goes far beyond the usual dvdrip with sound effects. I followed the link above and read the whole thread, and I'm still not sure how he did it. Any fan of this score should really check this out. I was amazed.

Yes, I have this version, and the 31 or 32 track version that you can find over at TAKS james bond thread!

William

i've heard some of gk's rerecorded bond stuff over at youtube. it puts the prague philharmonic to shame! wow this is probably THE best moonraker we can possibly get until the lost tapes turn up!

thanks for the share.

any album art available for this one?

This is begging for a real expanded re-release!

I always had a sneaking admiration for this score, even before I had any real understanding of what film music did. Thanks for the post!

me too. this score added depth and intensity to an otherwise forgettable and mediocre film.

Is the OP the one who actually did this re-recording? If so, I have a question that is John Barry related. Another of my favorite John Barry scores is The Black Hole, and like Moonraker, suffers from an incomplete release. Is there any possibility that you could tackle that score sometime in the future with the same type of re-recording? A good amount of music was never released, but I have no idea if that's actually possible to do or if you're actually interested. Just throwing the idea out there because his Black Hole score sounds very similar in nature to this one.

By the way, I think its only fair that its said that this rip contains tracks lifted from my Moonraker expansion!

(Also, you forgot to remove the markers from some of your files)

If anybody would like the classical piece that plays while Bond's boat drives through the streets of Venice, here it is in full:

Vienna Opera Orchestra - Tritsch-Tratsch-Polka, Op. 214 [Moonraker] ????? ??????? ??? ??????? ?????? ?????? ?? poiskm.ru. ????????? ??? ???????????, mp3 (http://poiskm.ru/song/13568563-Vienna-Opera-Orchestra-Tritsch-Tratsch-Polka-Op.-214-Moonraker)

It's called "Tritsch-Tratsch Polka" and it is performed by The Vienna Opera Orchestra, conducted by Alfred Scholz. It's the top track that appears on the linked page. Right-click and save the second icon from the left (the little floppy disk image). It's ~250 kb mp3 vbr lame, the best I could find. It probably came off either the album "Cinema Classics Vol. 8" or "Classics from the Movies", which both contain this piece.

By the way, I think its only fair that its said that this rip contains tracks lifted from my Moonraker expansion!

(Also, you forgot to remove the markers from some of your files)

i'd like to know which ones were from tak's MR and which were gk's additions, so i can label them properly in itunes. also sounds like one or two tracks are the prague versions

The gunbarrel sounds like the one from mine, as does the end of Gondola chase. Corinne Put Down too, there may be others but Id need to check. Im not bothered or anything but I was a little shocked lol.

Takehiro, did you do your extended version in lossless? Just wondering because these are all wav files and they appear lossless. If some were from mp3 sources they should appear as lossy I believe.

Which versions do you think are the Prague versions Lyedecker? I'd like to compare.

All my Bond scores are originally lossless sourced, yeah. I didnt post them in lossless here due to a slow connection, but was planning on having Sparktank host them in lossless here in the coming weeks.

The gunbarrel and end of Gondola Chase seem to show some cut off/degradation of the sound.

The gunbarrel sounds like the one from mine, as does the end of Gondola chase. Corinne Put Down too, there may be others but Id need to check. Im not bothered or anything but I was a little shocked lol.

he shoulda given you some credit, at least. chateau drax cue sounds like the same prague version from yours also.

tak, unrelated question: which version of AVTAK did you get your album tracks for the expanded version from? 2003 rerelease or the japanese import version?

I had a version with the 2003 score but I replaced them track by track with the Japanese mix - the sound is so much better!

indeed. the 2003 version was a bit too treble-ey

Moonraker holds a sentimental place for me, as much of the boat chase scene was filmed literally down the street from where I lived in Port St. Lucie, Florida. At that time (1978) Port St. Lucie had very little excitement going on, but it was pretty cool to know that they used some of our marina area serving as a South American setting. Edited such that the waterfall ending of the sequence blends in rather well, where that WAS S. America. I can recall that I heard an occasional explosion too.

The film itself isn't up to the caliber of Goldfinger for sure, but I still am fond of it.

it's definitely no goldfinger.

it's not the worst.

i'd say it's an average bond film. there are some great moments. it just drags a bit here and there

I enjoyed it, for the humor that is in abundance. Barry's score was just wonderful, such as the Flight Into Space. Recall getting the LP for Christmas and have a photo of a happy kid whose film score enthusiasm was just beginning!

boy would i love to have moonraker on vinyl. i think the films generally considered roger moore's worst are my favorites. golden gun, moonraker, view to a kill. they are very slapstick and he plays a caricature of bond more than anything. it's almost like watching a leslie nielson film.

I had trading cards galore--the Topps series, of a bunch of films including Moonraker. Tossed everything out when I moved out of my folks' place. Wish I hadn't thrown all those cool cards out!

bet they're worth something now. too bad

Moonraker seems to have a bad rep, and I dont know why. The actual space part of the movie is very small. I think its great entertainment.

Maybe I might start doing some Bond LP transfers at 96/24, they would sound amazing!

the first 1/2 to 2/3 of moonraker is not bad. it just starts to get ridiculous around the point where jaws meets the girl

Yeah your right I forgot lol. The score is amazing though :)

i was just being overly critical though. i still love it. it's got some ridiculous moments but i think that's part of the reason i love it. i feel the same way about view to a kill.

AVTAK doesnt get cut enough slack, for me. I think its a great film. Sure, Moore was a little old but the story, villains and the score make for -- what I think -- is a great movie. Its pretty gritty in parts too, esp for a PG.

walken is great as zorin. moore probably should have retired after octopussy, but he does an okay job. this would've been a good first film for dalton

I never actually considered that, you know. Dalton would have been good for this. It definitely would have been a better movie.

they asked dalton to do it after connery quit but he felt he was too young.

Back in 69, yeah.

This is great! I had an expanded, "complete" version and it sucked. Full of FX and noise and it was just awful. I am looking forward to getting this one downloaded and into my iTunes.

Someone mentioned that there was an even longer version with a few extra tracks on another thread. Anyone have that link? I am having a bit of trouble finding it.

Interesting about Dalton being asked to do it after Connery. He really was young back then. On this subject, Moore was the one Broccoli wanted in the place but he was tied up on "The Saint" at the time. Moore was definitely too old by the time "A View to a Kill" came along and I truly hated the way the films had degenerated into kiddie slapstick. "Moonraker" was a poor retread of "The Spy Who Loved Me" (the screenwriter wasn't even trying) trying to cash in on "Star Wars" and Octopussy just sucked. The best thing about all of them was the music. Barry was even disappointed by then and quit scoring them because he felt the filmmakers had quit trying to tell a real story and had essentially gotten lazy. They did try to get back to the basics in "For Your Eyes Only" but it was a little thin. Dolton really brought it back in his second and last outing, "Licence To Kill". You talk about violent! Too bad they went into that six year hiatus and that Americans never really warmed to him. He was the deadliest Bond ever until the re-boot and Craig.

you probably had the version by 00agent.

---------- Post added at 10:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 AM ----------

well, soundtracker, i would've loved to see dalton do another few bonds. imagine him in the brosnan films. they would've been better in my opinion

More Dalton fans is ALWAYS a good thing

let's build a time machine, go back in time, and make dalton do more bond!

Oh, I had no idea my thread had a two page conversation going ... ahem.

First of all, sorry to Takehiro for taking his version and re-upping it. In fact, I wanted to present it a bit differently. I wanted to get the whole of "Corinne Put Down" on there for instance. I like to put everything Barry recorded on there, in the film or not.
But your version was the only one at hand at the time (it's amazing with all this talk about filesharing that I couldn't get a decent and lossless upload of the OST at the time), and it is, as you know, very good ;)

The Arrival At Chateau Drax is Nic Raine's recording. His freefall is terrible, but this one sounds quite nice.

yeah, raine's version is played too fast. yours is the same tempo as the film.

gk, any chance you'll be doing an octopussy? i noticed you had redone several cues on youtube

I'm working ... all in due time.

I'm working ... all in due time.

take your time

Thank You very much gkgyver for this fine contribution to the pleasure of listening a fine ''lost'' soundtrack!
I appreciated the complete ''Gondola Chase'' and the short, but nice, ''Here's To Us''.

this and Live and Let Die were, for me, the hardest to track down. as for the movie itself...i enjoy it. its campy, but i love campy stuff. its also one of the first Bond films i ever watched.

My goodness! Another version of this score! And it's even better than Takehiro's most excellent one! :O

Some parts may sound a bit artificial, but it sure beats all other versions, except for the real deal. And we all know the story about the recording tapes being lost and gone. (At least that's what MGM always claims.)

gkgyver, this is just awesome! So you basically reconstructed the missing pieces? Which software were you using? Anyway, keep up the good work! :)

gkgyver also has some re-recorded octopussy cues posted on youtube...

good shit...

Sounds nice!

Looks loke him and Takehiro should combine their efforts and start the "Ultimate Bond Scores"-Thread.

I'm going to start doing some Bond LP transfers at 96/24, they will sound amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks a lot!

do you have the complete score of the spy who loved me

I remember this being one of my favorite movies when I was a kid - along with The Black Hole and Escape from Witch Mountain - I guess because they were always on TV at some point in time. Anyway - trying to watch any of them now - i think I might have been somewhat 'challenged' as a youngster. But the music is great - so maybe that's what I was keying in to. That's what I tell myself anyway :)

thanks!

Back in the day those were my favourite movies too! Up to and including The Final Countdown and Star Trek The Motion Picture.

Compared to the loads of tripe we're getting these days as "summer entertainment" those movies were real art. ;)

And after 30+ years I even found a review for Star Trek TMP I can agree with: Ruthless Reviews � THE INDEFENSIBLE – STAR TREK (http://www.ruthlessreviews.com/12030/the-indefensible-star-trek/)

And on another note I recently watched Moonraker and was amazed by its cinematography! It looks like a VERY different movie sometimes.

But this is getting off topic again. ;)

Thanks :)

Thanks for the hard work!

thankss

Thank You.

Yes please reup !

Thx

Definately re-up, and not to Megaupload or Filesonic (niether are working here in the U.S.). Thanks!

A FLAC Re-Up of Moonraker (Complete) would be really sweet, right about now :-D

THanks!

I'd love to have this as well!

Possible to re-upload? Would love to get as well!

r��p needed

Moonraker is a lovely score by John Barry. I do like the space march and the title song.

reup please:)

Please!

Pretty please?

Many many thanks for the re-up! And thanks to the OP, too! Bishtyboshty and gkgyver, you made my day!

Thanks!

me and a facebook friend of mine thanks

I listened to this yesterday morning, brilliant stuff. Amazing how many cues are left off an commercial album. John Barry did another masterpiece. Love space march and laser batle.

Thanks bishtyboshty (and to gkgyver too!)!

Yes...thank you both! :)

Intriguing! Thanks for the re-upload. Now I'm off to the link posted on the first page to figure what exactly this is...

---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 PM ----------

Listening now... wow, so this really is the tracks that have been released, plus brand new softsynth recordings of all the cues in the film that haven't been released? AMAZING work! I absolutely take my hat off to you. This must have taken such a long time to do. Have you also split up some of the pre-existing recording to make them fit the order they appeared in the film? eg Cable Car and Snake Fight?

Thanks!!!!

Great stuff, thanks!!

Thanks.

Any alternate to Megaupload?

Hello,
this link does not work...Maybe you could give us a new one..when you got time, naturally..

thank you..

Thanks.

thank you very much

I must say that this is my favourite version of Moonraker's score to this very day! :)

A very impressive piece of work done by gkgyver! Very highly appreciated!

I like to imagine similar takes on Roy Budd's Zeppelin and Jerry Goldsmith's Damnation Alley! Hell, in the latter case it's only the synth overdubs missing!

Too bad this also takes a lot of time and effort.

Anyway, hoping for more good stuff from this excellent ffshriner! :)

Thank you gkgyver & bishtyboshty!

Great post.
I'd love to check this one.

Page 4, Post number 84.

Does anyone have a DVD rip of Elmer Bernstein's Magnificent Seven theme that was used in the Gaucho scene? I believe that the orchestrations were done by Barry and it is a re-recording that was done when they performed the score in France in 1979. I don't believe it exists anywhere else except for in the film.

Does anyone have a working link for this one? i missed it...and packupload is gone

PackUpload just says 'you must wait to download' even though I have waited repeatedly.

wow, Im so badly in love with this score, is so crazy and nostalgic, and funny, so many things

great job guys

I wonder why the Moonraker Kickstarter was cancelled?

Hello,
the Moonraker Kickstarter project was not cancelled - just the opposite: all the funds came in so financially the project was in sure hands.
But then James Fitzpatrick gave information, that an unexpected rights issue turned up which prevented an immediate recording of the score
so he didn't collect the Kickstarter funds.
So the Moonraker project is postponed for undefined time - but not cancelled.

Thanks for the reupload.

thanks!

Thank you!!

Ah, same sad story as with so many other titles. Some parasite(s) figured out there'd be easy money to be made from this re-recording and the 35+ year old copyright (which he/them would never use for anything in a hundred years) could be milked for good.

Many thanks.
