...Faaaaantastic.

Excellent. Thanks. This will tide me over till my CD arrives next week.

Thanks Lilu!

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the booklet scans ;)

thanks Lilu!

nice.

thank you. cant wait to hear Newman's take on the Bond theme.

Edit: there doesnt seem to be a full-fledged Bond theme on this, doesnt mean its not in the film right enough....

Nice I would give a listen, before I can buy my copy, thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks for the booklet and bonus track!

Thanks, Lilu.

Thanks.

thanks!

Thank you.

Thanks.

Nice score. Doesn't sound like typical Newman. It sounds very much like a Hans Zimmer score.

FYI, Mediafire link is down.

Mediaupload link is still good as of the time of this post.

Thanks!

Thanks a lot!

nice thanks!

That's a few people on the forum making their opinions known about new releases, this is the 2nd or third quick deletion that I have noticed.

Many thanks for this, it is very much appreciated :-)

Unfortunately :( and that�s why I hate it...........the score is awful

Thank you

Awesome thank you so much, i have been waiting to hear this, its the one thing about SKYFALL, I am not sure of.
I am not really a fan of Newman's and was very disapointed that Sam Mendes choose his go to guy over, David Arnold who has composed some of the best non John Barry Bond Scores.

the reason for David Arnold not being involved is that he signed on to be the musical director for the London Olympics before Skyfall was delayed due to MGM's financial issues.

had it not been delayed, Arnold would have scored the film.

@ hollywoodmusiclover - I'm not sure Mendes picked Newman over Arnold so much as Arnold was not available to score the film at the time, due to his commitments with the British Olympics, I believe.

Whoops, Funkster beat me to it. ;)

Thanks a bunch!

Bravo!

Sounds to me like Newman is channeling his inner David Arnold. At least on track 1, which is as far as I've gotten so far. Not sure how I feel about that. Not a fan of Arnold's Bond work, except for Casino Royale.

Thanks for the upload. Appreciate it.

EDIT: Now that I listen to more, it kinds of reminds me of some of Newton Howard's action scores, like The Tourist and Salt.

It's not very James Bond and doesn't have that magic the earlier film scores have.

It's not very James Bond and doesn't have that magic the earlier films scores have.

It's lacking a steady Bond theme throughout the soundtrack, something that John Barry was very good at.

im bit disappointed about it too

EDIT: Now that I listen to more, it kinds of reminds me of some of Newton Howard's action scores, like The Tourist and Salt.
Exactly it sounds like a generic action adventure spy score, it doesnt sound like a classic bond score.
Mind you its no where the nightmare of Eric Serra's Goldeneye score, but its definately not in the league of the Classic Barry , or Arnold Bond scores or even the single bond movie scores done by Hamlisch, Martin, Conti, or Kamen. Fingers crossed that David Arnold is back for Bond 24

Barry typically incorporated whatever the theme song was into the score (or, more likely, reverse engineered a theme from his score into a theme song). One thing I love about the Living Daylights score is how he incorporated not only the a-Ha title song into the score, but the two Pretenders track as well, one as the love theme and the other as an action cue, which was used to great effect. That's something that's almost always been lacking from post-Barry scores. Though, ironically, Arnold incorporated the kd lang theme "Surrender" from Tomorrow Never Dies into that score, before it was dropped as the main title and replaced by the Sherryl Crow song.

I hope they get someone other than Arnold to do the next one. All these contemporary scores sound dated. It's like listening to Spy Who Loved Me's disco score. You know exactly when that movie came out because of the score. It dates the movie. Arnold frequently falls into the same trap, using techno beats that date the score. Barry's scores are timeless. They need to get back to that.

Thank you!

I have to admit, as much as I want to like this score, so far I'm not hearing anything very special. With the exception of a few Bond bits strewn about, this could be the soundtrack to any number of action films.

At least we have Adele's sumptuous ballad. Of course it's conspicuously absent from this album, as is becoming the trend it seems. I'm looking forward to hearing it over the title sequence. If the early reviews are any indication, it should be a glorious affair. Fingers crossed.

In the meantime I'll keep listening to Newman's score, hoping it grows on me.

Actually it was because Mendes wanted to use Thomas Newman who he has worked with now going back to American Beauty, David has said it numerous times in Twitter posts to followers who have asked him, and in several interviews, but he has allways been very gracious and understanding about it. when he talks about it.

“My availability wasn’t an issue,” Arnold says. “[The film's director] Sam Mendes wanted to continue his working relationship with Thomas Newman.”

“I would hate to be a composer foisted upon a director if the director would rather have someone else and I have been lucky that the five directors who I’ve worked with on the Bond movies chose to work with me.

“You have to afford each director the same right and I’ve never expected to be asked back just because I’d done the films previously.”

I'll be hoping that Arnold returns for the next one. But with Mendes stating that he'd love to do another Bond, I'm sure we'll be seeing more Thomas Newman musically helmed entries in future.

I feel confident that we will see David Arnold return for Bond 24. Even if Mendes wants to make another Bond film some day, I dont see him doing 24 or even 25. He is the kind of director who has a pretty full plate. I would love to see a Chris Nolan directed, David Arnold scored Bond film.

Thank You.

You're not the only one who wants to see Nolan directing a Bond movie ;) And speaking of it, if Nolan directs, I don't know, let's say Bond 24 or Bond 25, that'd mean for Hans Zimmer to be in charge of the music... that'd be an interesting experiment.

Is anything wrong with my headphones? The score sounds more like a synth demo to me.

I'm not particularly taken in by a lot of the more restrained cues here, but the renditions of classic bond themes are quite enjoyable. I've always had difficulty enjoying the early bond scores because of the jazz feel they have to them but at times Newman's score is very enjoyable. I think it could have used with some significant trimming of the extra cues to make a better album presentation but otherwise it is solid. I'm sure it will be great in the film, though it doesn't really fit with the style of score I tend to listen to very heavily so I doubt I'll be buying the soundtrack.

It's not bad, I'd take this over eric serra's laughable 'score' any day, but it's too 'newman-y' and like funnyML says, some tracks sound synth-demo like. :/ Not good for a bond film. A bond score must ALWAYS utilize a real orchestra. Now, this at least does, but some of it results in that of trevor rabin's national treasure score, which AFAIK utilized over 100 piece orchestra. Ouch.

Never the less it is still interesting. Would I have preferred it to be david arnold, or even someone else? You bet. But I'll wait until I see the film, and hear what happens then. Some of the tracks are cool, but I'm not sure yet. I've only heard about 30 minutes so far. The song by Adele, which was released as a single and is AVAILABLE, is quite good, and returns to the grand tradition of naming the song title after the film's, and yes, it does use a real orchestra.

I will saw one thing, the brass on this is awesome.

...Faaaaantastic.
You bet! :)

Well, I have listened to the score, and I have to say it's not horrible, but not up there with the likes of John Barry. It certainly has it's "Bond" Moments though! A good score overall

Not bad, sounding like the Powell's Bourne...
But Hope David Arnold back for the next...

thanks for the share ;)

nice.

thank you. cant wait to hear Newman's take on the Bond theme.

Edit: there doesnt seem to be a full-fledged Bond theme on this, doesnt mean its not in the film right enough....



They licensed Arnolds Bond Theme, Newman didn't wrote his own interpretation - that's what I read.

...and thank you very much for the bonus track! ;)

Indeed, you must probably heard that theme you mentioned on the different TV spots, speaking of which is an excerpt of "The Name's Bond... James Bond" cue from Casino Royale.

thats fair enough. just because there wasnt a Bond theme on the release, doesnt mean its not in the film.

Thank a lot.

This simply isn�t true.....Arnold has said that he was able to score Skyfall and that the Olympics was never an issue but spoke with Mendes and was told that Mendes wanted to work with his normal composer Thomas Newman

Newman and Mendes always work together, like Burton & Elfman, M. Night & Howard or Williams & Spielberg.

Enjoy and Please Say Thanks :)

Okay, I've been listening to Newman's take on Bond for about a day now. I've tried very had to be open minded, even willing myself to like the score because it's James Bond after all and I'm a fan. But it's just not working for me. This is hard to believe given Newman's track record and numerous accolades, but it seems he wasn't the right choice for this material.

Obviously I haven't seen Skyfall and I still have hope that the music will compliment the visual style of the film, but as an alone standing album, I find the majority of these tracks to be uninspired and flat, which is so disappointing because I always look forward to these releases.

I miss David Arnold. I remember when Tomorrow Never Dies came out I played the CD for weeks. Same with Casino Royale, and both scores are still favorites in my 'modern' Bond collection. Other than the beautiful song by Adele, I doubt I'll listen to Skyfall music much after today. A shame... and a missed opportunity.

Thanks. I hope I like it, basing on the various comments in this thread.

To be frank, I think the theme song is just as bland as the score and I'm not interested to listen to either again! Also, for the record, I've been a Bond fan ever since they started showing them on TV back in the 1970s. I liked them and the music so much I used to record the soundtrack off the TV using a small cassette recorder (the first one I ever recorded incidentally was the second showing of 'Thunderball' on ITV back in May 1978 - I was 12 at the time). Anyway, 'Tomorrow Never Dies' was the last soundtrack I ever listened to loads when it came out, 'Skyfall' in my opinion is one of the worst!

you just have to hope its not haphazardly thrown into the film last minute like it was with Eric Serras GoldenEye score lol

I am just hoping the movie version of SKYFALL, plays out better than the Single. I really think the Backup Chorus is my main reason for not liking the song. But i am hopeful it will be like You know my name where i didnt like the single release(for the same reason) but i really liked the version that plays over the opening titles.

THANKS, Lilu. Nice to see you back here posting again, we have all missed you! :)

This simply isn�t true.....Arnold has said that he was able to score Skyfall and that the Olympics was never an issue but spoke with Mendes and was told that Mendes wanted to work with his normal composer Thomas Newman

Yes, and I bet it was a contractual aspect in securing Mendes for the job. The Bond producers are extremely proprietorial and usually dictate who gets to do what, where, how and when.

Why are people saying this album doesn't have the Bond theme? I haven't listened to the score itself yet, but I heard a sample of track 22 and the 007 theme is right there. It sounds like the version used for the "Casino Royale" credits, but it also appears to be a new performance of it.

THANKS, Lilu. Nice to see you back here posting again, we have all missed you! :)

William

Thanks a lot !!! :) :) :)

Hi, it is possible to upload the bonus track separetely? Thanks!

Thank you sooooo much! ;-)

Cor, what a stinker.

Am I surprised? No.

Generic action score with occasional superficial hat-tips to the Bond sound. Exactly what I expected.

Dear world - how about a British composer to score these British movies in Britain about a British spy? Debbie Wiseman? George Fenton? Joby Talbot? Ed Shearmur? Ilan Eshheri? All could've whipped this electronica nonsense right out of the park.

Oh, well...

David Arnold is British, and you said his scores stunk!

Damn, there's always somebody who remembers stuff I said ages ago... ;)

I haven't been the biggest fan of Arnold's scores, to be sure... but I think he was at least in the right ballpark. Newman's score just isn't doing it for me in even the most peripheral way. Arnold has been Bond for fifteen years - and let's not forget he was John Barry's recommendation... so I'd rather have him back, on reflection... although what I'd really like is a completely new choice - one of those I highlighted - if they were allowed creative freedom, that could result in some genuinely amazing score.

As it is, we've got a sad case of Hollywood nepotism being put ahead of the needs of the film.

I would've preferred David Arnold myself, but I haven't heard Skyfall yet. The samples sound nice, though, and the score seems to use the title song melody, which is always a plus in a Bond movie.

Sam Mendes seems to insist on using Thomas Newman for all his projects, which is perfectly fine. The director is the author of the movie, and a director who knows what they want is preferable to some mercenary who does whatever the producer tells them to. Even if I'm not a fan of the musical direction they pick for the movie (e.g. heavy metal in Mission: Impossible II), at least it reflects a personal style.

No, Arnold just wasn't asked to do the score. He confirmed it on Twitter.

https://twitter.com/DavidGArnold/status/260723816966258689

I really liked the score, but you have to be shitting me about this one: https://twitter.com/DavidGArnold/status/261877884250107904

Tom Newman, being one of the most talented composers in Hollywood wasn't able to do his own Bond theme? It's just sad.

As much as I really dig the score, maybe he wasn't the better choice this time. I like Arnold's take on Bond, but I also want something new and fresh. Maybe JNH next time :D

Okay, this score is INCREDIBLE. Absolutely love it, most likely the score of the year for me... and it's even BETTER in the film, which is quite frankly a work of art and easily the best movie of the year. That aside, there's plenty of music in the film that isn't on the Soundtrack (practically the entire movie is scored) and it's just perfect. If you hate this soundtrack, you hate good movie music. Plain and simple. ...that aside, go see this film, on the biggest screen possible. It's one of those movies you'll be telling your kids "I saw that in a cinema" for years to come...

Yessss. I will see it on a big screen. I absolutely love Sam Mendes' work, I am really looking forward to it.

You're the first to say something about the score that's 100% positive. I am so relieved...

Nothing about this score disappoints me, I'm biased because I find Newman's work incredible all the time... but within the movie, it's so incredibly perfect I couldn't imagine anyone else doing a better job. What Mendes has done is create a work of art, and the cinematography is something you just don't see these days on film. This thing will win Oscars. Never been "moved" by a Bond film in my life as much as Skyfall. Easily the best Craig Bond, One of the (if not THE) best bond film of all time. Go and see this thing in the biggest, packed, loudest cinema you know of...

I don't even know when I'm going to see it. I'm going with friends, but we're going to see it on a really big screen. This will also be my first time of seeing a Mendes film in cinema. I didn't even know him when his last film was out. I just remember I talked about Revolutionary Road. I can value that more now. Because there is no director these days who does more for me.

I'm happy to hear you're biased because most people who said something about the score are not. Either they don't like his music or they don't know much about his work and cannot really put it in terms for me to understand why they liked it.

Getting really emotional here... I'll just try to keep it down until next week. After all, I still have 8 1/2 Bonds to watch. I'll be busy. ^^

I'm excited.

ok, so theres a version of the Bond theme on track 22, thats cool.

for the end of the film they just used "The Name's Bond... James Bond" from Casino Royale.

Glad there's a few TN fans out there. When I was a kid listening to Back to the Future, yeah, I listened because I wanted to re-live the movie. But my appreciation of scores has evolved past wanting to picture Bond or giant fighting robots or Batman in my mind's eye as I listen. Now it's about evoking general emotions, and that's what Thomas Newman excels at. No, he doesn't do as many hummable themes as some of us might like, but he sets a tone really well, and he can break your heart when he wants to. Don't believe me, listen to "The Letter That Never Came" on Lemony Snickets (for example - it's on Spotify). But it's art, y'all--to each their own.

Oh, and I read somewhere that Mendes made selecting his own composer a condition of taking the gig.

I saw the film on Sunday night and absolutely loved it! Also, whilst the score may not be that memorable on its own, it does work very well within the context of the film. I certainly will be buying a copy as soon as it comes out on blu-ray :-)

So, is this the correct film order?

(Thanks, by the way/)

Oh noooooo cmon wtf
the Fight scene in the Casion with the Dragons is not on the Score !! Why jus why ?

this is included, at the begining of the track "Granborough Road", btw the track of the short shootout & set up on the island is really missing

Hey your right ;)

Still for the next movie i want David Arnold back !

I got the following info from a forum concerning to the real sequencing of each track of the score:


01. Grand Bazaar, Istanbul - Bond finds Ronson, car chase, shootout and bike chase. Closes with Bond diving onto the train.
14. The Bloody Shot - Entire train sequence - shootout, digger scene, fight and Bond's fall.
Adele's Skyfall - Title sequence
02. Voluntary Retirement - Begins with Mallory's line to M - "Retirement planning" and ends with M stopped by police on Vauxhall Bridge.
15. Enjoying Death - Bond lying in bed with the Turkish babe, drinking Heini, popping Benzedrine pills etc.
Konyali - Ensemble H�seyin T�rkmenier - Bond bored out of his mind.
CNN Breaking New Theme #2 - Herb Avery - News of the attack.
Reprise of M's theme from "Voluntary Retirement" - Bond epiphany and M at the funeral.
03. New Digs - Begins with the drive to the underground HQ, ends with a witty exercise montage (treadmill, sit-ups etc.), while Tanner plays Mr. Exposition on who the perpetrator of the attack could be. Ends with Bond unable to do any more pull-ups. .
10. Day Wasted - Begins with the "Skyfall - Done" exchange at the evaluation, followed by "Day - Wasted." Second half is Bond is Bond cutting out the bullets, and getting Tanner to do a ballistics report, identifying Patrice from three suspects who all use depleted uranium bullets.
05. Brave New World - Begins with Q showing Bond his gadgets, ends with Bond swimming a few laps at a rooftop pool in Shanghai.
06. Shanghai Drive - Bond in disguise at the airport watching Severine and Patrice, then tailing Patrice across the Yan'an highway.
Reprise of the mysterioso opening of Grand, Bizarre (IIRC without the brassy stinger) as Patrice kills the guards at the lobby, then follows Patrice across the first floor, using the dead bodies as footprints.
07. Jellyfish - Bond grabs onto the lift and tries to fight the pain. Ends with the assassination.
08. Silhouette - Begins with fight, and ends with Bond questioning a hanging Patrice (who doesn't answer) until he's sucked out by the wind current.
09. Modigliani - An admiring Severine spots Bond, he vanishes, and then he analyses the left-over machinery (rifle and glass cutter)..
17. Close Shave - Eve drops by.
31 Old Dog, New Tricks (unused) - Replaced by Moonlight - Jun Chen - Bond and Eve chat and she gives him a wet shave. Mallory's military background is revealed..
13. Komodo Dragon - Cut to the Macau casino as Eve says "Old dog, new tricks" - Ends as Bond places his bet.
12. Someone Usually Dies - Very effective cue as Bond lets Severine know that he's aware of her three bodyguards, he identifies the tattoo on her wrist, wins her trust, raises a glass to the three thugs. Reminiscent of the beach scene with Bond and Domino in TB, along with Bond and Viv in Fleming's TSWLM.

Thanks GreatKenji. Very helpful. So there are really only a few tracks missing from Silva's island. Maybe they'll turn up on itunes. Could have sworn I heard Adrenaline earlier in the movie.

Okay, this score is INCREDIBLE. Absolutely love it, most likely the score of the year for me... and it's even BETTER in the film, which is quite frankly a work of art and easily the best movie of the year. That aside, there's plenty of music in the film that isn't on the Soundtrack (practically the entire movie is scored) and it's just perfect. If you hate this soundtrack, you hate good movie music. Plain and simple. ...that aside, go see this film, on the biggest screen possible. It's one of those movies you'll be telling your kids "I saw that in a cinema" for years to come...
So, it lived up to my expectations. Yes, it's a very artful film. The friends I went with complained about some parts of the plot, but I didn't understand why they actually cared about that. Some illogic parts of the plot don't automatically make the film bad. Because films, even though most people may disagree with me, are a representation of reality, even if they create a second reality. Ah yeah, this kind of thing also is the reason why Titanic never got through to me emotionally, it was just very unrealistic.

Anyway, great camera work from the great Roger Deakins. I loved the settings and the dialogue. It wasn't too stupid - I hate clich�d dialogues more than anything. The humour in the film was pretty original in places, unlike the Bond humour of the last fifteen years... I liked Bardem's Silva a lot, it wasn't just a copy of the Joker. All in all, the film's format was a bit strange because it didn't feel overblown like many action films of recent times, but that's a good thing. It was almost intimate and I liked that.

I'll definitely see it again sometime soon.


Glad there's a few TN fans out there. When I was a kid listening to Back to the Future, yeah, I listened because I wanted to re-live the movie. But my appreciation of scores has evolved past wanting to picture Bond or giant fighting robots or Batman in my mind's eye as I listen. Now it's about evoking general emotions, and that's what Thomas Newman excels at. No, he doesn't do as many hummable themes as some of us might like, but he sets a tone really well, and he can break your heart when he wants to. Don't believe me, listen to "The Letter That Never Came" on Lemony Snickets (for example - it's on Spotify). But it's art, y'all--to each their own.

Oh, and I read somewhere that Mendes made selecting his own composer a condition of taking the gig.

"You brought your long-term collaborator Thomas Newman on board to score Skyfall, despite David Arnold having scored the last five Bond films. Was it difficult to go in there and say �I don�t want David, I�m bringing my own guy�?

It was, because I�m a fan of David and I was very conscious to not throw out the baby with the bathwater, that would have just been churlish and stupid. [�] There were certain people who I wanted to bring with me who I just knew would make MY movie with me. I alone could not bring the kind of personal touch to the film that I wanted to. So cinematographer Roger Deakins, production designer Dennis Gassner, my script supervisor Jayne-Ann Tenggren and Tom Newman, those are the people who for me were deal breakers. These are the people who I wanted to make the movie with me. I think Tom did a brilliant job but it was a big ask for Barbara and Michael. They had to trust me, because he�d never written a score like this before.

Have you met David Arnold since?

Yes, I met him and said this is how I�m going to go, and he said he thought that would happen because I�ve worked with Tom on every movie. I don�t think he was that surprised."
Skyfall Interview: Sam Mendes (http://heyuguys.co.uk/the-heyuguys-interview-skyfall-director-sam-mendes/)

They're the same people who interviewed Thomas Newman at the Skyfall premiere.

And I couldn't agree with you more on what you said about Newman. That's exactly why I like his music so much. I finally saw "Unstrung Heroes" yesterday and I think I'm only now beginning to realize how much his music has an impact on the films he scores.

Thank you. :)

Thanks! :)

*sigh* Lukewarm feelings. As has been said before, it sounds a lot like Hans Zimmer, has a nice rendition of the Bond-theme, but not much else to write home about.

Wondering how DAVID Newman might have approached it .

Oh, and next time, why not hire Michael Giacchino? He has proven to be "in the Barry-mood" for at least since he scored The Incredibles!

Just my two cents.

I really cannot understand the comments comparing this score to Hans Zimmer, or anyone at RC. Nothing in the style or instrumentation is like them. SKYFALL sounds just like how Newman has approached every other non-action movie.

Even if I didn't know he composed this, I wouldn't instantly recognize it was him.

I've only given the soundtrack a few listen-throughs so far, but "The Chimera" is a really excellent track; it even stood out to me in the film, before I even gave the album a gander.

"Silhouette" & "Skyfall" are also quite good. Wasn't too found of how loud and blaring some of the music was in the fight scenes (particularly the pre-title bike chase), but maybe that's just because I saw it in IMAX.

All in all, a really solid score. I was hoping for some more intimate music, like "Road to Chicago" from ROAD TO PERDITION, but unfortunately the film didn't have any scenes like that (unlike CASINO ROYALE).

THANKS

Thanks!

Thank you so much

Excellent, thank you so much.

Saw the movie today. :)
This soundtrack is very worth it in all of it's content. Thomas Newman did a very good job. Fan talking. :)

Thank you!!!

Thank you very much.

Please re-up.
