:) Can anyone provide the link to the expanded Quantum of Solace that Kaf posted? I actually **just** saw it and Casino Royale on cable last night. I am not the biggest Bond fan, and had forgone watching them, and now find that I enjoyed both the films and their scores...

I've started some reups. It will take a few days.

As a longtime 007 music fan, this is a dream come true.

Thanks for re-uploading all this fantastic music for all of us to share!

Totally agree. The missing cues etc.. fantastic work. MR. T.
I salute you!

Thank you for the re-upload!

I'm looking for some Octopussy tracks which are not available in the definitive and extended scores:
1/At the beginning of the movie when Bond is in his mini jet (the music from 6min27 to 7min02)
2/Bond's arrival in India (from 23min59 to 24min45) (Octopussy Score Welcome To Delhi - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pfme1YRSPm8&feature=relmfu) not complete and no original sound here)
3/Checkpoint Charlie (from 1h18min27 to 1h18min55) (Octopussy Complete Score - Checkpoint Charlie - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBFfsoJNjfA&feature=relmfu))
4/Auction/Egg Hunt (from 22min21 to 23min05) (Octopussy Score Egg Hunt - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHLmj58sU4k&feature=relmfu))

Thanks in advance ;-)

It's saying File Not Found. Re-up please? :)

I can't download the Octopussy.zip file, can you re-upload it please ?

just quick massive "THANK YOU" for all your hard work in getting these bond scores
just wanting "casino royale and the spy who love me"

again thank you sir

Thanks a ton KaFaraqGatri!

I'll be posting an expanded Skyfall soon. It's quite basic, but will hopefully give you something to tide you over till I do a proper version next year.

OMG! OMG! Thanks, KaFaraqGatri!!!

Can't wait for the Quantum of Solace!

I just heard this piece of music in the documentary "Everything Or Nothing":
eon music.mp3 (http://www.mediafire.com/?s6ya8uaec0vl514)

I know it's from one of the 007 movies, but can't remember which one it was and the title on the OST... Can anybody help me, please?

It's from OHMSS - Dusk At Piz Gloria

I can't download the Octopussy.zip file, can you re-upload it please ?

Seems to work now. Although I think I saw that some of the youtube tracks are re-recordings done by the youtube uploader.

KaraFaraqGatri, thank you so much for all your work! Any chance you could re-post Quantum of Solace? Thanks!

I can't download the Octopussy.zip file, can you re-upload it please ?
It's not working for me.

Thanks for your work, KaFaraqGatri! With respect, there are some minor respects regarding the order of the cues in some of your soundtracks. But again, thanks for your great work!

That sounds really nice, KaFaraqGatri! :D I look forward to it! And by the way, what's your current progress on your remarkable work in the making of the complete score of The Spy Who Loved Me?

See the first page ;)

See the first page ;)

Oh, yes, sorry, my bad, I hadn't seen it for quite a long time. Well, I really understand how difficult your work is, and I feel admiration towards you, and it doesn't matter how many time it will take you, I shall be patient, thank you very much for taking your precious time in this project. :)

Absolutely no need to apologize; I just updated the front page recently so its quite understandable that you may have missed it.

Great Topic KaFaraqGatri, my only problem is that Packupload still asks me to go on a Doodle jump pag and creat an account by giving my phone number, which is completely out of question. How can I proceed please?

You do not need to give a phone number to download, let alone sign up. I signed up without trouble. Either you got a pop-up or an ad or some kind of spyware. I've got Spybot S&D installed, Spyware Blaster and jvPower Tools blocking any and all malicious ads and I havent had issue.

Yep, indeed, I just enter a fake number and here we go! Thanks again, keep up the good work commander!

It's from OHMSS - Dusk At Piz Gloria

thank you very much for your help vzok!!!

Thanks so much for the re-ups KaFaraqGatri!

In case anyone missed it when I posted this almost a year ago, there is one cue from OHMSS that has yet to see a release. It's the music that plays when Bond is being pursued by Bloefeld's men in the town after his escape from Piz Gloria. This is a DVD rip, and while it may not be perfect, hopefully it will tide some of you over until the cue sees an official release. Enjoy!
Ice Rink Waltz.mp3 (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ekaj01cbjwslba4)

Thank you! Grabbing them as fast as I can.

James Bond 007: NightFire (38 tracks, 111 mins) please

Thanks so much for the re ups, I got most of them i needed but not all before they went bye bye.
Kicking myself for not going right for On her Majestys secret service first. that was the main one I wanted.

Anyone else having trouble downloading?

Anyone else having trouble downloading?

Yes, I'm having problems too. It says, "Server Error. The website encountered an error while retrieving linhttp://s2.packupload.com/CSL74GK0UKK. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly." This happened to all the links I tried (5 or 6 of them). The link suggests reloading the page later. Maybe the problem is with the website? Any one have any ideas as to what's going on?

Jasonjhn8,
I had the same problem the other day after I downloaded a number of them, I waited till yesterday and they all worked fine. give it a few hours or try again tomorrow. It might be somehting where they were doing maintnance or something

I also recommend signing up. Its free.

Well, i tried again just now and i'm getting the same result. I cleared by internet cache and that didn't make a difference either. I guess I'll try again tomorrow.

I tried again today, even signed up for an account, but same results. Guess I'll try again tomorrow.

No crack here. Just a different opinion, but a million thanks as always for sharing your philosophy with us on the much debated and really deep subject, that is Never Say Never Again, Biff! :)

These are brill, only I can't open the man with the golden gun with the password. thats the only one

looking forward to this one

thank you!!! :)

By the way, an idea crossed my mind, is there any The Spy Who Loved Me For Your Consideration Promo? :O Do they used to send promos back then D:?

The film companies did use to send out cassettes and (I think) LPs for consideration. But they were usually the same as the soundtracks, at least the non-Bond promos I have come across.

._.

---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 PM ----------

It's just that yesterday I was watching the trailer of For Your Eyes Only and they used the ski chase cue heard at the beginning of The Spy Who Loved Me and that made me think of from where they took it to use it D:

Anyone looking for 5.1 versions of "You Know My Name" taken from the film and fixed so the beginning and end are clear of noise, take a look at my thread here.
Link: Thread 123524

Also, I have a 5.1 version (corrected from the poor Blu-Ray mix) of "Live and Let Die" on that page along with a custom mix of Skyfall in 5.1 by mixing an instrumental stereo source with the vocal stereo source.
Enjoy!

The LALD Blu-ray 5.1 mix uses the never-before-released quadrophonic stereo mix of Live and Let Die.

Casino Royale fans rejoice!

PeteCo

@KaFaraqGatri Yes, but it seems like the vocals are in the back channels while the surround channels are in the front channel. I'm not sure if my disk is odd or whether it was an unintentional flub by the sound mixers.

:) Can anyone provide the link to the expanded Quantum of Solace that Kaf posted? I actually **just** saw it and Casino Royale on cable last night. I am not the biggest Bond fan, and had forgone watching them, and now find that I enjoyed both the films and their scores...

I second this. Can anyone provide a link?

I'll be upping these soon. Sorry for the wait.

Does anyone happen to know how/where to go the little cue of "into Russia" (or Into St. Petersburg), its about 20 seconds long, you hear it when the Bond's plane...lands in St. petersburg, before he meets jack wade.

I'll be upping these soon. Sorry for the wait.

Don't be, the waiting actually adds to the excitement. There are times I play those "slow/low cues with high tension" tracks from the score, like Death of the Tarantula, right before choosing to come to this thread. It sure prickle my skin with suspense to find out wether you succeeded or not... XD

You have to go to Rafael 00_Agent's Bond Music thread (Thread 45183) to find that track, it's one of few tracks that Kat was unable to edit out the SFX, reason why it's not here... I would post it for you, but unfortunately, since Mediafire changge their lay-out page, I can't seem to grasp where I should go to upload a file without the need to sign-up...

Thanks for all links but I've got a problem with Packupload. To download files, I have to enter my phone number and I have to pay for it (4 euros/week !!!). Is there any other solution to download. I'm looking, like many others, for The Spy Who Loved Me expanded Score.
Thanks for any answer.

You don't need to do that at all. That's likely a pop-up or something. I've never had to do that, you should just get a link and that's all.

Ok thanks. I finally have the link without the pop-up. Thanks for the link and your message, and thanks for all you share with us ! Very very good job. ;-)

Yay, now the collection is complete- thank you KaFaraqGatri.

Do you still plan to upload an expanded Skyfall?

I don't think so, no. It would have mainly been a reorganization of the album into film order. For now, that's it from me with Bond stuff.

Kafa is SOOOOO the man!!

Thanks, so much, bud!!

:-)

Many thanks for all your hard work and dedication with these magnificent scores, KaFaraqGartri!

On a side note, I have posted new links for these numerous times since 2010, and after multiple collapses of filehosters I won't be reposting new links anymore.

perhaps some of us could continue to post them for you, so that newcomers can download these

Thanks, thats a kind offer. People can do that if they want; they've been up long enough now for others to have gotten them but every now and then a new user crops up who is interested. I'm done uploading these, but hey - its been an exciting 93 pages :)

TSWLM, at long last! Thank you Ka!

THE SPY WHO LOVED ME!
THANK YOU KAFARAQGATRI
for this new great issue!
An old dream has come true!
I REALLY LOVE YOU!!!

I got home and opened the Shrine and I immediately saw your Bond thread. I jump to the last post and I yelp a VERY loud "YES!!!" Thank you KaFaraqGatri
for your hard word and diligence on this thread and of course, for The Spy Who Loved Me ( and all your other works). Listening to it now and very much appreciating it. :)

I've been following this thread for the last two years and it makes me very happy to finally see everything done. It's sad to read that this is it for you and bond but i'm looking forward to all other things you share with us in the future. Thank you very much for your time and hard work. :)

-S

And now, the collection's complete! Merci beaucoup, man!

Awesome!! Finally have my complete James Bond to listen to. Cannot express the thanks for all your hard work on this. Cheers.

That was worth the wait, Kafa!! Thanks, again!!

:-)

I don't think so, no. It would have mainly been a reorganisation of the album into film order. For now, that's it from me with Bond stuff.

No problem about Skyfall. Your dedication to this enormous task of Bond sountrack-dom is most appreciated by this Bond fan. You have my most sincere thanks for all your hard work in expanding these scores. Short of the scores being properly re-released your versions are the ones that I listen to the most. Again many thanks for your generosity of time and hard work in services to Bond music. Hopefully, someone might notice the 93 pages in this thread alone (and many more in others) and realise that there is a market for these scores in their fullness and finally get into gear to release them, even if only as limited editions.

Tak

thank you for being my God for three years

Thank you for The Spy who loved Me great work
Will there be a back cover ?

Thank you for all your hard work and sharing the music of this fabulous series. Your generosity is much appreciated.

Thanks for all the hard work! This thread has been a genuine treasure-trove.

Thank you and goodbye.

For those who downloaded my cover set, here's the final back to complete the collection (though I'm still holding out hope for a Skyfall one day!):



Full-Sized Back ()

Thanks to KFG for the amazing work and for seeing it through to completion!

Enjoy!

Thank you for The Spy Who Loved Me...finally! Your work on these has been extraordinary and I thank you!

Thanks, thats a kind offer. People can do that if they want; they've been up long enough now for others to have gotten them but every now and then a new user crops up who is interested. I'm done uploading these, but hey - its been an exciting 93 pages :)

i would like to do a megabond thread. regular OSTS and expanded scores. credit would be given to original uploaders. we could have kfaraq's and gkgyver's expanded scores. for fairness' sake, we could include expanded edits by others, but in all honesty, i haven't heard any expanded versions quite up to the level of quality of what you've given us in this thread.

Thank you for The Spy Who Loved Me...finally! Your work on these has been extraordinary and I thank you!

Finally the collection is complete!

indeed. i am very impressed with the TSWLM expansion. i listened to it 3 times on repeat today. i feel like i have a new appreciation for hamlisch's score. it's actually better than i've usually given it credit for.

I agree, I liked it a lot more in the film than on album.

A mega thread would be a good idea, but it's only worth setting it up if this one's links go down.

i think we could just upload them on demand then.

Kafa your work on this fan-made expanded rips are all of the highest quality, and it's fantastic to finally see the spy who loved me expanded. From all of the original soundtracks this was one of the worst represented on album.

In relation to TSWLM, it's great to now hear new interpolations of the song theme in 'Arrival at the Ruins', 'Bond's Bandage/Ferry Arrival', and the Bond 77 theme used on 'Underwater'. This track also has a cool variation of the 'Ride to Atlantis' theme. Maybe one of the best of the new tracks.
One thing i noticed too and which was not presented on the OST, is a 5-note motif for the Russian/Anya characters in 'Missing Submarine', 'Briefing Anya' and 'General Gogol'. Interesting.
Also great work you've made on 'The Pyramids', with mixing the original track with the new material especially now with a new finale added. I got used to hear this track in the OST which fades to 'Eastern Lights', and i was surprised when i hear this new end, which is rather good actually. Of course that you can notice the difference in sound from the OST mix and the new music, but all of that is forgivable considering the source you've been working on them.
Another track worth of mention is 'Trouble with Jaws'. Not because is a memorable track per se, but because apart of 'The Tanker', it's the one that most resembles to a John Barry track in a Bond score.

Out of curiosity, the Lawrence of Arabia spoof scene which has the theme written by Jarre for that movie, was left out of your expanded. I assume it was excluded because was not originally composed by Hamlisch?

Finishing just to thank you again for TSWLM, and praise all the extraordinary rips you've made to the other scores! Thanks Kafa :)

Thanks for your kind words. Its nice when people notice little things (like the mixing of The Pyramids scene).

I did leave off the non-original stuff and some stuff was just unrippable. This edition I did some time ago; I was planning on revisiting it -- and had started doing it again, as I stated some pages back -- but everyone was so eager to hear it, I thought I'd post the old one. Its still an OK effort, and I doubt I could have gotten anything much extra, to be honest.

As the saying goes, "never say never" - I may still do a Skyfall edit one day. After that, that would be a good place to end it - anyone who's seen the film will know why, the door is closed on a certain part of Bond history and the films from here on in will be different.

i like how hamlisch pays homage to barry in a few subtle ways. he uses part of "stalking" from FRWL, for instance, in the scene where bond and anya are being stalked by jaws in the ruins.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH KaFaraqGatri

This is an excellent job! Hamlisch's score, as it turns out, is pretty underrated. I always forget how much of the Bond theme he uses.

Thanks so much, KaFaraqGatri!

KaFaraqGatri, what can I say other than what has been already said. A huge thank you for presenting us with the very best of Bond Music. This has indeed been a real pleasure and this has been For our ears Only! The quality has been second to none and it has been great hearing some of the lesser known music of the Bond series. Once again a huge thank you and maybe we will be treated to Skyfall.

Your mission KaFaraqGatri has met with considerable success.

Hats off to you, KaFaraqGatri. You've provided us all with the most complete bunch of Bond music to meet our ears so far, and I'll be forever obliged to you for all your efforts.

I support the idea of a 007 mega-post, including your 007 score editions and more editions by other people, with extended versions from Casino Royale (1967) and Never Say Never Again. They're not official movies (and the first is an almost unbearable mess of a film) but both are based on Ian Fleming's creature and deserve a little niche in every Bond fan's heart (at least, they do in mine).

Once again, I'd like to say thank you to KaFaraqGatri for all the time and effort he's spent on these scores. Your efforts are greatly appreciated. :)

I'm sorry for asking more from you, KaFaraqGatri; you've given to all of us so much without taking some sort of advantage or asking something in return; the thing is I was think if there's a possibility for you to work with ski chase cue from TSWLM, would you? =O

Its impossible. I spent hours on it, but it sounded bad. However, you can make an approximate version using the OST - which I did.

I see... D: Well, thank you very much anyways, you did a remarkable work :)

Thank you, Kenji. I appreciate that.

yeah, yoyoboy did a expanded version with the film version but it sounded pretty awful. no offense to his work or anything, but it just ain't possible

separate question, kafaraq: where did that instrumental version on all time high come from on the expanded octopussy? just curious because it's a super clean rip

separate question, kafaraq: where did that instrumental version on all time high come from on the expanded octopussy? just curious because it's a super clean rip

Super clean, really? Lol, I think its a little rough - it was an old source and the remastering I did wasn't 100% but I tried. Its a 7" vinyl of the 1983 single.

clean enough to enjoy, anyway

Superb Sir. I doff my hat to you .
I have tried for many years to get all the music.
Even adding dialogue with the music just for giggles, but NOTHING comes as close to this for a COMPLETE collection.
Wonderful work.
Even the late JB would marvel at these..You are 'the master'
This should be your profession.
Thank you once again from a canny Scot.

Cheers, mate. Appreciate that.

Hello, thanks for The Spy Who Loved Me. :)

Also an avid fan of your reconstructions, I wondered why you did a sub-standard job on the Octopussy score. Why didn't you include about 15 minutes of the wonderful suspense music by Johzn Barry that appears in the second, Europe part of the movie? I'm waiting for this material for years to emerge. What was the problem? Disinterest from your part? Instead, you chose to include more of Nic Raine, which doesn't really cut it.

Thanks KFG for all your hard work on these albums. Thanks for the latest / last. Appreciated.

kafaraq you mentioned a little while ago ..that you had a little extra piece from OHMSS.
When Bond has just come off the mountain, and is hiding from the SPECTRE baddies in the village.... ?
Is that still available ..?
I can't seem to find it ..
Thank you once again for these.Superb!

Its impossible. I spent hours on it, but it sounded bad. However, you can make an approximate version using the OST - which I did.

Could you possibly link us this approximate version? Even if it's not perfect we'd really like to hear it.

Also what happened to the other cues in TSWLM? ones like:

Bike chasing Lotus
Tanker launches Submarines
Jailbreak
Disarming the Warhead
Accessing Control Room
Preventing Armaggeddon
Escaping the Tanker

YoYoBoy managed to get these without dialogue/sfx- they just need some good old KaFaraqGatri clean up. Could you give them a go?

I don't mean to be a negative nancy about it but it seems nearly a quarter of the tracks have been left out

Fantastic! Thanks!

I think Escaping The Tanker is here as Loading Torpedoes, and Disarming the Warhead / Accessing Control Room is here as Diffusion.

@ vzok

No, they are not. Brok2 is right.

@brok2

Same problem with Octopussy - he left out quite a lot of the unreleased suspense cues, which to me are essential.
For my part, it would be good enough to have them with slight s/fx - rather than not having them at all. Somehow,
KaFaraqGatri thinks otherwise.

Those of you who don't appreciate what KaFaraqGatri has done here for the past few years, can always try to complete the soundtracks themselves rather than complain about someone else's generosity.

No bad feelings, raybond. It's just that he was on such an amazing roll with his expanded Bond material that we are used to certain standards. On Octopussy and TSWLM, he clearly left out so much of the material everyone was waiting for, that it just shows. Everything else he did was nothing short of spectacular. Speaking personally, I never touched these film scores because I literally believed that I could never do a job as good as KaFaraqGatri.

Mother of god.... is this real? hell yeah! Thank you SOOO much!! for your sharing and work on these soundtracks ;)

Thanks for the updated links and all!!!

Those of you who don't appreciate what KaFaraqGatri has done here for the past few years, can always try to complete the soundtracks themselves rather than complain about someone else's generosity.

Why is it that whenever someone critiques a body of work, or requests something made available that a creator has revealed they have done behind the scenes, people like you always appear and puff out your chests and declare them to be dissing the whole body of work, and you tell them that clearly the only course of action is to do it themselves? Have you ever, even once in your life decided that you do not have the right to be dissatisfied or want more of something that you find really good, because you are incapable of doing that job and reaching that level of quality yourself?

If a builder makes you an amazing house, but forgets to put the glass in the skylight, do you hold your tongue because you can't fit glass?

Do you, for that matter, decide to build a whole new house for yourself from scratch?

Do you now understand how archaic and flawed the ideal you and people like you present to the world; that unless you do something yourself, you must either put up or shut up?

We love and massively appreciate what has been done by KaFaraqGatri and those like him. All we're asking is that, having run 99m of a 100m dash, they take one more step and cross that finish line.

I think the problem with forums is that "tone of voice" cannot always be read easily, because its just words on a screen. So someone saying, "Why isn't X on here?" might be read as being quite harsh and rude, when it might just be a genuine, neutral-toned question - which would be completely obvious if it was being spoken.

I also think its not really a good analogy to use a house being built - after all, a house needs a skylight. No one needs any extra tracks; it just would have been nice. But I didn't forget to include anything. Anything not on these was not on for a reason.

Its been a while since I did these, so I don't know the specifics, but anything I left off would likely due to there being SFX. Or perhaps the music I had was in stereo but there were elements in one of the channels that needed removing, which would mean copying the clean music from one channel to the other, thus creating a mono passage. I wouldn't do this, because it would sound strange. Perhaps this is what other fans have done? There is one example I can think of. There's a rip of TSWLM I heard years ago and it had a DVD rip of the ski case. Not only is the whole score sped-up by 4% (as its from a PAL source) but its littered with obnoxious effects and crashes to mono at numerous points where the sound from one channel has been duplicated into the other to remove SFX. It sounds terrible.

Octopussy was one of the hardest to do, and I just did what I could. TSWLM, as I said before, is my initial attempt. I was working on a new version, which has better sound quality. I am still working on it, and if it ever gets done I'll post a link to it. But I just wanted to get something out there, as a lot of people were asking about it. Its by no means perfect, but we'll see if anything turns up.

As a matter of fact, a discussion like this has rekindled my interest in it. I'll perhaps take a look at my material again soon and see how it goes.

James Bond Soundtrack Collection / All 100% lossless!

For all those who loved bond,love bond and will love bond from now on! Many thanks KAFARAQGATRI,
you are Bond!! and thanks for all these amazing score releases over the last few years!
I will be having a Martini on you tonight, shaken not stirred of course!

Octopussy has never been high on my wish list for expanded Bond scores. It's a marvelous score, but I think the original album contained most of the best cues from the film. I'm not saying I don't like your expanded version, I quite appreciate it. This comment is directed more at some of the folks that have criticized your edit. I've heard it's next to impossible to rip anything from that film without having sound fx. Also, a lot of cues heard in the film are simply tracked. The Bond theme that plays when Bond is driving the car on the train tracks is the same cue that's played during the taxi chase earlier in the film. Also, 009 gets the knife is the same exact cue played when Bond and one of the knife brothers fall off of the train.

As for TSWLM, I don't understand the fuss. I enjoyed it. I know it was missing stuff, but then it's labeled as Expanded, not Complete. It's the best expanded version I've heard. YoYoBoy's version is indeed more complete, but many of the film rips sound like shit. I see no point in listening to the most complete possible version of a score if I'm just going to fast forward through a bunch of unlistenable tracks anyway.

Octopussy has never been high on my wish list for expanded Bond scores. It's a marvelous score, but I think the original album contained most of the best cues from the film.... Also, a lot of cues heard in the film are simply tracked.

I agree, the missing music isn't that extensive in comparison to other Bonds. I also agree that its a great score, but some of the best tracks are on the album.


I know it was missing stuff, but then it's labeled as Expanded, not Complete. It's the best expanded version I've heard.

Thanks, Lye. I think people sometimes think the two terms are interchangeable, probably due to soundtrack labels releasing expanded scores that are sometimes actually complete, so consumers get confused. But expanded does not mean complete, generally speaking.

I've also noticed that a lot of users on this forum confuse "Isolated" with "Complete" scores.

The isolated channel on a dvd/blu merely presents the score as heard in the film. Often the directer or composer choose to omit certain parts from the film. So it's not necessarily the complete score.

True, but one could argue its complete simply because its all the music from the film you saw and enjoyed. You don't know what you're missing otherwise, ya know?

True, and sometimes it's unnerving to hear an OST album and hear music that isn't in the film (i.e. Star wars deluxe soundtracks)

Yeah I generally dislike that. Instead of putting on unused stuff, stick some stuff on there that was used lol.

These all get regular play time from me - the john barry bond soundtracks are my very favourite of all albums, and your versions are the best of those. The others are fantastic too - and had been eagerly anticipating TSWLM.

Thanks so much KaFaraqGatri.

what a wonderful thread! thanks a lot kafaraqgatri!

Thanks for Spy! i'll look forward to hearing it tomorrow.

And thanks PeteCo for Casino Royale- that edition is a rare one :)

Thank you so much for all of them; I've been having a blast reading Ian Fleming's original books lately, and I've had these playing in the background often. :D

I've listened through TSWLM a few times and I have to agree with previous posters: You've done a really great job as usual, KaFaraq! :)
I recentley stumbled upon what is called "The Spy Loved Me Expanded" with "Good sound Not SFX" and "Tracks: 416 Total time: 73:59 mins.": CDRareScore :: INFO CD (http://leolor.cogia.net/?op=di&idcd=1375)
Does anyone now if this could be the original score or score tracks mixed with album cuts?? 416 tracks sounds way too many and I doubt it includes for example Bike Chase and Ski Chase, considering the obvious impossibility to rip clean FX-free tracks.

Oh, this looks interesting, I'd like to know more on this bootleg D:

Oh, this looks interesting, I'd like to know more on this bootleg D:

Me too, cause it seems just to good to be true. I'm tempted to buy it if I can afford it, but I want to make sure I'm not being ripped off :/

Me too, cause it seems just to good to be true. I'm tempted to buy it if I can afford it, but I want to make sure I'm not being ripped off :/

Oh, yes, you're right, I bet a lot of people felt ripped off after buying the expanded Dr. No 50th Anniversary bootleg, it just sucks... and something tells me this likely does the same D;

I returned mine, it was so disappointing. I had a feeling it would be but being a Bond fan I had to buy it to see for myself.

I see... :(

Yeah, the exp Dr. No sucked alright. What a piece of crap...Yeah :thumbsdown: I could be wrong about though, but 20.99 euro to find out is a big deal when you're between jobs. Ah well, let's hope some wise person could help us out :)

Do you mean Dr. No, KaFaraq?

Yeah, Dr No.

Ok. I'm sorry for you. So what are your thoughts on TSWLM expanded on sale? A big fraud/hoax or what?

Does anyone of you know who composed the music for the trailer of Skyfall? Is there any clean rip of it?

By the way, Sean Barry, who's that Asian chick :O?

By the way, Sean Barry, who's that Asian chick :O?

Who? Oh, that's Akiko, my girlie. Just kidding. I found her moving image in the smileys section. Found her making thumbs down appropriate for Dr. No :)

Akiko looks cute *7*

are going to do any music from bond games?

I've also noticed that a lot of users on this forum confuse "Isolated" with "Complete" scores.

I love reading those posts. Always brings a tear of joy to mine own eyes.

And then great sadness.

Ol'chap, you made the best "expanded" Bond score ever to grace on the internet! I salute you, Commander Kaf! If there ever was a chance that the "complete" scores would surface in the future, I have without a doubt that you would have a hand in it! I would just rank you to Admiral (to admire you from beyond) if that came to pass.

I will say about those isolated scores, they may have not been intented to be in the final stage, but they're good indication of "what if" scenarios could've been put into thought in the development process. Take the Tank chase in St. Petersburg scene, we would've never found out that their was another completely different score for it. Makes me wonder if that their was some sort of "altered mode" in the DVD/BD special section to see how it would came about, just for the curiousity! Seeing the the same scene with the completely redone John Altman/Nick Raine's playing it safe, "Trying my best to catch my female witness" score or Eric Serra's all out, original take of "Fuck it! I'm driving a bloody Tank and I'm not afraid how to use it to get my job done!"

All in all, as Alec Trevelyan would put it, "Well done, good job..."


P. S. I finally finish mashing a better OST and the film version together of Backseat Driver from TND, but ever since the revision of mediafire, I am unable to load it up without the hassle of signing up...

Here's one for Skyfall, just in case anyone would like to have matching covers for the entire series:



Full-Sized ()

Enjoy!

scorehunter67, you're the best, mate! ;)

I wish the future will bring a DVD or/and release of "The Spy Who Loved Me" with a quality sounding isolated score or separated music score, so we all finally get to here the movie version of Ski chase/Bond '77, The HMS Ranger hijacking and so on. Of course an official complete original soundtrack would be even better, but I'll doubt that will ever happen.

I know this seems a strange request..but ...does anyone have an AUDIO recording of 'Welcome to Japan Mr. Bond' which is an extra from the YOLT Ultimate Edition or Blu ray edition ?
Trying to put together a project of Bond music, and extras i.e. spoken word documentary's together. Kind of like Ultimate Editions DVDs except on CD's.

Well, if you have the DVD and a computer its a simple enough project to do on your own.

Here is something that might be a curious read.

It is an article from the FSM magazine with Lukas Kendall explaining all the process involved in the production of the expanded Bond series of CD's, from the early stages of restoration and mixing of the recordings, to other editorial choices like in why certain tracks were cut/edited and included on the CD and why others were left off, and etc.

Thank you very much :D

Sanico I have talked a few times with Lucas K about why they didn't remaster and expand all the scores, and apparently he said that the studios just didn't have the money.Or didn't wish to expand the whole series.Which is a real shame, considering now that some of the original scores have now been lost.
Lucas and his old company Film Score Monthly also produced brilliantly the original Man From U.N.C.L.E. cds sometime back.They were also co produced by Jon Burlingame, who has now written the James Bond 'bible on Bond music. Trust me what Jon doesn't know ..it isn't worth talking about.
A fascinating read for all lovers of Bond music.

thankyou

Well, KaFaraq . . . as a relative newbie to these pages, and seeing the effusive (and sometimes creative) manner in which others have already expressed their gratitude, I'm not quite sure how to convey the depth of my own appreciation without my voice getting lost in the general din. I think I'll stop short of the billboard-sized colored lettering for now, however, and just state plainly that, as a lifelong lover and collector of filmusic, I've never been satisfied with my Bond library . . . until now. You've completed my collection, and in a manner both stunning in scale and exquisite in the attention to detail. Clearly this was a labor of love for you. Now we're the beneficiaries, and I (honestly) can't thank you enough for your effort and your generosity.

Actually, though . . . I should say my collection's almost complete. The link for The Man With The Golden Gun isn't going through, and (naturally) that's the one I've had a tough time tracking down elsewhere. As much as I hate to ask for more—any ideas on this?

I have to say it continues to surprise me how much people seem genuinely enamored by these. It really was a labor of love, and whilst the results are mixed (and not complete in some cases), I am glad people love them as much as I do. I adore the Bond music.

As for TMWTGG, I'll reup that but please remind me if I forget.

By the way, Sanico, where I could find more FSM issues on pdf? =O

You need to be an online subscriber and you can download the entire back catalogue.

=O Nice~ Thanks for the info, I didn't know FSM had that feature.

Where's the Nightfire 007 Soundtrack???

About that, uh . . . y'know . . . that dude with 24-karat pistol 'n' all. . . . *nudge, nudge*

I've happened across the OST, but frankly, I'd much rather have your version. I've spent the last couple of weeks gleefully swimming in Bond music. So close to the complete set!

This is now reupped.

That's it. Last piece of the puzzle. Last notch in the belt. Last gem in the Grail. Last . . . well, Bond score I needed.

If I haven't said enough to express my lasting gratitude, let me do so here. You're the epitome of passionate labor and generosity combined in greatness. Thanks again.

On a side note . . . do you enjoy working with Packupload? I've appreciated its ease of use in downloading your scores. I'm looking—as a helpless, babbling neophyte to this whole file-sharing business—to start returning some favors around here by uploading some of my own jewels. I'm searching for a service that's simple to use and offers some small hope of longevity. I'm wondering if Packupload might be the way to go.

Thanks, UniMaster. Again, I am really humbled by how genuine everyone is about having access to these, and about their passion for Bond.

I like Packupload a lot. Its very quick to upload, the maximum file sizes are good, the website is simple to use, and the download speeds are quick. I am just a basic registered user (no payment, just signed up) and so far have had no issues.

May I just add my THANK YOU to the many others on this list? I must've bought the Bond scores ten times each in numerous formats over the years, but it's lovely to have them sorted out and added to - completed in this way. Thanks for all your efforts and for sharing - - more appreciated than I can say.

As for the new your comment above - are the old docs not on the new Blu-Ray collection (which I have just bought)? I assumed when the PR blurb said the extras included all the old stuff, it meant they'd be on there too. Better not get rid of my old DVDs, in that case.

I have to add a huge THANK YOU to this thread - simply amazing! Just started listening to OHMSS - one of my favorite themes (and there's no vocal!) - truly awesome work! If these ever become available in FLAC, please, please, please let me know. Thanks again! Cheers!

fellas, has a rip taken from a special DVD screening leaked already? Or from where this was taken James Bond Skyfall Gunbarrel - HD - YouTube (http://youtu.be/7iepdwzwX2U) ? Can someone edit on the end credits suite and clean the sfx :O?

If you can get me a lossless version I can try ;)

If you can get me a lossless version I can try ;)

:D Look forward to it!

Let me know what you find. Of course, that clip is incomplete and I'd need the audio from before and after.

Alright, as a matter of fact I just found this http://kat.ph/skyfall-2012-dvdscr-xvid-feel-free-t6942500.html , I yet have to download it, though, because I don't know if it's the real deal or it's another fake thingy :(

is anyone else bothered how they've stopped using the gunbarrels at the beginning of the films? i always loved that part, with the barry orchestra, especially in the moore era when he used a slightly more symphonic arrangement of the bond theme. it helped set the tone for the next 2 hours and you knew exactly what you were watching. the way they did it in casino royale was understandable, but removing it from the beginning of quantum really bugged me. if i didn't know better, i'd think i was watching any generic action thriller in those 1st couple minutes.

it'd be like removing the giant star wars logo and william's music from the beginning of episode 7

It bothers me too. I can understand it being at the end of QoS, as Bond has -- by that point -- become the Bond we know. I really thought it would be at the start of Skyfall but no. No idea why, other than that they wanted a "yeah!" moment with it being the 50th anniversary. I hope its back in its proper place in 2014.

Yes, you both are right, and I hope the gunbarrels returns at the beginning of the next film, by the way, what's the real chance for Skyfall to win the best score Academy award? And correct me if am I wrong, but this is the second time a Bond score is nominated, right? And also the second time a Bond title song is nominated as well, isn't it?

I don't think Newman will win. However, the Academy may feel they've shortchanged Bond in 50 years and may let Newman win for this reason alone.

Speaking of Skyfall - an expanded edition is on the way :) Do not expect much; expanded is perhaps too strong a term, but deluxe edition might be a better term!

*0* Waiting for it! Thank you very much KaF, by the way, what does your username mean D:?

Is this 'deluxe' version, one of yours KF? Or do you mean there is an expanded official release coming soon? Either is good.
Really all I need is a rip of the Gunbarrell/Bond Theme and the end credits music & possibly the music when the helicopter arrive at Silva's island. Is much else missing from the CD?

I had wondered that with the score being Oscar nominated, I wonder what the chances are of an FYC expanded/complete release?

I think Newman's actually in with a decent chance. There's some extremely strong competition - excepting maybe Hans Zimmer you have four other modern heavyweights and regular contributors to Hollywood soundtrack-making. But Newman, someone who traditionally does drama lends an element of what might be perceived as class by the Academy (they're such fuddy-duddies). The Skyfall score could be the dark horse. Either way, it's good that both the song and the score have at least been recognised by this venerable institution after the Bond series being mostly ignored for so many years.

Is this 'deluxe' version, one of yours KF? Or do you mean there is an expanded official release coming soon?

No, no official release. It wouldn't happen that quickly, and most likely never would :)

There is quite a bit of music missing from the album - some cues are truncated, but the essence of them is there. I guess album time was an issue, or perhaps Newman didn't like how they played away from the film. As for actual cues missing, there's maybe three or four missing entirely (but don't quote me on that, I don't know it as well as the other scores).

My version is 94 mins with no FX (of course). I'll be uploading it later, I am sure the talented folk here can make some artwork for it. However, I'll be revisiting this in future, so this isn't definitive. I'll post a better version later in the year, possibly in FLAC and MP3.

I had most of the extra stuff already, but wanted to thank you for the gunbarrel and end credits stuff. I'm also glad to see you combined "Tennyson" and "Enquiry" -- just as it should be! Thanks again!

Marvellous stuff. Thanks for your your generosity, KaFaraqGatri.

Fantastic as usual. Thanks ! :)

It's possible to have a complete version of the Skyfall score here in the forum? If yes, has an estimated date?

Thank you for the expanded edition of Skyfall

This is my first taste of the soundtrack as the official release is still sealed and i decided not to listern to the score until after i've seen the film

having now seen the film a few times, it is far easier to listern to the score as I caN picture what has happened in the film, where in the past, i've listerned to the scores before seeing the film and said "yuk"

Thanks for making the wait worth while

I love WLIIA!

Cool! Whenever I feel low I just find a funny WLIIA video to watch and I feel so much better! : )
Do you prefer the UK, or the US version? I watch em both, but mostly the US.

Oh yeah, and thanks again for sharing all these scores. I'm listening to your expanded Skyfall right now! : )

What else can be said about the great Kafa?! :-)

Many thanks for Skyfall, KaFaraqGatri!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS NEW HEAVENLY GIFT TO ALL BOND FANS!!!
WE ARE ALL ON CLOUD NINE NOW!!!

Thanks for SKYFALL deluxe edition. It present Bond's album as it should be, with title song and end credit. And for Golden Globe award winner song which I don't know it is first Bond song that win or not, and also for Newman's nominee score at, which if it win (at rarely chance) will not at all surprise for a long long history of Bond's music at Oscar should recognize.

Have been heard about expanded release of Dr.No. last year. Anyone know about this?

THANKS !

Very, very large class!

However, I miss in THE SPY THE LOVED ME the theme, as the Lotus is attacked by the motorcycle.

Thanks again KaFaraqGatri. The Skyfall Deluxe is excellent as with all of your contributions.

As always, KFG has hit the mark! Many thanks!!

Kafa, by the way, where did you get "Old Dog, New Tricks", cue that you entitled "Close Shave (Alternate)" in your awesome expanded releasse, encoded at 320 kbps? I thought that because it was a digital bonus release, it can only be found encoded at 256 kbps (VBR).

Thanks very much for the expanded Skyfall KaFa!

what's the real chance for Skyfall to win the best score Academy award? And correct me if am I wrong, but this is the second time a Bond score is nominated, right? And also the second time a Bond title song is nominated as well, isn't it?

marvin hamlisch's TSWLM score was the 1st oscar nod - lost to star wars, and rightfully so. no other score in '77 could hold a candle to it. not sure about 1st time a bond songwas nominated..i think it was the same film


I don't think Newman will win. However, the Academy may feel they've shortchanged Bond in 50 years and may let Newman win for this reason alone.

it would make sense that a bond film won a best score oscar, if anything. to me the music is what makes the films breathe. it's just a shame that they never saw fit to award barry for OHMSS or maybe AVTAK, but at least he was recognized for dances with wolves and some other great scores

i haven't had a chance to hear life of pi or argo yet, but among the three i've listened to, anna karenina sounded like a shoe-in. desplat seems to be an academy favorite in recent years, although because this may be one of williams' final scores, it wouldn't surprise me if he got the award. skyfall is a definite darkhorse

personally, i thought lincoln was an average williams score. it sounded similar to his other historical epic scores. i definitely hear some jfk and even a pinch of amistad in there. nothing new, nothing award-worthy.

Live and Let Die was the first Bond song to be Oscar nominated, back in 1973 (the year I was born)

And my thanks to KF for another 'deluxe edition'. It's funny, I look forward to his releases as much as look forward to the 'official' release, if not more.

Now we need to find an Oscar FYC edition of the score, in case there are any extras. Maybe someone will release the recording sessions at some point....

Haha, thanks man. There's been a lot of Newman FYCs in the past, so maybe one for Skyfall will come out. After playing the album so much, I realized when I finally saw the film that a bunch of the album tracks were edited down a lot.

Thanks for "Spy who loved me" expanded. dose anyone know if there is the original film version for the ski chase out not the "bond 77" ??

Sadly there's no way to get it, a lot of people, including KaFa have tried to rip it and work on it, but sadly it's a nightmare thanks to the sound effects... so let's wait that someday The Spy Who Loved Me receives an expanded official release.

As I think I said, I did a soundalike using the OST and some editing to recreate an approximation of the film version; its part of the new set I am working on. Not sure if its worth including or not, though.

It's not that great, Ray, but thank you! :) The album is a rerecording anyway, so despite being the same basic tune its different in orchestration. So I did the best with what I had.
I did, in fact, manage to get about 60% of the film version totally clean but it fell apart towards the end (after I spent many, many hours on it).

:'( And did you use the very little clean sections heard in the trailer of For Your Eyes Only? [Trailer] James Bond - For Your Eyes Only (1981) - YouTube (http://youtu.be/lXO8wWDf2EA) By the way, do you plan to release your edit of the "Ride To Atlantis (Film Version)" cue :O?

No, archival trailer audio usually has terrible fidelity.

For now, I am done with all the Bond's, aside from revisiting Skyfall. I don't want to make promises that I may not be able to uphold. TSWLM was very difficult, and whilst I am partway through the new edition, it's best not to think about it. One day I will do it, and if this site is still standing and I am still around, I will post it.

Alright :) Speaking of you revisiting Skyfall, are you planning to work on the main title version of Skyfall? =O And do you think Skyfall has what it takes to win the Academy Award?

Well, there is an Oscar promo for SkyFall (or is it just Skyfall?) out there:

Skyfall FYC Best Original Score by Thomas Newman 2 Disc Set | eBay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/SKYFALL-FYC-Best-Original-Score-by-Thomas-Newman-2-Disc-Set-/400390419213?pt=Music_CDs&hash=item5d3920f30d)

However a pity it does not include the gunbarrel music.

I would love to get this one day. Combined with a couple of bonus tracks, you'd have the complete soundtrack. Still, Ill work on my version 2 in the meantime!

I read at FSM that the FYC disc edits out all the music that includes the James Bond theme as well as the Skyfall song by Adele.

Yeah, I saw that. I suspected as much when I could not see the Gunbarrell music nor breadcrumbs listed (just called 'drive to Scotland' or something). I wondered if they would've had to pay royalties if they left the Bond music and the SkyFall quote in?

Theres another promo, a single CD, which includes it but misses Adrenaline and Old Dog, New Tricks.

The 2CD is also only 81 mins. Not much longer than the OST...

Very nice - thanks

By the way, I was wondering where was used the promotional music composed by Thomas Newman? I had never listened to it before...

I didn't think it was by Thomas Newman. It was used on an Ifly / Coca Cola promo website

Many thanks for the promotional/trailer music.

When I download it it's only 128kbps. Is that as "high quality" as it gets or is there a way to get a 320 version?

I have 24-bit WAV versions (which should be on the new edition when I complete it!).

Excellent! : )

Are these 24-bit WAVs?

All songs with 128 kbps (MP3).

Yes. That's right. It was used on an Ifly / Coca Cola promo website that said something about Skyfall. And the Newman similarities are used in music. So it can be himself.
