I get these in when I get them in, and I dont know whats on them until I have them in-hand. So I will have to wait and see!

Hello, Gang. I just wanted to say that I don't know who did the 62 track version of "Diamonds are forever", or if it's an actual release from somewhere, but it is GREAT! I figure that it is bootleg, because of the MGM logo music, and the fast cutoffs on the "film version" tracks. Either way, it is really fantastic!

Thanks a million, William

The one here is 44 tracks.

Hello, Gang. Back when "Diamonds are forever" came out to the theatres, Roland Shaw and his orchestra did a two LP version of James Bond hits, with a truely FANTASTIC redo of the Diamonds are forever theme, with original incidental music, provided by Roland Shaw. I have never seen this record in CD form, and have long since lost the original from my collection. If anyone knows of it, or could provide a link, I would be greatly appreciative.

Many Thanks, William

Hello,William
That version you mean is my one.It�s my own made version.


DUDE!!! You did one hell of a job on that one! I listen to it CONSTANTLY! That, and the "Die another day" 2 CD version (did you do that one also?) are two of the greatest Bond scores to hit the pubic in decades!

Thanks again, William

Perhaps your comments/questions about non-Takehiro releases should be posted here? Loads of people on there can help.

Thread 45183

I created this thread solely for discussion about my unique releases, other general releases are generally discussed in the other thread :)

talking of which, what's next????

Will the Dr No have the electronic beeping on the beginning.....I have a rip of this but really poor.

As Ive said before man, I dont know until I get it in-hand. I will post details about special releases (like Dr. No) as they come in. By "special", I mean releases of scores that will be vastly different from commercial releases.

Wow amazing stuff, please can u upload the Expanded Score from "Licence To Kill"? I found a Cover with 28 Tracks on the other Thread

http://www.casimages.com/img.php?i=1006120628191099726214014.jpg

Thank you for all the Scores

Theyre all coming. BTW I hear the forum rules are changing, so this thread may get deleted. If you wish to keep in touch with me when I post a new thread, just PM me.

I'll make sure I keep in touch. :)

Which programm do use? It's amazing i hear no dialoges in the Scene, absolutley fantastic.

Maybe you can rip the original Freefall (MR) and Fanfare (AVTAK)?

The quality of TND is unbelievable, big thank you

Can't wait to release TSWLM, the original Cd is so bad

Hey Takehiro! These collections are awesome man! Thanks for the great work! :D

By the way, though, how do we PM you in case the thread gets deleted?

I hope the thread stay, can't wait to hear the score from LTK and TSWLM

The thread can stay as long as you make a new thread for every score. Basically, I guess you could just make a new thread and link to this one so people can comment and the like. I still don't see the point of this but the rules are the rules.

I see. So instead of making my first post point to URLs I make links to another page.

Possibly, I'm not exactly sure if that would suffice with the new rules or not. Best to probably PM one of the mods for an exact answer, but it seems like that would be fine.

Hello,William
That version you mean is my one.It�s my own made version.


Skrenty, I was just asking if you DID the 2cd version of "Die another day", because it is really great also!

I have your 1 disc version, but the 2 cd set is also great! check it out!

William

OR, you can create a new thread over "there", and just post the link here as well! It's a real pain having to look in 20 different places for 1 freaking link! Whoever came up with this new "Better way" has really got a screw loose!

The 2 Disc "Die Another Day" is a bootleg that has been on the web for over five years. Some have claimed that Arnold himself leaked it after being upset with the original album presentation, but that is merely conjecture.

I'm defo staying in contact.....just can't get enough of these fab scores...

Hey Takehiro,

Just downloaded Moonraker. Great work at removing the SFX and talking.
I do edits myself and am wondering how you're going about your editing process.

I'm guessing like me you rip the audio from the DVD in 6 channel, then you take the best parts of the audio and do your editing with some filters (noise reduction, perhaps) and EQ.

Anyway, from an audio-editing hobbyist to another, just wondering what you do ;)

Thanks and looking forward to more expanded vintage Bond scores.

As Ive said before, I cant take credit for anything other than ripping and uploading these!

Which Bond Score will you upload next?

Hi every. A new upload is a-comin'!

Licence to Kill now added. Enjoy. Please note that due to MU maintenance, it may take a while to show.

Thanks Takehiro! =D

I'm so happy !! Thanks :) :)

Thanks for another cool Bond score, Takehiro!

-

IMO, Licence to Kill is highly underrated and one of the best Bond films. Its my favourite of the lot. Dalton was a superb Bond, and started all the dark stuff that Daniel Craig is now getting credit for. Dalton IS James Bond!

I also like Timothy Dalton as James Bond. Both of "his" films were really good. For me The Living Daylights is second after Goldfinger as far as both - cinematography and music are concerned. Licence to Kill is one of the most interesting and brutal films in the series. And Kamen is a great composer. Check out Lethal Weapon or Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

Craig? Craig is no match for Dalton ;)

you are the man thank you so much!for these wonderful scores keep up the good work we really do appreciate it

Wow, this is amazing, big thank you for Licence To Kill!!!

Finally - there we are.
Some 20 years later we've GOT it.
Kamen in his prime - a fantastic score that - because of one of the worst edited Bond albums ever - sadly got neglected for decades.
Reminds me of how, someday, everything comes full circle.

Kudos to Takehiro!

I am thrilled with this album. It is the best representation of the score I have seen (or rather heard!) to date. If only MCA weren't such c**ts and release the rights, we could get a legitimate release pressed!

I am currently working on the "Dr. No" score. I am making the opening titles, with the gunbarrel, James Bond theme (Revised), the Bongos, and the Three Blind mice theme, IN STEREO!
Did someone post an "extended" soundtrack for this movie?

William

If they did, it wont be here - this is for my releases only!!! Please post it in the other Bond thread :)

I shall, of course, be posting the EBR release of Dr. No, for my followers, in the dueness of course.

Thanks a lot for LTK!

thanks for LTK great stuff!!

Thanks and thanks for these gems!

Thanks for License to Kill , very neat Bond score.

Licence with a C ;)

And wahey, another Whovian! I love Doctor Who. Ive been a fan since the original series though, dunno about you. Pertwee was the best :D

Oh Yes , I love Doctor Who, been a fan since the T Baker days, my favorite is Peter Davison, and I love the new stuff, music too as well as the old.
I cannot wait for the Specials cd as well as Series 5 soundtrack.

Thanks for Licence to Kill.:)

Wonderful Uploads! Could you do "The Spy Who Loved Me" next?

As Ive said, it depends what order I get them in!

I don't know.....

I'm offline for a bit and then Licence to Kilt (as the song lyrics go) pops up!!!!

Cheers as always mate!

Another bond score from another Bond film featuring a brilliant actor who's bond films can be seen as the ground work for CR & QoS.

Yes, they tried to make bond more gritty in the late 80's and i think it worked.

Shame the idea was ahead of it's time with the idea.

THanks for the post.

Totally agree. Dalton was interviewed on TV as CR was coming out and he was so modest about his dark and gritty portrayal when asked about his time in the role and the similarities between himself and Craig.

Excellent posts. Thanks. Can anyone tell me what is the music in the Spy who Loved Me, when Bond meets Stromberg (the villain) in his aquarium office in the sea base? Its also repeated slightly when the car becomes a sea vessel and they (Bond a cute girl) head for the base. Any advice would be really appreciated! Thanks

You can find one of Timothy Dalton's finest (and funniest)
performances in Showtime's "POSSESSED", aired back in 2000:

YouTube - Possessed 6/11 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGUm1U9Kakg&feature=related)

He plays no one less than the "original Exorcist", as the film's based
on the "true" events the novel "The Exorcist" originally was based on.

Kinda cheesy in places, but the acting is nothing short of brilliant!

best regards,
Sador

Looking forward to the next Bond installment.

I wonder how many people there are who, like me, got the extended iTunes score of Casino Royale, went back to the movie, and were surprised that Bombers Away and African Rundown played as a single uninterrupted piece.

Great job with this all, although I am slightly saddened that the Quantum of Solace score doesn't have “Time to get out” in two parts, as it plays in the movie.

Its normal for a composer to do that, especially when the first part of a cue differs in terms of instrumentation and/or tempo to the second part. I just dont know why Bombers Away wasnt on the commercial album to begin with.

Considering the structure of the Casino Royale score album, I think it makes more sense aesthetically to start out with “African Rundown” proper and leave out “Bombers Away”, particularly considering that movie soundtracks are rarely complete on CD anyway.

If Chris Cornell hadnt been so up himself, the first track should have been the title song :P

Also, why no Tosca music? I've seen the aria and theatre shootout (which I assume is another number from the opera) on another QoS bootleg that appeared to be the same recordings used in the movie.

Because the Tosca music isnt anything to do with David Arnold; its source music.

But you've got the one Jaime Cuadra song, too.

Me? I just uploaded it.

Has anyone got the 37 track expanded version of For Your Eyes only by Bill Conti please?

Its a fake. Ignore that one :) The only extras are "film versions" and "alternates", none of which are actual film versions or alternates AFAIK. As Ive said on this thread, at the very start, the ones Im ripping and upping here are the best in terms of content you can find anywhere.

I haven't heard from here in a while...just checking in haha :)

Wow! I've gotten most of these now and they are truly great!
Thanks for your effort - And thanks for sharing.

thanx for the post, keep em comming

Thanks everyone. Sorry things have been slow - Ive had other non-Bond rarities coming in these past months. I should really start a new thread for those exclusives...

That's all right, takehiro.
What kind of other rarities do you have?

Lots, really. Got a few exclusives I havent seen anywhere else.

Takehiro, you have made this Bond fan really, really, REALLY happy!! :cool:

Thank you :)

Fans, I might be upping a new one in the coming weeks. Keep looking!

very thanks

Hi there, when will there be another megaupload? it has been since 08/22/10 when Licence To Kill was added.

Best regards,
Saint07

Thanks for License to Kill. I've always wanted to hear an expanded version of that score :)

Thanks so much for these, Takehiro! They're really amazing. I especially love having LTK. It's such a great score that so much was left off of on the album! I, too, loved the Dalton era and saw what he did a precursor to what Daniel Craig does. Too bad he didn't get the same wide acclaim.

Thanks again!!!

Most welcome! I shall be upping more Bond soon, but lifes been busy of late!

Papa, if you are going to post Bond stuff, you will need to start a new thread. This is for my uploads only.

ohh ok sorry & thanks for your reply

Thats OK. No offense intended. You can comment here about the current postings and discuss Bond in general but if you want to start posting links of your own, you need to start your own thread :)

Quick update, fellas. It looks like FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE is next up.

Yes!

Wow, it's fantastic. thanks.
One question: In Moonraker, where is the music composed by John Barry that show at the begining of the film when the Moonraker is stoled?

Any ETA?

A week or two perhaps?

Hi Takeshiro and thanks for the expanded Bond soundtracks!

Read about your work on Dr. No in your blogg and it sounds like a great idea to me. Any chance of you uploading it soon?

Best regards and keep up the good work! :D
Sean B

What blogs that? I dont have a blog!

This one: Sequencing James Bond 007: 007 Special Edition CDs (http://sequencingjamesbond007.blogspot.com/search/label/007%20Special%20Edition%20CDs)

Okay. I'm sorry. I thought you were the same person as the one behind the blog, only under a different name/alias :/

sounds like a plan mate, cant wait

papa: Who were you replying to? Me or Takeshiro?

Okay. I'm sorry. I thought you were the same person as the one behind the blog, only under a different name/alias :/

Definitely not lol. For one his FRWL CD states " Between tracks 18 & 19 there is suppose to be another track “Assassinating Krilenko” which is currently unavailable." The CD I'm getting will feature this cue in full! Amateurs ;)

sorry sean i was replying to the great god of bond music, takeshiro

Alright! But again: How's progress with the Dr. No?

---------- Post added at 09:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 PM ----------

No idea - I dont have it in yet!

Okay!

Quick update, fellas. It looks like FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE is next up.

You are such a tease.....and I LOVE it!! :p

Hi Takehiro, when will you add the rest of the megauploads of the expanded James Bond score's?

Regards,

Saint07

Takehiro is still alive and the Lektor is not yet in our possession. I've negotiated with the Russians for its return; we've agreed on a price. And S.P.E.C.T.R.E. ALWAYS delivers what it promises. Our entire organization survives upon the keeping of those promises...

Its coming fellas! Just please bear with me, I wont let you down.

Can't wait. I have the best available soundtracks (to purchase that is) and these are always a nice treat. FRWL is one I've been hoping would pop up here, and I'm glad it is. Any wait is worth it, as its John Barry's first Bond score to one of the best films.

Wow, it's fantastic. thanks.

When will u get TWINE's complete OST uploaded? That's like the best Arnold score after Casino Royale!
PS. I personally didn't like the QoS Soundtrack but great job with getting rid of the gunshot in the Bond theme, that's the only reason i got it from you.

As I've said before, I only upload these as I get them in. I never said I was making them myself, I am just ripping and upping them. They come in when they do, and when they do, I up them here for you guys to enjoy. All I ask is that you please be patient, and I will keep you updated as they progress.

See what you mean, Takeshiro. There are after all many things to keep one busy these days, whether it's work or/and studies. Sometimes easy to forget when you're eager for something.
One thing at a time is my motto :)
Good luck with life!

/Sean B

Takehiro,

Thank you so much for putting these out for us. I have been a huge bond fan for years and an even bigger fan of the soundtracks and these are truly fantastic examples. Please know that we patient few are very appreciative to you for sharing them as you can.

yeah mate, i'll second what coneyisland75 said & thank you for all your hard work bringing these expanded score's to us bond music fans out there, you are appreciated takehiro, thanks mate, cant wait for thunderball mate

Thanks everyone, sincerely. Its always humbling to have such support. I am working on getting these up for you all very soon.

Just to let you know guys, I got From Russia with Love in-hand now. Its now uploaded, so enjoy... old man ;)

Thanks for Russia with Love, one question (and Im not complaining) but where is the music that plays during the Helicopter/Boat attack toward the end of the movie. :) Thats some of my favorite in the movie.
If this has been addressed already I apologize.


and thanks so much for these your on top for doing it :)

The helicopter/boat attack music was tracked from Dr No. It was written by Monty Norman.

What I figured Thanks. I guess we wait for Dr. No.

FANTASTIC as always, one of my fav Bond Films....thank you so much for this

Thank you so much Takehiro!! You are awesome! =D

Another master work by John Barry! Many thanks, Takehiro!

VERY VERY VERY VERY THANKS

thanks for posting another great score,is it just me but it is telling me it is temp unavailable

THanks for the latest bond score.

I think most of Barry's Connery Bond Scores are excellent.

Looking forward to the next one.

Well worth the wait! Thanks

Thanks for the thanks, guys. I think next up is (and someone will be pleased, Im sorry I forget who)... The World is Not Enough!

Another fine release, thank you. in TWINE a great piece of music was used when Bond and Elektra ski to the pipeline. It was omitted from the official album but David Arnold put it up on his website. The other missing cues will be great. Fortunately TWINE was one of the better represented albums on the MCA label. Looking forward to FRWL and TWINE. After that I think you only have about 7 more Bond albums to go. The will be some of the most interesting releases too because Dr. No, TSWLM and Octopussy were terribly represented on CD.

how are you guys getting frwl everytime i click the link i get The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable.

how are you guys getting frwl everytime i click the link i get The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable.

NOt sure what you are doing wrong as I got it on my first attempt today.

Keep trying you will get it in time.

Octopussy isnt as bad as everyone thinks. I am most looking forward to that one though :)

You once again are spoiling us Sir!!! From Russia With Love was awesome!!

Just gotta love the 007 Theme ...My fave John Barry theme!!! I Loved it's reappearance in Moonraker aswell!

I'm one of the many who has been awaiting TWINE! Now I really am getting excited!!!!

Thanks again dude!

Hey Takehiro, hold on for a sec, hear me out, If the utlimate edition of TND had an "isolated music track" on the DVD that allows u to watch the movie with only music and no dialogues and effects, how come no one has ripped TWINE yet?
TND is a great score, thanks for uploading it. Cheers =D

TWINE didnt have a music track. Some people have tried to rip music from it, but its been SFX-laden and cross faded with music from TND to make it clean.

Great of you to supply us with these treasures, I love From Russia with Love well really all of them. I do really like the Dr No alternate james bond theme used in a few places and in the boat/helicopter scene in FRWL. Too bad it was not included with this, but it will be with Dr No Im sure , thanks!!

I for one am looking forward to Thunderball. The person doing it says its one of the hardest things he has ever had to do - organizing it into film order and sorting through all the alternate cues is a huge task. But its going to be great when its done, I am sure.

Takehiro: Do you have any idea as to what may be on Goldfinger (my favorite) that has not already been on disc? There is some but not much unreleased music. Thanks again for FRWL.

Thanks for FRWL and the other scores, Takehiro! Much appreciated and grateful to have them! Looking forward for the rest! Best regards, OOSteven!

Yea Thunderball surprised me I got the updated one that came out awhile back and thought WOW this may now be one of my favorite ones with the added music. Shows how sorely the score was treated on LP.
Actually Im looking forward too Spy Who Loved Me , and the Pyramid music without that horrible Eastern Lights music in the middle of it , who the Hell's idea was that to put it in the middle of some of the best music on that disc.

Takehiro: Do you have any idea as to what may be on Goldfinger (my favorite) that has not already been on disc? There is some but not much unreleased music. Thanks again for FRWL.

I know one piece for sure that will be on there is the cue played on the plane as Bond is being spied on in the bathroom. Im sure there will be others too.

its kinda funny all these little 5 , 10 second or so pieces of music is what you end up liking the most on these scores.

Agreed! For me, its often the gunbarrels.

Thanks for FRWL, Takehiro!

TWINE will be worth it, I've listened to what's on the CD and I love it, but they left out really good songs from there... If people thought "Another Way To Die" was a bad theme song, wait till they listen to "Only Myself To Blame"... so slow... i fell off to sleep halfway thru the song... =(

By the way, I don't mean to be rude in any way but most people said the GoldenEye and Die Another Day scores sucked. Is it worth the download? it's half a gig of download we're talking here!

I would say they are worth a download for sure. GoldenEye's been downloaded more than any other, to be truthful and its one of the coolest scores. DAD has some nice moments too.

Thank you again Takehiro for FRWL. It is excellent as usual. I also am looking forward to Octopussy. It's one of my favorite scores and I always thought it's been very underrated.

I always loved the Goldeneye score , dont know why most folks diss it.

Argh the frustration! Even this, the most complete From Russia With Love score I've ever seen, does not have the track I want the most- the one between the end of the train sequence and the start of the truck scene. Oh well. Great quality throughout the tracks that are in there.

Takehiro- I should probably mention that there's an easily findable track that is missing from your OHMSS score that you might want to add to it. I normally wouldn't have mentioned it, but the score you posted actually contains two shortened versions of it: track 13 and 14 on Disk two are a radio edit and orchapella version of a much longer (and I must say INCREDIBLE) track. The full, finished piece can be found on the Propellerheads album 'Decksandrumsandrockandroll' and is imaginatively titled 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service.' It goes for a blissful 9:23, as opposed to the 3:26 and 5:37 of tracks 13 and 14 respectively.

And be warned, it is insanely addictive, in much the same way as Grantby's 'Timber' is an incredibly addictive rework of Diamonds Are Forever's '007 and Counting'.

Thanks Brok. I am aware of the 9min track but it was omitted by the compiler because they felt the radio edit was good enough for a non-film piece. I have the single myself :)

I got some news regarding TWINE for anyone interested, too... ;)

Well Ive been given a sneak look at (or listen to) some of the tracks and I can confirm the gunbarrel is on there, along with the unreleased clean mix of the title song.

As keen ears will have noticed, From Russia with Love's main title is different on film than on CD. The film version has never had a release. As with TWINE, the main title song is a completely different mix (more orchestra and different editing and mixing). This unreleased track (like FRWL) is gonna be on the expanded album I will be upping.

Oh and plus, it looks like its gonna be a 2CD job :D

thats great news takehiro,i cant wait for TWINE...you tease..;)

A 2Cd TWINE ost?!?!?!?!
Count me IN!!!!

man this is the one ive been waiting for TWINE i just know its gonna be awesome i really am counting down takehiro for this lil gem thanks alot man for all your hard work

You're all welcome. I hope you enjoy the disc when it comes in.

TWINE is going to be one of the top 3 best Bond scores u've uploaded... can't wait!

Wow these are really nice I have noticed though on a couple of the longer scores if you try and burn them onto a CDR they run to around 78 79mins they wont fit on a standard 80min CDR anyone have the same problem?

Simple - in Nero just change the gaps between tracks to 0 seconds. In the case of LTK, just burn an overburn CD on the slowest speed and you will be fine.

NCFirebolt, whats the other 2? :P

Yeah, that works too.
Generally for burning music to CD-R, you'll want Lossless versions with .cue files to help sort out the gaps more efficiently.
Having the Lossless version will give you real CD quality. MP3 versions are best for mp3 players. Or if you want to back them up to disc, back them in their native format on CD/DVD.
That way in the future, if you want to rip them again, you won't lose more quality. And if you want to rip them to lossless after, you won't be making a fake-lossless like some of the other scores out there (stares at the complete Bourne Ultimatum).

I don't know if .cue files will work for mp3, they might/should.
But generally, if you have the .cue file created from the same rip, you'll have an easier time burning to CD.

Ive got lossless versions, its what I rip these from. I will upload them once I get on a faster line speed.

Awesome! My mp3 player enjoys these!
Keep up the good work!

Thanks man. I should have TWINE up in a day or two. Eeek!

For me unfortunately, I haven't watched the old Bond movies in a while... they usually have at least 1 Bond movie a week on TV... last week was DAD, this week is The Living Daylights... and I might actually get to hear a John Barry score... should be worth it.
For now, my top 3 scores (in no particular order are TND, TWINE & CR) are all Arnold's. But that's all about to change.
But I can tell u the worst Bond score I've ever downloaded is Quantum of Solace and the only song is enjoyed was Crawl, End Crawl... even Time To Get Out wasn't as exciting as the African Rundown from CR... =(

I disagree. I think Quantum of Solace is a fine score and a worthy follow up to Casino Royale.

Arnold's done some decent stuff, but nothing and no one does it better -- and never will do it better -- than John Barry. My first love of film music came from this talented and wonderous man. I owe him so much.

John Barry is Bond! and the roots of my love of film scores came from James Bond as well ;) it all began with "Goldfinger" I was 8.

Sean Connery and John Barry , like the song says "cant touch this"

Something we have in common, moon - John Barry got us into scores and we are both Whovians :)

By the way, Takehiro, can u post all the official (from The Defenitive Soundtrack Collection) and fan-made (the ones from ur rar's) ALBUM ART in super high quality on the forum?

I want to add your soundtracks to the MusicBrainz database, but I have to specify a label (as in record label). I notice you have catalog numbers (EBR 002, for example), but no label! What should I enter in the "Label" fields?

Man, I do loves me some Bond music, and these are pretty much fantastic! This version of From Russia With Love, my favorite of the John Barry scores, was excellent. And this version of License to Kill was absolutely outstanding. I forgot just how good the score to that film was, though coming from Michael Kamen that's no surprise.

It's unfortunate to see, though, that Goldeneye still appears to be missing a bit. Particularly saddening is the fact that my favorite piece that was omitted from the commercial release is still absent here: the brief interlude of the Bond Theme when he first arrives in St. Petersburg and is walking out of the airport. It can't be more than ten seconds long, but they're ten of the best seconds of the entire score in my opinion. However what was added is great, and the sound quality, particularly for the title song, is stunning. It would have been cool if the demo version that Bono recorded singing it himself was included as well, but I already have that so it's no big deal. Though I do greatly, greatly appreciate that both versions of the tank chase were included. I bought the Bond Back in Action Volume 2 album years ago because it had the film version on there, but now for some reason that song, just that song, which was the only thing I bought the cd for, refuses to import into my computer correctly. So big thanks for that.

Up next on my to-listen list is Tomorrow Never Dies, which is my favorite of all the Bond scores. I'm eager to see if this version will be worth replacing what I already have.

Thanks for all of this! And add me to the list of those very eagerly awaiting The World is Not Enough. I'm also greatly looking forward to my second favorite of the Barry scores, You Only Live Twice. And that album of rejected music is particularly intriguing as well.

Yes, the rejected album will be coming along as well. Very nice!

Rejected album? Is this for TWINE, another Bond film or a compilation. Sorry, I thought I was up to date on this thread.

Really liked listening to the missing cues your friend fixed. BIG thanks to him and you for upping.
Only one thing puzzles me: Why wasn't the movie version of 'Stalking' included as well as the alternative version previously available?

Sean, the movie version is the same, the one before on previous bootlegs was a fake.
Ray, a while back I mentioned I was getting a CD of "Bond rarities" with rejected songs, demo tracks and more.

Ahhh, cool.

Brok2: Keep your eyes on this thread for a soon-to-be release of that OHMSS track ;)

You could be right about the bootlegs, but listen to this clip from 1:03-2:58 and you'll see what I mean. It's only about 8 seconds that differ between the movie version and the relesed soundtrack version, but still a clear difference: YouTube - Opening Sequence 3 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tG1GcSnalAw)

YouTube - 007 A View to a Kill - Expanded Score - John Barry (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcIfNRsYVN4&feature=related)

Where is this from?

This is from an older CD I sourced back in 2006. I cant believe how MY stuff gets about!!! Anyway the gunbarrel is an incomplete mix of the gunbarrel ripped from DVD (its missing instrumentation, unlike the one on my CD). The horse chase music is also incomplete, I think ripped from a Dolby Surround home video mix. The fanfare is the re-recording from Bond Back in Action 2 (its on the clip). Then theres stuff from the OST, followed by the Cleaning Up cue from my EBR CD posted here.

Now I just have to specify a start date and country it's based in.

Date this thread started, I guess? And for country, wherever you're from, right?

Lol u have such good memory with all your stuff! And I'm going to be the 1st one to download TWINE!! If i'm not sleeping just after u upload it... =D

PHOTON: September 2009, UK.

Wow, amazing! But OHMSS is in my opinion the best ost, it's fabulous. Thank you takehiro.

Hi guys. Got some news, TWINE finally came in. Its 2CDs, 30 tracks and around 97 mins long. Gonna be upping soon.

Hi guys. Got some news, TWINE finally came in. Its 2CDs, 30 tracks and around 97 mins long. Gonna be upping soon.

AAHHHH!!! I'm going mad waiting for TWINE!! Anyway, I'm going to watch [I]License To Kill [I] today... almost everyone on this thread said Michael Kamen did a great score, but I'm going to watch it just to be sure before I start the download.

Anyway, Takehiro, wich brings me to my question, look at this clip... it's the DVD menu of TWINE...

YouTube - James Bond Ultimate Edition DVD Menus - The World is Not Enough (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VH_e09Z4yc0)

Where's the part between 0:04 and 0:07 inthe OST?

And last, the DAD menu... which James Bond theme is this?

YouTube - James Bond Ultimate Edition - Die Another Day {Menu} (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqYxawtNWoo)

TWINE is the boat chase music. Not sure about DAD but all the DVD menus use tracks from the commercial OSTs, so nothing new there.
Oh and the LTK score is amazing, I would kill for a proper commercial expansion. Some really great, brooding music (which Kamen does so well) for this darker Bond movie. I love the "I'd Need a Cannon" cue, as well as "Dario's Death" and Finale. Not to mention the epic "Sentinel" cue!

The World is Not Enough is now live. I welcome your comments on it. Enjoy, ppl.

Great, can't wait to check it out.
Thanks!

Thank you, Takehiro for the upload.

I'm really looking forward to listen to the complete TWINE-score. I love David Arnold's 007-work and although it will never be a match to any of John Barry's 007-work, I'm glad that he is doing the job nowadays. I believe Arnold's work on TND is still his best, with TWINE as a runner up. Arnold uses the James Bond theme in the scores in the same way as Barry did and I think that is the key of succes in the Bond scores. Never change a winning formula. Afterwards it was very difficult to match the excellent TND-score and therefore TWINE was an very good continuation. I was very dissapointed in DAD, because it wasn't an improvement or even a match of TWINE and I had a bad feeling on what he will do on CR. Maybe Arnold felt this also and the way he has done CR and QOS, both very good and fresh, you can feel he has still some span in exploring the 007-music. Hopefully his work on Bond 23 will be again a new, fresh direction.
Thanks again, Takehiro for the nice job and maybe we have to change your name into Takehero of the Bond scores... ;-)

TWINE is superb...however the entire Swiss Bank opening music is missing. That�s a piece of music everyone has been hunting for years. Let me supply you with a overall clean version, then the score should be fairly complete.

Escape from Swiss Bank (http://www.4shared.com/audio/3DYkHrus/TWINE_Score_-_Escape_from_swis.html)

Thank you but without even playing this, my guess its a rear channel DVD rip with the SFX edited out and crossfaded. Thats what every version is that I have heard.

I like some of DA's stuff, but to me I want a return to the classic, more romantic sound. I think its time they got someone new.

Also, DA is a bit of a bighead from what I know. That doesnt sit well with me, too much ego is a baaaaaad thing...

I was curious and just listened to TWINE. Not very good music (the 2nd half is notably uninteresting). The mastering with the powerful resounding sound and highs makes that after the 20 minutes I spent browsing into the tracks I need only one thing: rest ! ;)

I love only gold.

Thanks for this , I have that particular cue so I stuck it on the end and labeled it a bonus cue.

Arial - good points. It is mastered too loud and its quite a noisy score. For me, the quieter cues are the main highlights.

actually I quite like the score myself but thats just me.

Takehiro thanks for TWINE , however the additional tracks seem to be the trailermusic and 2 versions of the song , a city of prague prchestra re - recording end credits from the DVD what are the extra tracks ?

thanks

Tsk tsk... did you listen to the score yet?! I guess you arent too familiar with it :P Heres a rundown of extras, none of which have been released commercially:

- Clean gunbarrel
- Film version of the title song (different instrumentation and mixing)
- M's Confession (film version)
- Snow Business
- Khazakstan
- Remember Pleasure (full version with extended ending and extended middle section)
- End Title music (not ripped from DVD, I have the CDs and its lossless quality)

I think thats all! Quite a bit!

I have really been waiting for this Arnold score! Thank you for sharing this and all that you have uploaded so far. I am amazed by these sets!

Many thanks for another great upload, Takehiro!

Thanks Takehiro for another awesome release! =D

Again

The Gods rain gift from above, many thanks....I guess it will be the return to the Connery stuff...

Yeah, I know you have great taste. I'm still enjoying from time to time a nice work of yours you posted in Flac... During the clone wars.

I completely disagree with everyone on this thread who says David Arnold can't live up to the score of John Barry... seriously guys, DA has reinvented Bond! It's the 21st Century people, u can't expect Barry to rise from the dead and do it? (I dunno if he's still alive... ) And DA's fusion of orchestra and electronica makes it all the more fun to listen to! TND's score was great and TWINE's is better! Although, he could have cut out on using the James Bond theme a lot, but nevertheless, enjoy it, TWINE's score is DA's best score. =D

Yes, maybe I agree with a new name... John Powell or Michael Giacchino should deserve a chance...

Hehe loved the Gods raining gifts from above comment. Thank you so much :D

John Barry is alive and well - its his birthday today and Im gonna celebrate it by playing his music ALL DAY :D But naturally, its fair to say DA isnt gonna live up to an older, more experienced composer - not at this time in his life, anyway. Maybe DA will end up being the next John Barry but its doubtful. Besides, one JB is all we need in the world, right? Thats what makes him special.

I dont hate DA, I just dont think hes as good.

OK, i downloaded 140 MB just to have my favourite 1:00 of the score (the Bilbao Bank Escape!!) not on the CD. Now i have a grumpy face. =( When will update the missing cues?

At present, that cue isnt available anywhere. The only versions I have seen/heard are DVD rips with the sound effects edited out, as I have said. Sometimes they are even left in!

I say be thankful for what you get - I am doing my best to scour the earth and provide you with the most complete versions of these I find.

And this goes for everyone - if you want to know if a certain cue is on, ask here or PM me before you download. I'll help where I can.

TWINE has some fine tracks and it's great to see this score get a decent release.

I always thought that the Soundtrack is ment to enhance the film and anyone listerning to the music and have seen the film will remember which bit goes where and maybe bring a smile.

This is what soundtracks do for me. Make me smile as i remember and this score is one of them.

Thank you.

Im so glad someone else is like me :)

The World is Not Enough is now live. I welcome your comments on it. Enjoy, ppl.

Big thanks :) :)

Another reason I love JB - someone (I think Richard Attenborough) said JB is such a quiet man that his music has this wonderful sense of introversion that comes through in his compositions. For me, they hit the nail on the head with that statement. Even in his most intense action themes, it doesnt feel overblown or egotistical or superficial. DA, however, is a bit of a bighead (from what I gather, and he thinks hes funny when he isnt) and I think when you're like that, you kind of hit the audience over the head with noise and multilayered pieces to compensate for your lack of style or skill. Perhaps skill is the wrong word, as I do like some of DA's stuff. But no one beats JB and no one ever will.

There is a copy of the bilbao escape music on youtube (unless it has been yanked off). it has very minor sfx, and i do mean minor, otherwise it's clean. I slotted it into my expanded listing and it sounds fine.

Yeah, there is. But EBR pride themselves on only including music if its FX free - and not MP3 sourced!

just stopped in to say thank you Takehiro for yet another fine music score you really are the best man.......thank you

Thanks. Our man is working on Octopussy and Living Daylights right now, so I will post them once he gives me the OK!

I agree with that except I find Casino Royale and Tomorrow Never Dies to be the pinnacle of his music thus far. He really nailed the Bond sound and is the only other composer in the entire series to even come close to Barry. Hamlisch and Kamen weren't too memorable, imo. I personally like Arnold more than Barry but I'm a sucker for how David can write a visceral sound with the brass, vigorous string runs and driving percussion. African Rundown is a great example ;). John Barry top that!

John Barry: 007, Girl Trouble, Spectre Island, Golden Girl, Goldfinger, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, OHMSS, We Have All The Time In The World, Diamonds Are Forever, Moonraker, The Sniper Was A Woman...last but not least: HIS arrangment of the JAMES BOND THEME.

What would the "Bond sound" and all later composers of the Bond universe as a whole, be without all this music?

I agree... Never put DA above JB, there wouldn't be a Bond sound without him...

Two favourites! Looking forward to that...thanks for FRWL by the way, Takeshiro! Realized how I missed cues like The Zagreb Express and She Should Have Kept Her Mouth Shut. Really intense stuff! :D

Im so glad someone else is like me :)

I'm so glad most of us are different ! :catman:

OK, now the official theme of Blood Stone, which released yesterday, at full 320 kbps... oh the things i do for the love of Bond... and spread the word people, this is my edit rip, it's first on MediaFire (i've actually checked)... anyone after the time of this post has taken it from me. Cheers =D

Can you help me, Takeshiro, please?

It happens! As you see, it fixes itself eventually :)

Point taken! I'm not saying that John Barry isn't good. I just think that Arnold took what John did and took it further. I found the older scores to lack the big and lush orchestral sound of Arnold (look at his orchestral arrangement of OHMSS Orchapella Ver.), but really the credit should go to Nicolas Dodd, Arnold's orchestrator. I guess I'm more into the contemporary style of DA. Barry did set the precedent and I will definitely agree with that DA wouldn't be where he is without JB.

Takehiro, even the Submarine Escape and Doctor's order cues are missing... u are missing quite a bit from TWINE... so, the score is far from being complete. U've got about 5 tracks missing. That's all i know and i'm counting on u for the remaining stuff. Now anticipating the Living Daylights OST.

Hey, no one said it was complete, my friend. I'll see if he has the missing cues and let you know.

I hate to ask this, but I can't figure out another way to ask... what software does ur guy use to get out all the effects? There's a TV show I like, there's no official score for it & I want to make a fan-made score for it... so could u please message me about it after u accept the invite?

Ok he has some other cues but the sound quality is too poor to be of any real use. The doctor love scene is lacking quite a bit of high end. It would stand out against the rest of the score.

---------- Post added at 12:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 AM ----------

Everyone, I have removed TWINE for now. I do believe NCFirebolt has a point about missing cues. Im going to see if I can get some of missing cues reinstated with the best sound quality. I will re-up soon and post the new version. Keep your eyes peeled.

I did say a few songs were missing, my suggestion is to keep the original OST rar file, and upload the missing cues in another RAR... that way, whoever's actually downloaded TWINE from you won't have to do it again.
PS. The Gunbarrel of TWINE has a very odd volume change and crackle... if u know what i mean, if u listen closely, it's like the Gunbarrel from TND has been mixed over it...

There'd be no point adding a new RAR to the site. The id3 tags/track numbers are going to be out if sync then and some cues might be reordered/ changed with any new cues that get added. The artwork will also need changing. I'll let you know how EBR does with it.

Just listened to AVTAK, Takeshiro. It's great to here so many missing cues, but I expected the movie version of snow job instead of only short bits in the Suite, the music where Bond is reaching for Stacey as Zorin grabs here and the cue where Bond and Stacey are in the flames to name a few. I really hate to complain, as I know you're doing what you can, but I just think it's a shame these cues still are unavailable :(
Well maybe some day...Good luck!

One takes what one gets. I too miss the other cues but EBR is doing their best.

Would u be interested in a custom remake of the TWINE James Bond Theme? Guys, give me ur thoughts.

EBR's new TWINE should have it on when its done too. But this will do for now for the really desperate!

Funny...I got so bored with Casino Royale (2006) I had to leave the theater during the Texas Hold 'em-scene, to pea. Never had the same problem with the 1967 film or score though :D

yeah your right sean about casino royale ( 2006) such a boring slow bond bond movie, hopfully the next remake of this bond movie will have a plot mate

No guys, u'll are wrong, worst official Bond movie was OHMSS... Lazenby really screwed up on it... he couldn't even climb up the machine's cogs without any difficulty... and he didn't drive the car during the chase thru the snow and the racetrack, his girlfriend did. Which was pathetic.

My favorites.

Bond Movie: From Russia With Love
Bond Actor: Sean Connery
Bond Composer: John Barry
Bond Score: You Only Live Twice

OHMSS is a hugely underrated film. Lazenby was great!

OHMSS is a hugely underrated film. Lazenby was great!

OHMSS is my all time fav Bond, and the OSt is heaven..JB finest hour...I agree Lazenby is underrated (imagine what he would be like if he stayed on)

Lazenby's agent was a fool (he told the producers that Bond wouldnt last into the 70s and basically told them Lazenby would only do the one film). He deserved a better crack at the whip.

OHMSS is a hugely underrated film. Lazenby was great!

Our first difference my friend , I didnt like him, but the movie and music is great. He just wasnt Bond too me altho his look was more the Bond in the books , IMHO :)

Now taking Connery out of the running to be fair, I really liked Timothy Dalton, OK let me duck now.

Lazenby's agent was a fool (he told the producers that Bond wouldnt last into the 70s and basically told them Lazenby would only do the one film). He deserved a better crack at the whip.

Imagine what the film would of been like if Connery stayed......we will never know

OK. i take back my previous post, maybe i was lil too harsh on Lazenby. New contenders for worst Bond movie ever are between, DAD, OHMSS & QoS. Casino Royale 2006 was really good, how could people not like it? Bond 23 is coming out in November 2012... they better have a good plot and director... Marc Forester wasn't that great doing QoS's direction. Craig's talent is seriously being wasted...

too right Takehiro mate , Lazenby was an underrated bond & didnt get the chance to really play bond, like all new bonds their first bond movie is always the worst except live & let die which was moores only good bond movie, anybody would have had a job trying to play Bond after the great sean connery, ooh & the media ripping Lazenby to bits

I disagree Moore only had one good movie. I think Spy Who Loved Me, Octopussy and For Your Eyes Only are great.
