This is great! Many, many thanks!
Can't hardly wait for Goldfinger!

Two days ago I stumbled onto this site. Being a Bond-fan since the very beginning of the film series, I have collected the music on various medias through the years. I thought I had everything you was able to get hold of. Boy, was I wrong.

Takehiro, you are the grand master of Bond soundtracks. You've made an old man very happy.

Thanks fellas. Im now up and running in my new house but dont expect any uploads just yet. LOADS to sort out. Enjoy the music and keep in touch.

gorgeous mate! thanks!

Is it too early to ask for an expanded version of the Bond 23 score...?

Seriously, Takehiro, thanks for all your hard work. These are terrific!

Thanks fellas. Im now up and running in my new house but dont expect any uploads just yet. LOADS to sort out. Enjoy the music and keep in touch.

Welcome to your new home, hope all goes well, you obviously have a lot to do. Thanks for the uploads so far, I am eagerly awaiting the next disc.

Pete

Good to know this. Good luck with the sorting. I'm looking forward to coming uploads :)

Has anyone heard the tragic news? I am heartbroken. John Barry has died... :(

One of my earliest -- and fondest memories -- is of being a small child enraptured by a showing of Goldfinger on television. Ever since, I have been hooked on 007, and John Barry was (and always will be) a massive part of that.

Rest in peace, Mr. Barry, and thanks for all the entertainment.

Unavoidable but sad, the creator of the James Bond Sound is no more. We will miss him. I was eleven years old when Goldfinger played on the radio for the first time. That opened my mind for something quite unique. (And I don't mean Shirley Bassey.) And it's stayed open ever since. John Barry was a giant. A giant on who's shoulders many filmcomposers have been standing. Apart from his eleven Bond soundtracks, he composed several unforgettable scores. We all have our own favorites, so I won't name any of them here. We know which ones they are. I can see them all; Max Steiner, Franz Waxman, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Elmer Bernstein, Jerry Goldsmith, and now John Barry, sitting there in heaven, digging each others music. Have fun, guys. We down here will try to make the best of what you all left for us to enjoy, over and over again.

Well said...

the music that got me on the filmscore journey was Mr Barrys Bond music, he will be missed

Me too.

That sucks. I really liked his music (still like). I love Moonraker. I also really enjoyed a lesser known soundtrack of his, Disney's The Black Hole.
I just love the way he can carry a theme in such a slow tempo. It's riveting! It really adds depth to whatever's on screen. It gives a demanding presence to any character or space ship. It's like action music in slow motion, beautifully!

Totally, his slower action scoring is amazing. Everyone refers to him as being an introspective composer and I totally think that comes thru in his music. His music speaks to me because of that.

The Man with the Midas Touch

He really set the style and the glamour of the James Bond score, with the main theme from OHMSS, and several other tricky stunts in his music, he set a very HIGH bar for other composers to reach for, but never attain!

William

The man's gone but his music will live on. Thanks, John.

I can't believe John Barry is gone forever. I feel he never really got the credit he deserved. Especially concerning James Bond Theme. Monty Norman maybe did come up with the original idea, but I'm convinced it wouldn't have been such an enduring piece of music, without JB's ingenious arrangment. Well even though John Barry Prendergast has left planet earth, his spirit lives on through his immortal music. I don't care if it sounds bombastic. Rest in peace John Barry. Your music helped me see the beyondness of things.

Takehiro,

あなたの努力すべてをありがとう。 この美しい音楽のすべて掲示によって生命のための友人を作った。

No problem ;) It is my pleasure.

I can't believe John Barry is gone forever. I feel he never really got the credit he deserved. Especially concerning James Bond Theme.

He scored 11 out of 22 James Bond movies. I'd say he got all the credits he (rightfully) deserved and then some. Not only creating a music style for Bond but also to an whole worldwide generation of spy movies during the sixties and following decades. After Ian Fleming, and the actors that portrayed Bond on the screen, he and Albert Brocolli must have been the most recognized names that a person knows from the James Bond universe.

As for the James Bond theme, I think we all know who was the really responsible of it, despite of what the court has decided. For granted that Norman is the autor of the song that has one from the two main phrases of the James Bond theme, but the orchestrations are Barry through and through. If Barry wouldn't be involved, I doubt the theme would last to today and be so popular as it is.

TAKEHIRO hi first of all your scores you are doing to theses bond films is just fantastic!!! I had a small request is there anyway you can upload that 1 musical cue from a view to a kill soundtrack "DESTROYING THE CHOPPER" score cue at the very beginning of the film? or if you can PM me? thanks! hgohari73

Hgo. Take already uploaded A View to a Kill. From what I know what he's uploaded is all he has. He doesn't have complete scores to all the films. Just expanded scores. But man I want that sequence as well. To have the complete version of Snow Job would rock.

The great maestro John Barry has died and with that may be re-releases and new releases to the movies he worked on. So we can only hope for that.

Some of my scores here *are* complete, but only a select few. Just wanted to make that clear :)

You're probably busy, but as everyone else here wants to know: Around when can we expect Goldfinger or somthing else in your thread, Takehiro?
Thanks in advance!

Im hoping within the next few weeks. I'm hoping!

You mean 3 weeks at least?
Yoyo: I agree. The full Snow Job would be great. But that's wishful thinking...

Yea the full version of Fight At Stacey's House would be great too. There's DVD rips of it out there. (I did some myself) BUT the problem is when you rip it from the DVD and remove the vocals/sfx it takes away the electric guitar too. Which is half of the reason why that sequence rocked.

I dont wanna put a time on it, to avoid disappointing anyone, but you guys will be first to know, for sure! Just please bear with me. I wont let u down.

No pressure, Takehiro, patience is a virtue... Take all the time you need, the music will not run away... For example, waiting a couple of weeks longer for a complete score of a 1964 movie, means nothing... ;-)

Seems reasonable. Don't want to sound negative, but I'm just worried this place will be shut down before we get to download the rest. If it does happen, then what? :/

Understandable. Worst case scenario, takehiro at switched dot com
Hows that for a secret agent code :P

I'm concerned too. Thanks for the lifeline.

Be sure to pass it on in case any of ur friends miss it, 2

Is there a big risk of this place being shut down? I know there was a big flap with FSM recently - is that ongoing?

Not for the moment, but as times get tougher labels in general will look to ways of protecting their income (as they see it).

I believe the FSM board hatred is still raging

F*** 'em!

F*** 'em!

Do you know that Lukas Kendall (Director of FSM), was one of the main responsibles for the remastered and expanded Bond CD's to be a reality, as he was involved with the production of those CD's?

Maybe if he had released more complete scores this thread wouldn't have to exist.

Amen!

It wasn't up to him. As a matter of fact, Kendall was going to expand The Man with the Golden Gun, but ran out of time and money. The Spy Who Loved Me wasn't expanded because it would have been too expensive. In the case of Moonraker, Octopussy and A View to a Kill, they couldn't find the masters.

Its a widely held opinion that it wasnt about "lost masters" but laziness.

With Barry's death and MGM finally out of bankruptcy it is only a mtter of time before someone (Intrada?) (re)releases the complete expanded scores.

Im skeptical. Theyve been released once, I doubt it would happen again due to costs.

He did the best he could considering the conditions under which he worked. This article helps to explain some of it.

Dr. Shatterhand's The Question Room (http://www.shatterhand007.com/QuestionRoom/Kendall.html)

Its a widely held opinion that it wasnt about "lost masters" but laziness.

But shouldn't we blame the company for that, rather than Kendall? Admittedly they didn't have, nor will have much interest in releasing these scores.

True. I just blame "whoever is responsible" :)

With Barry's death and MGM finally out of bankruptcy it is only a mtter of time before someone (Intrada?) (re)releases the complete expanded scores.

2012 will mark the 50th anniversary of film Bond, as well. If there's a chance to get them, it's next year.

Way too little time for that to happen, I'm afraid.

Why the worry about the thread closing? It survives the Varese and FSM bans, it will continue to do so. Though, I am expecting a bit of fuss when that big Elfman set gets posted. All that is happening is that the selection and variety of labels is getting more restrictive.

Well, if they re-release a score, I think it will most likely be The Man with the Golden Gun. The following may be a flimsy theory, but here it goes: as we know, the gunbarrel music as heard in the expanded soundtrack of Diamonds Are Forever is missing the reverb present in the original mono track of the film; the same happens to be the case with the Ultimate Edition DVD. I'm not an expert, but I presume they used the soundtrack when creating the new 5.1 track for that edition. The soundtrack of TMWTGG doesn't include the gunbarrel, but it's easy to notice that once again, the gunbarrel in the audio track created for the Ultimate Edition is missing the reverb present in the mono track, a sign that a new stereo mix, created from the masters, may have been used. This mix may be lying in a vault somewhere, thus making a new release of the score a lot easier. There was a post in the FSM boards in which someone mentioned that, according to another post (which I couldn't find), the masters had indeed been used for TMWTGG. As I said, flimsy theory, but not out of the realm of possibility.

They wont spend a lot of money on one single Bond score. Theres no reason to release that one film from a marketing POV.

There's still plenty of time to work on these scores. Surprise releases happen all the time and there's 23 months until the 50th Anniversary ends. Though barring that, its great that we got Takehiro here.

Thanks! But I *am* sorry its taking so long to get the rest to you :(

We're just happy you're doing it, and it's well worth the wait! Damn, the internet is a fine thing.

If I could thumbs up that, I would.

Sorry for this off-topic question, but can someone please help me? I've been trying to download the limited edition score to Out Of Africa in Thread 85613. At filesonic.com "captcha" appears plus the letters FS. There's no field to write these in and when I click "submit" I keep getting "Wrong code. Try again". And so it goes on. I've tried downloading from hotfile and everywhere else (I think) but it seems I'm being blocked out or something. Help's appreciated since I'm being ignored in the above mentioned thread. I'm using Firefox. Thanks in advance/ Sean Barry

Honestly your best bet might be to just get a month account with FileSonic. Seeing as it's being used as the host for a lot of soundtracks now a days anyways. You'll get pretty good download speeds and unlimited downloads. There's also no waiting time either. You can have it set to direct download too. So once you click the link it just goes right to downloading rather than having to go through there home page. I had an account with filesonic, but it just recently expired.

All I can tell you is that I downloaded it with no problems at all. I use Explorer, so it might be worth your time to try that instead of Firefox. Beyond that, I've got no advice for you. Sorry!

Yes. For whatever reason. Firefox doesn't work with Filesonic. I don't know why, but from my experience this rings true. I get to the downloading part and the download always just glitches and downloads the link to filesonic rather than the file, but on Internet Explorer it works just fine.

lol i replied to the first thraed you brouth this up in. if firefox has add-ons like ad-blocker, ghostery, or anything else that blocks unwanted junk, it might be preventing you from seeing the input box. or it could be if you have any "download' tools or accelarators installed.
run firefox in safe-mode to disable all add-ons.
Window button + r (for the run command)
type in...

firefox -safe-mode
and it should be able to work.

lol i replied to the first thraed you brouth this up in. i

I don't remember bringing this up before? Maybe I did lol. What thread was it? and yea it doesn't really bug me. I just use internet explorer for FileSonic.

i meant sean barry.

YoYoBoy19: Can't afford any account anywhere, so free downloading it is.

Biff and Spark: No disrespect with your names. Just pissed off and fed up cause nothing seems to be working with downloading for me anymore. I don't know if this is the problem source but I switched to Firefox after some troubles with fake viruses. Then I installed Ad Block Plus. I tried donwloading from Explorer again but it's the same story over there. I tried the safemode bit but I didn't work and I didn't get a message "continue in safe mode". I even installed JK downloader but it didn't work either. Why have must everything end up on fileserve these days?! I can't take this anymore! :(

Do you have Spybot Search & Destroy installed? If not, download it, install it, update it, immunize it and then and run a scan. Then uninstall and reinstall Firefox and try again. I also recommend AVG Free 2011, the best anti virus and anti spyware tool. Forget any other AV programs, you should never have to pay for good AV.

I've had them before but they're not nearly as effective and fast as avast. Do you know any other way Takehiro?

OK everyone. Whilst you wait for my new posts, how does trying to take down this site sound?

John Barry (http://rarescores.info/index/John_Barry/Bond.htm)

Notice anything familiar here? :S

Takehiro,

Rarescores is an artwork only site. It's also useful for alerting collectors to the fact that these versions exist.

No they sell them. They sell them via a secondary site too, listed elsewhere in this thread.

My mistake.. I'd not realised that !.

They just dont advertise prices to avoid attracting attention

Hey, I just discovered this thread after scouring the net to find the best Bond scores.

Takehiro, you're the man! Thanks for all your hard work. Everyone appreciates it...I know I do!

Thanks!

Tak, That site lists GF-expanded-18 tracks. Will your upload have the same? If so, then what was their source I wonder since you did not release yours here yet.

Some of them arent mine, but most are. I also have some old expanded Bonds that I didnt post here, as they are not as good and dont have matching artwork. I wouldnt be surprised if they had those too.

Tak, That site lists GF-expanded-18 tracks. Will your upload have the same? If so, then what was their source I wonder since you did not release yours here yet.

Yea, but does it actually have extra music or did some one just cut up the tracks that were combined?

To all: Problem solved. I found out the "extras" on the limited ed of OOA, wasn't so hot after all, so I'll do without it. Thanks everyone for coping. Looking forward to Goldfinger :D

OMG! This is a goldmine of Bond film scores! Thanks, Takehiro, you are my HIRO! :)

I understand this must be testing your patience quite a bit. The best thing would be if someone could send a virus or something that ruined everything for all these parasites who try to profit from you. Know anyone with such skills Takehiro?
I hope your future posting of excellent music still stands? Regards SB

The best thing would be if someone could send a virus or something

What kind of an awful thing to say is that?

The best thing would be if someone could send a virus or something

What kind of an awful thing to say is that?

Not quite up there with scooping their eyeballs out with a spoon, or splitting their bones open with a wedge and sledge hammer, or maybe taking a belt sander to their knee caps, or even using a soldering iron to open up their sinuses. Indeed, it isn't as bad as nailing their feet to the floor, covering them in Ragu spaghetti sauce and unleashing the rabid weasels, marmots, wolverines, dingoes, and starving Ethiopian babies.

In keeping with the theme of this thread, perhaps they should be secured spread eagle on a platform, while a portly German explains to them that they are looking at an industrial laser which emits an extraordinary light, not to be found in nature. It can project a spot on the moon... or at closer range, cut through solid metal. And then.... then.... when they say "Do you expect me to talk?", the German can bark out a laugh and say "No, I expect you to die."

That might be more awful.

Maybe not.

That might be more awful.

Maybe not.

I like this guy.

Hey gang, in honor of this excellent thread (Thanks to much, Takehiro!!), I'd like to share some Cover Artwork I've made for these albums. No offense to Takehiro, since his cover art is also fantastic, but I am pretty obsessed with covers, so I am constantly making alternate art in Photoshop for fun.
Attached are links to covers for (the ones I've downloaded for myself so far):
- The Living Daylights - John Barry
- License to Kill - Michael Kamen
- Tomorrow Never Dies - David Arnold
- Die Another Day - David Arnold

These are all in 600x600 pixels, which is my favorite size for iTunes, not too big, not too small. Although if someone wants the original sizes, I could upload those as well (their size depends merely on whatever artwork I was able to find online). Anyways, enjoy!

Thank you so much for the hard work that you have done in putting these together, your efforts can not be underestimated. Its so good of you to share such a treasure trove of gold. Once again thank you so very much

These are NOT complete so you should put them down as expanded. Or else as they spread, people will think they are getting stuff they arent. Just a reminder!

Oh and its LICENCE spelt the English way, not License with an S :P

Which is the font you used for "Original Expanded Score Composed etc etc"?
This cover for TND u made is actually the official one for the Definitive Collection of Original Bond OST's if u don't know... it looks good, but Tak's TND cover looks fab. U could make TWINE and GE. =D
Nevertheless, good job.

Thanks for the comments, thoughts are always appreciated. The font I used is called "007 GoldenEye", just do a google search and you will find it for free. As to similarities to covers from past releases, it's certainly possible. Granted, I'm in no way trying to copy someone else's work, but I just deal with the artwork I can find, and sometimes a certain poster has already been used because it's the best, and I just add my own little twist to it, and try to find the best possible poster art i can find. In the case of TND and Living Daylights, I pretty much just used the standard poster and made some tweaks, with License to Kill, I actually combined two different posters for that movie, since I found it made a more colorful and dynamic image than either of them separately.
All that said, I'm in no way trying to negate other people's covers, simply offering some alternatives. As to your other requests, I will try to keep making more eventually, but can't guarantee they be up too soon--that said, definitely if and once I have some new ones, I'll post them here again!

No they sell them. They sell them via a secondary site too, listed elsewhere in this thread.

Can you tell everyone EXACTLY how to see this? It appears as if ALOT of our stuff is appearing over on his site. I have seen similar scores from our site!

William

brok2: They are ripping off Takehiro's uploads, remember? Don't you think THAT is a bit more awful?

Takehiro: I'm wondering the same thing as William and also wonder if you're continuing your uploads after this? I'm not trying to rush you or anything. Just wondering.

Hang on in there!
Sean

That's a relief. Haha, yes I do...somehow :D

Tak: any update on an ETA for GF?

brok2: They are ripping off Takehiro's uploads, remember? Don't you think THAT is a bit more awful?

More awful than corrupting their machine/network with a virus? No, no I do not.

Anyone got some LESS AWFUL ideas on stopping other people from taking credit for and making big bucks on our friend takehiros uploads, while waiting for Goldfinger? :)

I am sorry these are taking a while. Ive been getting a lot of other expanded scores in (non-Bond music) which is monopolizing my time a bit. I have NOT forgotten and will get back to you all soon, really.

Thanks for the update, Tak. Might I ask what these other scores are? Any John Barry scores among them?
Thanks, Joe

Ive been -- and am in the process of -- getting many expanded Zimmer scores (Broken Arrow, The Peacemaker, some others I wont name yet ;)) which is currently taking up my time. Some quality, never-before-released versions courtesy of me!

I do hope the Batman/Inception complete scores are on that Zimmer list, u've earned my trust over the quality of music. So i can wait for the Zimmer/remaining Bond scores.

Thanks for the update, Tak. Patience is virtue and all that, but more than a month seems an AWFUL lot of time for a Bond-scores to arrive. What's the longest time you've had to wait for these kind of scores (or maybe rare scores in general?) to arrive to you? Just to make sure there's hope, since I'm fearing the worst :(

As I said, you have my email address so dont fear. I can pick and choose, to some extent, when I get the Bonds in. Lately I have just had Zimmer stuff to do, thats all. They WILL come!

Sweet, I look forward to the Zimmer ones! XD

I just got the Broken Arrow recording sessions with more music than the La La Land release :)

Ah man you're killing me!

I was finally able to scrape up enough money to get the glorious 160gb iPod I'd been lusting over, and thus have now had a chance to listen to all of these. What can I say that hasn't already been said? Fantasticness! I must say my favorite parts of these have to be the instrumental versions of the title songs (though I was heartbroken to see that my favorite one, View to a Kill, did not have one). Also, where did those David Arnold pieces on OHMSS come from? Is this another album I have to track down?

I absolutely cannot wait for Goldfinger and You Only Live Twice! And now you're talking about expanded Zimmer stuff? Oh man. I have to ask, is there any chance of the Pirates of the Caribbean scores being included in that lot? If so you will rock my socks off even harder.

Thanks again!

Yes, POTC is gonna be in there :)

The OHMSS pieces were released back in 1997 or so. Check out his Shaked and Stirred album.

Also, where did those David Arnold pieces on OHMSS come from? Is this another album I have to track down?

Thanks again!

You must be referring to Arnold cover of On Her Majesty's Secret Service found on his album, 'Shaken and Stirred: The David Arnold James Bond Project'.

EDIT: Ooops, Takehiro already answered your question :)

BTW, that track has somewhere in the middle the space march, which is pretty cool!

What about batman related stuff?

There's already expanded scores -- legit and otherwise -- for the four "original" Batman movies available. However you may mean for Batman Begins and The Dark Knight?

There's already expanded scores -- legit and otherwise -- for the four "original" Batman movies available. However you may mean for Batman Begins and The Dark Knight?

Yes Tak. The Nolan Batman scores by Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard. Full, complete, SFX-free and legit.

Legit as in a leaked bootleg, not legit as in a company release right? :P

Either or, it doesnt matter lol

Well lets keep this thread OT for now. All I can say is, check the forum for my other, non-Bond postings, all of which will have their own individual thread for each score shared.

Well written Tak. I hope you're not too busy with the Zimmer stuff then :)

many many thanks! this is fantastic ... really appreciate your dedication and hard work.

Yeah, Thanks a bunch! How many Zimmer scores are left before you get to the Bonds, Tak?

Welcome. Theres more to come!

HI Takehiro,

First of all thanks a lot for your expanded Bond scores. I really appreciate your effort and your willingness to share them. I noticed though that in many of your expanded Bond OST's there are still many pieces missing which do appear in the movies. For instance, in A View to a Kill, Goldeneye, The World is not enough, For your Eyes only...my question is if you still have these missing cues somewhere or not. I guess everybody would be more than excited to hear the missing music on these great works.

THANKS!

Its been asked time and again - sadly, WYSIWYG. I did my best when sourcing these. There's a reason these are marked as "expanded" and not "complete".

Once again, thank you so much for all the effort you have put in to create these. They are a real listening pleasure. Your efforts are greatly appreciated

Dear Agent Takehiro,

please, please continue with the Bond series.
It's taking far too long for all of us.
Time to finish it up, don't you think?

Your contact in Vienna

SAUNDERS

best regards

I agree with this. Please, please continue now Takehiro. Life just isn't as fun without this music. I used to have something to look forward to, but honestly this is killing me. Can't you leave Zimmer for a while at least, please?
All the best and thanks in advance

What they said. Please!

People, if you have listened to me at all these past months you will know I cannot always just drop one thing and do another. I have to wait for them to come to me first before I rip and upload them.

I'll see about Goldfinger, OK? And then I will see about the other ones too.

Need to know. Im sure you understand.

Dalton - Best Bond ever :)

OK Tak, can u mark on page 1 what's complete and what isn't? For instance, is FRWL complete or expanded?
Anyway, waiting patiently for TSWLM...

No need - the thread is called Takehiro's EXPANDED James Bond Scores :)

Nice to be a part of this forum. I love the Bond soundtracks - thanks for sharing!

Thanks for all Takehiro !

About the Octopussy soundtrack, would anyone have the correct tracklist of the album version ? The 11 tracks are more or less in disorder, and I have not seen for a long time the movie to remember the right order.

Thanks !

Thank You for this. But it is a pity that Moonraker lacks the music from the beginning when the Moonraker Space Shuttle is hijacked. But nevertheless great work.

Anyone remember this version of the James Bond theme? I wonder why nobody even talks about this one...

This is from the Playstation version of the TWINE game...

Where can we download this version?

Oh, unfortunately we can't. It's just a list of the cues in film order, from a knowledgeable source.

I closely took a look at your corrected traclist, and if I suppress the unaivalable cues it seems that the order on the album is the same as the film order (only one exception: the prologue cue "Bond look-alike" which comes before the title song). This is quite strange I must say, because I don't understand why "That's my little octopussy" would come before "Bond meets Octopussy", and as far as I remember the Palace Fight take place long before the bomb chase.

"That's my little Octopussy" plays when Bond and Magda are in bed, long before "Bond meets Octopussy", which is heard when, well, Bond meets Octopussy. "The chase bomb theme" plays when Bond is in Germany, trying to get to the circus to defuse the bomb. After that scene, he returns to India, and "The palace fight" is heard, so there is no mistake.

Hi guys. Thought Id get back OT and do a poll. Of the remaining scores left, which one do you most want next?

From most to least:
The Spy who Loved Me
Goldfinger/Octopussy
You Only Live Twice/Dr. No

Ok, my memories of the movie have mixed the sequences. So the album, in spite of the lack of many cues, is in order. This is so rare in this collection it surprised me !

From most to least:
The Spy who Loved Me
Goldfinger/Octopussy
You Only Live Twice/Dr. No

I got to agree with this selection as well

Definitely Octopussy for me.

For me : First : Octopussy, Second : The Spy who Loved Me, Third : The others

1. Goldfinger
2. You Only Live Twice
3. Octopussy

Absolutely Octopussy. it has a wonderfull soundtrack, but the official soundtrack album is a joke it desserves better.

Octopussy, natch.

I guess I'm the odd man out: "Dr. No" for me.

The Spy Who Loved Me
Octopusy
Dr No
and the last one.

O_O
I thought there was only 4 OST's leftover O_O

TSWLM
OP
GF
YOLT
DR.NO

Looking forward to it!
Thanks Tak! :)

Dr. No would be something to behold. Since official sources claim that no actual score exist anymore, it would be really fantastic to get that one. If you fix that score, you'll be on the top of my list forever and ever.

Besides that one, I really don't care about the order of the rest. They come when they come. No big deal.

I guess I'm the odd man out: "Dr. No" for me.


No, you're not! I vote for "Dr. No" too. :)

Spy Who Loved Me
Goldfinger/Octopussy
Dr No/You Only Live Twice

The Spy Who Loved Me

Would have to choose:

1. Goldfinger
2. You Only Live Twice
3. Octopussy

Thank you

No
Finger
Twice
Spy
Pussy

or

Spy
No
Finger
Pussy
Twice

For fans who want to keep track of what Tak is doing for music, you can join his new group he created today!!
I suggested it to him as a means of keeping track of stuff he did or will do.
Like keeping a list of music he's released.
And a list of music he's going to release.
Maybe even discuss things.

Takehiro's Scores - Final Fantasy Shrine Forums (http://forums.ffshrine.org/groups/takehiro-s-scores/)

I thought it would be a better idea than creating a single thread like others here.
I dont think DL links are allowed in there, but I think he should be able to link to his pages/threads he's created throughout the forum.
It's just a simpler way of indexing created threads/pages without cluttering the DL/GD section.

Plus, it's more private.

Thanks very much, Sparktank. I appreciate the spreading of the word!

1) You Only Live Twice
2) Goldfinger

I cant tell if you are being rude or just kidding around. Uploading Bond scores is not my sole purpose in life, I really will get round to it but it just takes a bit of time. Ive been doing a lot of other uploads and will get to the Bonds when its possible.

Oh, he's definitely being rude -- he is just also trying to be cutesy with it so that he can feel as if he's the one being wronged if anybody bothers to call him on it. The old passive-aggressive schtick.

I'd imagine that most of us understand that you're going to get these scores to us when you have the time we do so. I can't speak for everyone, but I appreciate your efforts.

Well thank you, sincerely. I wont disappoint. In fact right now, Im looking into something for Octopussy... Right this minute!

Takehiro your efforts are amazing and greatly appreciated. However long it takes I know that the quality will be astounding so thankyou again for everything that you do

Couldn't agree more with the vote of thanks, mind! Takehiro, you never fail to deliver awesome sauce.

Takehiro, you never fail to deliver awesome sauce.

Haha, love it! But thank you. I am looking into focussing on Bond in the coming months. So there will be at the very, very least one of them out soon.

These look and sound fantastic Sir.
Been listening to Bond soundtracks for almost 45 years, and these are top of the line.
Can't wait to hear YOLT, GF, and especially any John Barry (genius) scores.
and my sincere condolences to all our Japanese brother and sisters.
Thank you once again for uploading these epic soundtracks.

Pass me my bib the drool is getting longer

looking forward to listening to these...

Guys guys guys! I have some news!

And?......

[He says salivating]

I'm working on mixing and mastering a new project, which I shall be sharing here in a few days -- IN FLAC :D

Its a little bit of fun, but it's also a (hopefully fitting) tribute to the late, great John Barry. Its not an expanded Bond film score, but it is James Bond music related. I'll tell you more about it later and will post a link to it on this thread's first page. I'm sure you guys are gonna love it!

Looking forward to this. And in FLAC no less.

Speaking of Goldfinger, I have both the 10 track original version, and the 15 track expanded, in case anyone wants them.

Show me these tracks:
Dr . No
Goldfinger
You Only Live Twice
The Spy Who Loved Me
Octopussy

Can't wait, Tak.

I'm mixing it now - its going pretty well! Cant wait to tell you all about it.

Dr . No
Octopussy
Goldfinger
The Spy Who Loved Me
You Only Live Twice

I just got a PM, asking for the 15 track Goldfinger, so I will be uploading that this week. Anyone else has a request, I can look thru my stuff and see if I have it, just let me know here, and I'll check.

Thanx

I think people should stick to PMs to avoid cluttering up the thread and going OT.

Are you saying that I should not post the link here, just put it over to PMs?

I think it makes sense as this is called Takehiro's James Bond Scores :)

Well, it is called Takehiro's EXPANDED James Bond scores, and since the Goldfinger score was Expanded, I wanted to put it here, however, I will bow to your wishes and throw it onto the main directory and create a new thread, and I will leave your thread alone. I promise you that I will not post here again, due to your obvious ego/big-head problem. And I'm not the only one who feels this way.

sincerely, Bob

No worries, I wasnt pissed or anything :) I just thought you would get more coverage posting it in a thread of its own and it also wouldnt get lost amongst my stuff here!

A tiny snippet of music from the dam scene, the first part of The GoldenEye Overture, the Manticore fight, the Tiger escape, some music from the finale, plus a couple of other short pieces. Not a lot though.

I'm sorry that I have to disagree with you here, I guess I'm only one who thinks atleast 2 of those missing pieces are a great deal to me...
Anyway, all I can say thanks for the great deal of hard work you put into this man. I'm currently going for Moonraker as this album got it's gunbarrel plagued with cut-ups!


Edit: Man, I finally read trough all pages of this thread, I sure missed alot. Yeah, I was living under a rock. Some fun stuff happen, satisfactions sad things and disturbing events. T.H. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, as fellow Bond, Barry, Norman and Fleming fan for such a brilliant work you're doing and would also say that it saddens me for the bloody events that you fellow comrads and especially you T.H. had to bloody go through!
I'm with you to the end...

for England, T.H!

I promise you that I will not post here again, due to your obvious ego/big-head problem. And I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Geez dude, chillout. Just create a new thread if you have your own stuff. Why would you want to clutter up and confuse Takehiro's scores with your versions? No need to go all scorched earth about it.

For the record Takehiro, I appreciate your work thus far and those to follow. Those of us who have ever unpacked from a move feel your pain also. Take all the time you need my friend.

Thanks man. I dunno what his problem was, lol. Totally blown out of proportion!

FOR ENGLAND, TripleMMM! :D

Thanks man. I dunno what his problem was, lol. Totally blown out of proportion!

I wonder who�s blown out of proportion here...

Ok moving on...

With the sad passing John Barry recently I wish that the next Bond movie soundtrack would be a tribute throwback to his style. David Arnold's work is great but I miss the feel of the Barry soundtracks. If Arnold would just plagiarize the heck out of his style for the next one with say, Allison Goldfrapp and maybe ties in some Cinematic Orchestra (think the album Motion). I just miss the old big band bond sound so much!

Anyone else agree or am I just stuck in the cold war?

I completely agree. I would love to see Barry's Bond score style return. Such as Moonraker or A View to a Kill styles. Sadly, this wont happen because everything right now is shit. Noise and cacophony wins over melody or talent these days. It would be great if big commercial productions have amazing and memorable music. And they do. In Japan, just not US.

wow Goldfrapp! I didn't see that one coming and now that i'm thinking about it I believe you are absolutely right. Excellent choice. I love her song 'Utopia'. She is certainly up to the task of doing a Bond song, and probably with much better results than of the latest songs.

I love David Arnold's music, but I'd also love to see what Michael Giacchino could do with a Bond score.

I wonder who�s blown out of proportion here...

I don't know who has been blown, but it sure is obvious who is BLOWING.

Yes, Sean. I just called you a c0cksucker. Have a nice day, please don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Which Score coming next? TSWLM?

I loved Giacchino's score for The Incredibles... can't say I didn't... but Hans Zimmer should do Bond 23 if Arnold doesn't come back... he's done everything but Bond...

I don't know who has been blown, but it sure is obvious who is BLOWING.

Boom Boom TSK - post/insult of the day

Hey Takehiro the artwork for these soundtracks are nearly as gratifying as the music itself. Any early hints what we might see for any upcoming works?

Thank you kindly. Do you mean scores in general or Bond ones? If its Bond, I can now say its likely Goldfinger will be bext up.

Takehiro, he's the man...the man with the Midas touch! :cool:

Hehe!

Hurry Tak. I'm running out of drool!

I loved Giacchino's score for The Incredibles...

Well yeah- If anyone wanted Michael Giacchino to do a bond score, they should look at The Incredibles because it essentially IS a bond score.

Considering how the earliest trailers for The Incredibles featured music from OHMSS it's not hard to see where the inspiration came from- Michael said so himselfthat the Bond scores were a heavy influence. Hell some of the Incredibles tracks are dead ringers for bond music. Marital Rescue sounds almost just like Dawn Raid on Fort Knox, for example, Missile Lock is Count Down, New and Improved is... whatever they called the goldfinger laser music with a dash of oriental bond music added, Kronos Unveiled (my favourite) is Capsule in Space, and as for lithe or death... Bond Back in Action Again, anyone?

Well ... according to a guy I knew who knew John Barry he was approached to write the score for The Incredibles and asked to do a sixties style Bond score but after attempting some bits and pieces he declined and told the guy I knew that he was having great difficulty going back to that style.

Giacchino's score was perfect! For once he didn't have that mournful tone of the early Medal Of Honor (1997-2000) games...
I don't mind if he does Bond 23, I'd love to see what this man can do with Bond.
But I want Hans Zimmer to do Bond 23 mainly because... well... he's done almost everything but Bond... he's gone from doing Rain Man to Inception and The Lion King to Madagascar... and right now, if you consider, (with John Williams probably retired... I think...) Hans is THE best composer in the world right now.

OK guys getting back to Bond... I need help over here... if anyone has downloaded Tak's Die Another Day score, can someone just upload an mp3 link to Gunbarrel/Surf's Up from his album? I don't want to download 175 MB just for 1 song... =(

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I absolutely love the DAD Gunbarrel music... my favourite from Arnold's works... =D

One more thing, if Tak included a link to Bond vs Oakenfold (The James Bond theme) in his soundtrack, can u upload that also? I can't find a HD version of that song and Tak has incredible quality when it comes down to stuff like this... sorry i didn't mention it the 1st time...

Goldfinger coming up next? Well then You Only Live Twice can wait...
