    Okay, this isn't unreleased Bond music, but what the hell. Today I give you my cover of the Bond theme I had mentioned a couple of months ago. The James Bond Theme ("Quartz" Cover) is inspired by the Watch Theme of the GoldenEye 007 video game (that is, the music that plays when you pause the game).

    I love the hints of the theme song; it's what I had hoped the score to the film would be like.

    Cool. It was fun to add those touches. I also used a bit of Shanghai Drive from Skyfall.

    Edit: And I finally got to use that cimbalom I had. Love the timbre.

    Today's track is another virtual instruments reconstruction: Yearning for James, from The Living Daylights. Music heard at the end of the film, when Kara misses seeing Bond at her concert (that could've been another title for the track - Kara Misses Bond).

    The second track is my own creation. I thought the theme was too good to be so short.

    About a month ago, the YouTube user who originally uploaded the videos of the Sound of 007 concert, uploaded a new, edited video of the concert. The OHMSS theme, which originally had its beginning missing, now includes it, but the transition between the beginning and the rest of the track is very awkward. I wanted to fix that, so I did. You can download the fixed track below:

    On Her Majesty's Secret Service (The Sound of 007 version) (fixed intro):

    I think this could very well be my favorite arrangement of OHMSS. Obviously inspired by the 1972 Barry arrangement to some extent, but with stronger, more driving percussion and a faster beat. Pity that it's not available in higher quality.


    There's a Bond trailer in which the narrator says "more excitement, more thrills, more spills!"

    Tomorrow you're getting the background music to that, if you know what I mean.

    These are all great :)
    I wonder if it's related to his Shaken & Stirred arrangement. He used his version of YOLT from that for the concert.

    That one seems different to me.

    I'm not a big fan of that arrangement. I find it grating.

    In terms of the singers I would say Natacha Atlas was the one I enjoyed the most. Then Björk, then Celeste. Not crazy about any of these performances.

    If you have some basic audio editing skills, you can also combine instrument tracks and hear how they sound together. For example, I put this together in a couple of minutes.

    Hell, you could even create remixes.

    Also, this track means a lot to me. Back in 2010 or 2011, someone over at the CommanderBond.net forums did his version of it with virtual instruments. That's how I got more interested in these unreleased tracks and remaking them.

    Edit: Almost forgot. I didn't know about this until the other day, but the Tritsch-Tratsch-Polka recording heard in the film is by Herbert von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic. From 1976. You can hear it here:

    Thanks so much for both of these. Your work with the Bond music has been awesome. Do you have any plans to do any more tracks?

    You're welcome, and thanks for the compliment.

    I have no plans to do further Bond music at the moment, but the door is always open.

    It’s gone very quiet on here... No new music? 🤞🏻
