    If we can't have Newman back for the film after SPECTRE, I'd quite like Alexandre Desplat to have a go.

    From what I'm hearing from undisclosed quarters that shall remain nameless, Mr Newman's upped his game and gone big and brassy, @PeterGreenhill. I'm willing to bet my house SP blows SF out of the water.

    I really liked the score for SF. If this is true then I can't wait to hear it.

    I sincerely hope you're right. We need that sound of sweeping magic.

    Which is what I suspected and have been saying here for some time. People have unfairly had a go at Newman in my view, without realizing that his orchestral budget was cut off for SF....so he had to do what he could with what he had at his disposal. That is not the case with SP (where everything is bigger and far more expensive due to the riches from SF). So Newman will definitely bring his 'A' game and we are in for a treat. I am really looking forward to this....

    I apologize if this has already been brought up, but scrolling through the last several pages I haven't seen any mention of it - but does anyone know when the track listing for the soundtrack is supposed to be revealed? Or when we can reasonably expect to hear excerpts? I'm itching for this score now!!

    I don't know. And to be honest.....I am quite impatient now. I really need to HAVE this score!!

    I have really grown to love his SF score. Looking forward to what he's done with SPECTRE.

    Samples probably a bit sooner. Remember these?

    Something I made using the "Old Dogs, New Tricks" cue from Thomas Newman's Skyfall soundtrack.

    Not sure. It doesn't have the Sam Smith song, but it does have an instrumental version of it. This could be a good sign that it is interwoven (the melody) into the score. All the best scores in the series have this in common.

    Been waiting impatiently like everyone else to hear some of Thomas Newman's new material and not even so much as a film clip or track listing yet. Therefore I've taken matters into my own hand and written some inferior demo material to keep us all going until the real thing hits!

    Next week we'll probably get the first sneek peaks of the score.

    I'd say sooner, within the next 4 or so days. By this time, for Skyfall, we already had the sample previews for each track. Also we should be getting the track listings even sooner.

    Let's hope for sooner rather than later!

    I'm hoping so. As well as the opening instrumentation I can even imagine the " How do I live? How do I breathe?" part of TWOTW being re-worked into an action theme.

    Perhaps the song will be better thought of too if it's ingrained in the soundtrack.

    Is it? I thought it's only the instrumental version of it. But I do know that Thomas Newman's long-time friend and collaborator J.A.C. Redford worked closely together with Sam Smith and Jimmy Napes. And the fact that the score so specifically mentions an instrumental version of it could indicate that we do find a lot of instrumental parts of the song throughout the film

    The song is available for 99p on Amazon. I'd rather have more of Newman's score.

    As long as it doesn't contain both the vocal and instrumental versions!

    The marketing for this seems as confused as the announcement of the release date. If I didn't know better I'd say there there is either a conflict of interest or a total lack of communication going on behind the scenes! ;)
