Neil


Nice and concise read.

I do have one question but it's more related to David Arnold than 007:

Since you've been involved with his expanded albums, even if there's no concrete plans have his other scores (Young Americans, which he said a long while back he found the masters for in old storage he cleaned out) Last of The Dogmen, The Visitor, etc been discussed for release?

This is an interesting (and revealing) conversation Arnold did last year about his writing process, the help he and other composers have come to count on, and all the gear needed to make his early work, all thanks to this desktop computer he donated to a museum:

But you can read, can't you ?

As a matter of fact I can. I can write too, but I tend not to be rude to other people just because they might have made a mistake. Call it a flaw in a sea of Internet perfection.

I was super surprised to hear the alternate gun barrel. I think that might be my favorite addition to this new score. I'm glad they went with the version they did in the film but the alternate is quite nice to have--the little piano flourishes are classy stuff.

What alternate gun barrel? There are two versions of White Knight on the album, but the gun barrel cue seems identical to the other. Am I missing something?

I'm with you. I read it and still made the same mistake because of difference in track title from what I knew it as.

Both versions of White Knight do have separate gun barrel sequences to them on the album. It's amazing actually, to hear an alternate version to something that is so ingrained in my mind as being TND's perfect, one-and-only gun barrel.

Like others, I'm happy enough to have the film version of Backseat Driver thoguh - without the volume dip during the guitar riff of the Bond theme that the Isolated Score suffers from.

You'll have to excuse AdoKrycha007, he's not used to communicate with people and his vocabulary usually only exists of "No CD = No Sale" or "No More RC Shit composers".

So best to reply in a manner that his limited intelligence understands: No more shitposts by AdoKrycha007

You were pretty insulting as well, Adam.

You're right, the White Knight (original version) has a slightly different gun barrel music with the James Bond theme ending with an upward (forgive me I don't know music theory) last few notes before the gun barrel iris wipes outward.

There is also a subtle hint of (I think) a violin or some other string instrument buried deep in the opening chords. Of course after the gun barrel finishes we are presented with a totally different beginning of White Knight. Very nice and a welcome addition to this compilation.

Thank you LLL, and Neil. You have once again done immaculate work.

Does anybody know (Neil may be more qualified than any of us) whether Surrender ever had a proper ending written? Presumably if it were chosen as the title song, it wouldn't have been able to just fade out.

Not only is it a fade out, but it's looped a few times. If an ending was written, it wasn't on our tapes.

Neil, do you have any documentation above where k.d.lang recorded her vocal?

I seem to recall that some local Toronto paper at the time claimed that it was recorded at Metalworks studios in Mississauga, Ontario, just outside of Toronto? If so, it was within walking distance of my former home.

Really looking forward to hearing this album. I ordered it along with The Grinch and the two Conan releases. Intrada sent it on 21/12 and it arrived in London on 29/12 where the package sat.

Was very surprised to find this morning that the parcel is now in Canada having gone back over the Atlantic via Miami!! Can’t see me getting this anytime soon!

Just received TND this morning, along with Grinch and Mary, Queen of Scots.

As the villain in the film (played by Jonathan Pryce) liked to say: "Delicious!"

Thanks to all at La-La Land!

I don't, sorry. I only had DATs of mixes, which were done at AIR.

The second half of the score is terrific. Noticed bits of White Knight making a reappearance in the action cues.

I think my favourite cues are Vietnam and the music where Bond is searching for Wai-Lin in Bike Shop Fight.

According to page 215 of Jon Burlingame's terrific book, The Music of James Bond:

"Lang's vocal was originally recorded in Los Angeles, but for complex tax reasons involving the film, had to be re-recorded in Toronto"
