Title: British Secret Service Post by: elwoodblues1969 on May 05, 2009, 12:57:42 AM With this latest installment of the Bond series,I painstakingly strived to achieve the classic vintage sound,to be true to the Bond legacy-particularly to the original composer of this franchise.
So needless to say,there are absolutely no synthesizer sounds,as there are just the very best sampled instruments that my Korg keyboards had to offer...along with special attention paid to the effects implementation for these sounds,in an effort to make the most of the program patches. With the exception of the couple of snippets of the signature Bond theme jingles,this song for the most part,is an original work,& it was truly a labor of love and with that,I hope you all enjoy this one! :D -Thom Title: Re: British Secret Service Post by: kara on May 05, 2009, 07:36:13 AM To be honnest, this is propably the best you made in the Bond saga.
Those sounds are excelent and needless to say that I love that bass. It would be the perfect track for a new Bond movie 'How it all started' Great work Thom ! k Title: Re: British Secret Service Post by: elwoodblues1969 on May 05, 2009, 02:42:34 PM Kara,
Could not ask for more kind comments...your review was an extremely nice compliment-thanks! :-* -Thom Title: Re: British Secret Service Post by: folderol on May 05, 2009, 05:03:23 PM Another highly polished performance 8)
If these get much shinier I'll need the sunglasses O0 Title: Re: British Secret Service Post by: Moon on May 05, 2009, 05:39:15 PM Great sound !!! Even the bass is tremedous ;)
I like the applied effects, giving a real bnond sphere. Great work indeed ! Moon Title: Re: British Secret Service Post by: elwoodblues1969 on May 05, 2009, 07:22:39 PM Will,
Yep,a little extra elbow grease went into this one....so glad you enjoyed it. :D Thanks for the comments. 8) -Thom Title: Re: British Secret Service Post by: elwoodblues1969 on May 05, 2009, 07:23:42 PM Moon,
Appreciate the kind words-thanks. :- -Thom Title: Re: British Secret Service Post by: MarioD on May 06, 2009, 12:06:34 PM Thom, I agree with all that’s been said.
All of your “extra elbow grease” makes this sound as good as if not better than many of the multi-mega buck professional studio productions. You should be very proud of that. Of course you do realize that you have set a new higher standard for yourself, not to mention the rest of us.

Artful work, New Jersey! O0 Title: Re: British Secret Service Post by: elwoodblues1969 on May 06, 2009, 04:28:08 PM Mario,
Yeah,I could not be more pleased with the way this piece turned out & your extremely kind compliments added many layers of icing on the cake-thanks friend! :D -Thom Title: Re: British Secret Service Post by: elwoodblues1969 on May 06, 2009, 04:28:57 PM Thanks a mint,Oren! 8)
-Thom Title: Re: British Secret Service Post by: Laguna Rising on May 07, 2009, 05:57:15 PM Great production indeed, I'm not suprised the others regulars immediately noticed that
I like the ambience for the slow intro. effective melody. It puts you in the right mood to enjoy the following parts. Very smooth transition and changes of atmosphere and melodies. Every section is fine tuned and I mean as a composition and choice of sounds/mix Drums/bass sounds even better than usual. Cheers Title: Re: British Secret Service Post by: elwoodblues1969 on May 08, 2009, 01:11:54 AM Thanks for the very kind & comprehensive review L.R.-much appreciated! 8)
-Thom Title: Re: British Secret Service Post by: Martin E on May 10, 2009, 08:07:56 PM Hi Thom. Still feel a bit aggrieved about what happened last week and we didn't have a chance to meet in New York. But there you go it can't be helped.
This is a fine track with a very skillfull arrangement. I enjoyed. Title: Re: British Secret Service Post by: magmavander on May 10, 2009, 09:00:44 PM Hi Tom,
very convincing one, I think you made it timeless in a way. Very evocative, a sort of audio teaser ;) thanks! mag Title: Re: British Secret Service Post by: elwoodblues1969 on May 10, 2009, 11:24:34 PM Don't sweat it Marty,as I've always wanted to visit Amsterdam & now I have more of a reason to do so. ;) 8)
