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! Cheesy

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 !

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.

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

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.

Hi Tom,

very convincing one, I think you made it timeless in a way.
Very evocative, a sort of audio teaser  Wink

thanks!
