NancyJohnson Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I'll profess that making music has been a struggle at times, but over the last few months our erstwhile guitarist/producer Pete has been finishing off stuff I recorded back in February/March and doing cut and paste arrangements pending a return to getting us back in for vocals, so all good. I haven't really played a bass for more than a few minutes a time in over four months. That said, the cupboard is now effectively bare so me and Pete were looking for inspiration and we've hit on subject matter that we feel really has legs. We've decided to do a James Bond themed soundtrack album, drawing inspriation from post-Fleming Bond books - Kingsley Amis (Colonel Sun), John Gardner (who also penned License To Kill and Goldeneye) and Raymond Benson (who wrote the Tomorrow Never Dies and The World Is Not Enough novelisations). I got a rough of Colonel Sun a few days back and it's goosepimples-on-the-forearms brilliant...all those Bond hooks seem to be there, the old orchestral 'ba-baa ba-baa' stabs, the twangy guitar hooks. I'm very excited. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Sounds fun. I’m a sucker for a Bond theme. I look forward to hearing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, and given the last few actual Bond themes I suspect I will far prefer the above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyJohnson Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 I think the roots for this malarky came from a conversration many moons ago, when we discovered that there was actaully a song submission process carried out by labels and you were either lucky enough to have your song accepted or not. I used to be a biggish fan of band from Bristol called Straw; they submitted the song below, only to be usurped by Garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
