If anyone is interested, I have official 007 sountrack albums and other 007 inspired albums pictured here... http://members.nbci.com/fginc/soundtrack/soundtrack.html

My favorite Bond related tune is the Perez Prado version of the 007 theme... it's on "Music to read James Bond By (vol. 2). Al Ciola's "From Russia With Love" guitar instrumental is also an inspiring track from that record.

I listen to all kinds of music, but if I just want to put on the radio and listen to some tunes, it's Beat106 (www.beat106.com) over the internet. Yeah, ok, convicted geek I know. It blows the minds of the secretaries at work though, listening to scottish radio while I work.

By the way, just as an aside... has anyone noticed that films these days always have two soundtracks? There's the music that's actually used in the film (sometimes called the incidental music) and then there's the pop/rock soundtrack. The pop/rock soundtrack is a collection of songs that are supposed to have something to do with the style or plot of the movie, but are really just components in the hype/merchandising campaign. The songs sometimes make it into the film, but usually only briefly and often not at all... for instance, a song on the pop/rock soundtrack might be playing on a radio in the background of some scene in the movie... I guess this is sort of like when brand names advertise by having their product or logo appear in the background.

Anyway, I wonder what was the first film to adopt this dual soundtrack approach? When was this approach adopted... in the 80s?

I'm not necessarily against this, but the sad thing about this approach is that people end up ignoring the incidental music in films. Take for instance the recent Batman films... horrible movies, but they have really great symphonic scores. You'd never know it, though, because the film studios only hype the lame songs on the pop/rock soundtracks.

Occasionally, i throw in a bit of Fatboy Slim and Apollo 440 for good measure

BUT we were going to put that music at the forefront. It wouldn't be cut, it wouldn't dim and the movie would be built around that.

In fact we knew our theme for the movie and we would listen to songs and build the scene from what the song told us. We had some kick ass Ideas, Now only if we would put it down on paper.

If anyones wondering it was a movie about Nam and bank robbing LOL, somehow we were going to tie those together. 2 parts.

Now don't laugh but download "The Cartoon Network The Real Adventures of Johnny Quest"s Theme song. I know, I know thats a kids program but the theme song is REALLY cool for flying SDOE. Its like motivational like Eye of the Tiger. Make sure its the modern one with the drums if you are gonna download it.

Yeah, some interesting choices on that soundtrack.

By the way, Heat, which was a great movie, was directed by the same guy who made Miami Vice... Michael Mann. Miami Vice looks hopelessly tacky now, but if you can get past that, it does have it's moments... it's interesting to watch the way music was used in that show... almost like in a music video... which makes sense since music videos were all the rage in the 80s.

But for the most part-- I must say I enjoy a little rock--- weird thing is that most of the bands I enjoy are Canadian LOL I started on Rush and the Tragically Hip....and have moved on to the Bare Naked Ladies-- guess I can relate to them being 30, a little overweight and a really bad dancer LOL They put on a hell of a show though-- reminds me a lot of my college band-- only we weren't that successful

I also like the Tragically Hip, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Limp Bizkit, Garbage, Foo fighters, Hendrix, Blink 182, and most of the stuff they play on CJAY 92 (except for that darned 80s rock! YUCK! :P)

The latest music put out by all these bloody awfull girl/boy bands doesn't even come close to the greatness of half the stuff from the eighties!

Sure, Soggie Cookie are pretty good,same as lots of other 'new' stuff, but just 'cause some 80's stuff sucked big-time, you can't go past the likes of Dire Straits (who's lead singer/song writer/guitarist, Mark Knopfler puts just about EVERY guitarist EVER to shame!), Metallica and Pink Floyd?

Wait a second, your favorite bands are punk and hip hop influenced and yet you dis the 80s? That doesn't make sense. Here's why...

Yes, mainstream music sucked in the 80s, but there was a lot of great stuff happening in the underground. Most of those bands you mentioned would not be around or would not be well known if it weren't for the groundbreaking underground punk, electronic, new wave, and hip hop artists that toiled in obscurity during the 80s. In fact, most of what you heard and enjoyed in the 90s was born in the 80s and of the 80s.
