So, here's an idea for a kind of slow burn mini-comp with 8 months to work on it...
I've always wondered what it would be like to write a Bond theme. Last Bond movie "Spectre", Radiohead wrote their own version of the theme that wasn't used, but many said was actually better than the official theme:

).)
Anyone fancy writing their own version of that Bond theme, as if you were writing to that brief? I thought it could be fun seeing what a few of us come up with. Could be a big Bassey belter ("Goldfinger" et al) or a Matt Monro croon ("From Russia...") or a Madonna piece of technobabble ("Die Another Day") or a pop-tastic piece of spy-synth a la Aha / Duran... the tropes are there to be played with.
It shouldn't get in the way of the Christmas/New Year comp though, so maybe it's not a full comp... just post your theme here any time between now and when the movie comes out, and we could take a poll on it then.
Any 00s up for the mission?
