Goldeneye gun barrell sequence

in James Bond Music
The Bond theme during this scene has been criticized, as well as Eric Serra, but I find the synthesized theme pretty refreshing. I can't find the full version of this song on the Goldeneye soundtrack or any for that matter. Was it ever released?

    I don't know, but I do agree with you. I liked Eric Serra's score to GoldenEye. A nice change.

    As do I! Very new, experimental and is scattered with all sorts of great parts. However, I am glad they rescored "Pleasant Drive in St. Petersburg". The score shines for me, and the electronica gunbarrel is amazing!

    The full version, no. Some elements are present in "The Goldeneye Overture".

    It will not be released until the next bunch of Bond soundtrack expanded CDs x-(.
    In the meantime, you may look at your private messages here ;)

    Its funny, GoldenEye isnt my favourite movie (carefully trying not to **** JFF off) but I do like the score that was made for it - to a degree. It would have been interesting to see a traditional Barry/Arnold score, however I feel that the odd techno score has an isolated and modern feel, which matches modern day Russia. For example, the Servanya music is spot on I believe.

    Oh taity, you never worried before, why start now? But yes, I believe it is very modern sounding and fits the film to a tee, as it's right after the Cold War, technology is now a huge part of society, specifically personal computers. Also, the music fits the whole Russia motif, so yes, it's a very good score.

    That's strange... Cause there's no such thing. I think there's a slight miscommunication there.

    Let me give you a trail: it's hidden in the released but rejected track :)

    But that's just A Pleasant Drive In St. Petersburg. Everybody who has the soundtrack heard it!

    More importantly, I just discovered that I actually own this soundtrack...I thought I just had select cues...

    And I've got some other version of the film version of "A Pleasant Drive..." but I want the "official version" (the one by..that other guy) Was it ever released?

    And what's with the really weird vocals in Serra's version?

    If everyone heard it, then why are we being asked here for Serra's version of the James Bond theme? :))

    It has just been laying here, drowned under electronica tunes and unused in the film.

    It was fun removing Serra's added beat cues to restore Monty Norman's hidden theme in a way that gives it kinda fresh air.

    The film version was rescored by John Altman and rerecorded by Nic Raine on Bond Back In Action 2 Silva CD.

    Cat, is the sequence where Bond is in the Archives anywhere present on the soundtrack? I don't think it is... and you're the expert!

    There are two cues there. One of them is Run Shoot And Jump, the other one is already the beginning of 'Tank Drive Around St. Petersburg' by John Altman.

    Where is the Altman tune? Does that one contain the music heard in the Archives as well?

    "A Pleasant Drive In St. Petersburg" (Norman arr. Serra)- on the GE soundtrack album (although not in the movie).

    "Tank Drive Around St. Petersburg"( Norman arr. Altman)- a re-recording is on Bond Back In Action 2 and The James Bond Collection. The original as used in the movie has not been officially released.
