  Sad news. I was only watching the special features on Skyfall
  where he has a quick interview yesterday.

  "I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."

  He'll be sorely missed, nobody did it better.
  Am I right in thinking that Mr Watkins was the only person to have worked on EVERY official Bond movie, DN-SF?
  And that therefore the chain is officially broken....

  One of the best in the business indeed! Here's a RARE clip of him recording a cue from Casino Royale.

  Man, that gave me chills! Watkins was absolutely one of the best, and he will be certainly be missed on future Bond soundtracks. Thanks for sharing that, drum007. -{

  I love that "Wha Wha " sound they get from the trumpet by
  covering the end then releasing. Sounds so Bond. -{
