Incidental music elimination game

Post by Kristatos »

I have finally compiled the Spotify playlist featuring one slightly lesser-known instrumental track (hence the name "Unsung Bond" - geddit?) from each EON Bond film, which you can listen to here (total playing time 1:14:22). Thanks to Omega for his help in compiling this list. I have tried to pick a track that is either fairly well-known or which I feel embodies the film it comes from and associated soundtrack (eg a romantic theme for OHMSS, an Oriental-sounding one for TMWTGG etc.) Some films were more difficult than others, as there wasn't really a standout track. I won't name names, for fear of influencing the vote, but I think it will be apparent which ones I'm talking about when you listen to the playlist. Also, I have tried not to pick tracks that are simply instrumental versions of the main theme or secondary themes (We Have All The Time In The World, Surrender etc), though it was not always possible to avoid them altogether, as they tend to be woven throughout the score as leitmotifs. In the case of Casino Royale especially, I picked The Switch precisely because it was one of several tracks that very subtly incorporated the James Bond Theme, as I felt that this slow build towards its final unveiling at the very end of the film was the distinguishing feature of that particular soundtrack.

THE RULES
I recognise that we have had several new members join since the last elimination game, so I figure I should go over the rules for their benefit. Each track starts out with five points. Players deduct one point from their least favourite track and give it to their favourite track in each turn. Once you have taken a turn, you cannot take another for 24 hours. When a track reaches 0 points, it is eliminated from the game. The last track to be eliminated is the winner. When the list has been whittled down to a top 5, the points are reset to 5 each, as the game tends to drag on for too long otherwise. This is not really a rule, but in order to make the game easier to follow visually, I would ask each player to bold the names of the tracks in their post and change the font colour to red for the track they are taking points from and green for the track they are giving it to. I hope that is clear. The actual list will appear in the next post.

A couple of tracks were only available in medley form. For the purposes of this game, the Octopussy track only counts up to the 1:13 mark and the Living Daylights one up to the 1:32 mark.

After listening to the whole DN soundtrack, I can see why Monty Norman wasn't asked back to do another one.

Dr. No: you forgot to add an extra point to the TB track. It should have been 7 points. I have corrected it now.

Incredible work Kris! :cheers:

I've just realised that because some of the tracks were local files from my hard drive, they don't show up on the playlist if it's not played on my computer. In the interests of completeness, here are the missing tracks on Youtube (sound quality won't be as good as Spotify, but at least you'll be able to hear them).
