Somewhere between Eartha Kitt and Shirley Bassey Nothing to apologise for. I have been missing for a while!!! James Bond is cartoonish. I tried to stick to the old style Bond so glad that I managed to achieve it. Production is a tricky topic because it all comes down to personal taste... Thanks so much for your comments though. I'm going to listen with those in mind. Amanda :-) Check out my latest song called MacJammin

Hey Amanda Glad to see you post another one. I think you got the style just right. The one thing that Mungo mentions that I agree with (sort of) is that the vocals sound a bit thin in this mix to me - it almost sounds like a phase problem, but could have to do with a reverb choice. I know how full and lovely your voice can sound. Good tune. Check out my latest song called Big Bad World - Live 1-16-2009 plus - MJRF

Imaginative! Great job with this one, truly matches the classic Bond theme sound and style. They should be so lucky to have this for the opening! Steve Check out my latest song called Pieces

Nice Musical Paean... to the old-style Bond musical genre, although to be more authentic you'd need to add a little bit of surf guitar to the mix. You've done a nice job of suggesting --- rather than copping --- the main Bond theme. And while there are some quirky musical elements at conflict with one another in this arrangement, they are not a major distraction. As it's your first attempt at an orchestration like this, I'd say you've done pretty well. The vocals are very well done but do deserve a fatter presence in the mix. I do believe you've made Moneypenny jealous. ;) Check out my latest song called A Night @ Neverland

Shaken and stirred Great stuff… better than the recent Tina Turner, Madonna and Garbage Bond themes put together. However, still lacks that "fingers down the spine" songwriting magic that the very best Bond themes have, and I think others have mentioned that the orchestration isn't quite powerful or serious enough (maybe bad choice of words) for a Bond theme tune. The vocals are great and Mungo's Kitt meets Bassey comparison is spot on, but putting them forward in the mix, or whatever, would be good. Fantastic effort though. Goldfrapp would be my top choice for the next Bond theme but you're currently second on the list. Do they have your number? :-) Check out my latest song called Fiddler Off the Roof w/Komrade K & Caroline

Flabagasted!! Thank you first of all.. gonna try and lift the voice a little! I used a new mic and had a bit of trouble with it. But also messed around with it for a while post recording so that could be it! E. Gibbon - I am soooo chuffed that I'm your number 2 choice. That rocks!! Goldfrapp are fantastic! Is it possible to get the "fingers down the spine" - maybe not. No greater themes can be made than goldfinger, Diamonds, Live & Let Die! Cheers everybody!

Stirred and more than a little shaken A terrific track - you've you don't get the gig for the next Bond movie there's no justice in the world! There's been a few crits of the orchestration but I actually like the rockiness of this track and the xylophone scales - and wouldn't change these at all. Perhaps you need something more heavyweight at the end bring out more brass and, of course, some tympani thumps and cymbal crashes! Very catchy and stylish.

Chapman. Amanda Chapman This has a nice sound. The vocals and 60's styling put me in the mind of Combustible Edison. I think it's a pretty great tune, well done. The drums sound a little machine-ish to me. Nicely varied and imaginative. Also love the little nod to the Bond theme after the count down. A nice touch.

love all things Bond what a great job on this. I would be very interested in learning how you performed all the backing tracks? loops? analogue recording techniques etc? I also enjoyed "krackle", both the song and video. Both had excellent production, and your I enjoy your voice and sense of style. Look forward to more!

The Next Shirley Bassey? This was fun to listen to! (And better than several of the actual Bond songs in my opinion.) Of the unofficial Bond-style themes, this ranks right up there with "Firewall" used for the Bond parody episode of Reboot. Good work! Check out my latest song called Dance at Merry's Tavern

You had me confused ... since there was a (very strange) 1966 CASINO ROYALE, a James Bond self-parody film. The (excellent!) soundtrack was composed by Burt Bacharach, performed by Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass. I think the Dusty Springfield hit "The Look of Love" was written for the film. Amanda, please let me know (or just post to MacJams) if you ever "release" an instrumental version? Check out my latest song called Restrain

Prevailed in my mind Now that I'm back at MacJams, I figured I'd take a moment to let you know that your theme song to Casino Royale has stuck in my mind continuously despite the fact that I had only listened to it twice before. Even hearing the title "Casino Royale" spoken by someone evokes you singing those words. And sadly, although I remember it being pretty decent, I can't remember the real theme song, only yours. :) Check out my latest song called Dance at Merry's Tavern

Pretty cool! Very nice put together, it has the real Bond feel to it! Like the breaks with the brass sections. The drums sound a little to "drummachine" like... but thats not the core of this song anyway! Very good song writing! Check out my latest song called The Great South

Awesome!! This is great. I have been getting into old Bond movies recently and trying to get my hands on some of the original soundtracks. In my opinion the best theme songs were done by Shirley Bassey and you've really captured that feel here. Your voice is great when you really belt it out like that. More please!
