Never send a minion to do a god's work.

Glory ,'The Killer In Me'


Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

( continues...) ripoff)
A Man In A Suitcase - Ron Grainer (a British show I've never seen, but I've always loved this theme)
Modesty (Modesty Blaise Theme) - Eddie Palmieri & Cal Tjader (not the original sdtrk but in this case that's better. Great latin jazz version. Shimmery vibes. Yeah.)
Arabesque - Henry Mancini & His Orchestra (from the Gregory Peck / Sophia Loren spy movie. One of Mancini's exotic spy scores)
Mission: Impossible - Lalo Schifrin (longer arrangement. Cool to hear them stretch out on this.)
The Prisoner - Neil Norman (an alternative version, longer)
From Russia WIth Love - Count Basie (jazzier, of course)
Goldfinger [instrumental version] - John Barry (almost like a surf guitar! From the original soundtrack)
Venice After Dark - Lalo Schifrin (Never saw this movie though it starred Robert Vaughn. Perfect mood setter for euro espionage)
Danger Man (High Wire) - Bob Leaper Orchestra (one of the precursors to Secret Agent Man and then The Prisoner. Lots of electric harpsichord and electric piano in spy jazz. They liked very cold sounding instruments for the cold war)
Seven Faces - John Barry (another Barry TV theme)
Jonny Quest - Hoyt Curtin (the well known TV version. The horn charts on this were so tricky it was regularly used for auditioning brass players)
Jungle Beat - Hugo Montenegro (from the Man from UNCLE. Rocking!)
Experiment In Terror - Henry Mancini (massively ominous!)
Run Spy Run - Hugo Montenegro (more Man from UNCLE)
Dr. No's Theme Monty Norman (more hypno calypso)
Danube Incident - Lalo Schifrin (Many of you would recognize this as the track that was sampled for Portishead's "Sour Times")

On the ones where Hugo Montenegro is credited, he wasn't the composer. The official soundtrack was released under his name.

I'll get it out on Monday. I almost have the Crime Jazz mix together as well, so you'll get that too. Plus one of my all-time favorites, The Fabulous Go Go Bastards. Which is similar sixties and fifties jazz-y type pieces, but a bit more danceable. More like the music for a sixties comedy or caper film, most probably starring Peter Sellers.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The theme to The Venture Bros. would totally fit in there, right? It's by Steroid Maximus, one of J.G. Thirlwell's projects.

It's definitely inspired by that era of spy soundtracks. It's more dissonant than most of the sixties tracks, though. The Harvey Birdman theme also pulls from this genre.

I love the Havery Birdman, Attorney at Law theme. The random "Habeus Corpus" thrown in for no reason....

Uh-huh.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

You know the Harvey Birdman theme came first? The show was based on the song.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

I forgot to bring the Joe Boyd disc home from work, but I have to go up there this afternoon or tomorrow, anyway, so I'll rip it and post it then.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Hi. I'm never in this thread, but I have a question I hope someone can help me with. I accidentally bought the "clean" version of Black Parade off of iTunes. Do I need to beat myself up about it? Buy the real one also? Not care?

This is basically my introduction to My Chemical Romance - while I've probably heard them before, I haven't knowingly sat down and listened to them.
