Today, from the Bond on Vinyl archives, we’re listening to music from Die Another Day!
Following the positive reception to the soundtrack for The World Is Not Enough, composer David Arnold was brought back to score Die Another Day in 2002. Besides musical references to John Barry’s classic score for On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, Arnold was also able to create an updated version of the James Bond Theme with the assistance of British DJ Paul Oakenfold.
In addition to being a record producer and voted the “No. 1 DJ in the World” in 1998 and 1999, Oakenfold is a renowned remixer. He has provided over 100 remixes for 100 artists, including Britney Spears, the Cure, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Moby, the Rolling Stones, and U2.
This 12” promo vinyl goes beyond the Bond Theme featuring Oakenfold’s work from the Die Another Day soundtrack to include four longer mixes with either extended dialogue from all eras of Bond films, or just some bonus beats. The sleeve label states that the “original version” of the new James Bond Theme will be available on the forthcoming CD of the DAD soundtrack, which itself hit store shelves 10 days before the film opened in November of 2002.
