So, who's going to get to do a bond theme then, lads?

I just come out of the casino
Talking to the most
Blonde I ever met
Shouting
Luger luger luger....

Ha, well, if anyone can convince them to do it, it'd be Danny. I don't think the producers would let him use a techno song though. I imagine there's a chance Rick could score it though.

Yeah, possibly, but they did soundtrack the 2012 Olympics which did feature Daniel Craig. I think its a good possibilty...

The dream ticket would be a collaboration with Hybrid, who have pretty much been building up to doing a Bond theme for 20 years.

Agreed with respect to Hybrid; their soundtrack and score work have been outstanding over the years.

Regarding techno-Bond, Moby did a remix of the Bond theme for "Tomorrow Never Dies" soundtrack, though it wasn't the main title themesong. Still, a pretty fun mix and great to hear live. Moby thinks it was nonsense to remix that iconic track, but in the late 90's, you got this sort of crossover (see "mission impossible" and "lost in space")

Given that UW have soundtracked a good number of plays and films now and their content isn't always (or even often) banging techno (take "Breaking and entering" or "Frankenstein" for examples), I could definitely envision a melidically-creative, moody Bond song or few by our boys.

The Art of Noise had a go at it too, far too irreverent to make it into a film, but still fun:

...and Danny Boyle has left the project due to 'creative differences'.

Well, it was fun while it lasted.
