I'm glad as anyone that David Arnold is never returning to the series.

David Arnold's best love theme? O-m43-10

DAVID ARNOLD (1997 - 2008)

But looking back, what would you say his best Bond love theme was?

Since when is he never coming back to the series? I thought Skyfall was just a break....:(

I can't decide between:

Paris and Bond
Elektra's Theme
Christmas In Turkey
Peaceful Fountains of Desire
Wai Lin's Theme
Field Trip
A Touch Of Frost
A City Of Lovers

2nd-ed.

I'm partial to 'Paris & Bond' as a runner up.

Same thing, IIRC. :)

Quote :: Field Trip

That's just the Bond theme with AWTD over it.

Fields never got a theme. She didn't deserve one.

Quote :: Wai Lin's Theme

Forgot about that one. Always liked this cue, before the action shit starts.

Can't work out if that's an Erhu run through a distortion pedal or software, or a distorted electric guitar played with an EBow.

My guess is it's the later, played by David Arnold.

It's FieldsMan's double personality.

"Peaceful Fountains" out of those options. "Vesper" has its moments too.

Yes, John Barry wrote a great score for OUT OF AFRICA.

I didn't, but it's quite nice. :)

I think I'll vote for Paris and Bond...

Do we know that for sure? Did he say that?

As for the main topic of this thread, I vote for Paris and Bond.

It's called wishful thinking. =P

One of the reasons I like the QOS score more than most of Arnold's others is because of the absence of a melodramatic love theme. That said, Paris and Bond isn't bad.

Ooh! I also love Kowloon Bay. Gorgeous piece that everyone hates.
