Good idea, but not even amusing to Morrissey-haters like myself:

Pretty spot-on, ablate I'm a cursed Morrisseyfan.

You could put a fantastic title sequence around this though it's more texture than melody:
The cod-Joy Division middle eight at 1:56 is one of my favourite musical moments from the last few years. Electronics at their most bewitching.
For some reason, Editors didn't even put Life As A Ghost on the album. Shome mishtake surely...

Mark Ellis and his famed System 700?
Yeah, plus Staccato Heaven (without the sample), an Eventide Harmoniser and Oberheim Xpander. I should add that Tom Smith claims it's a Juno 106, ARP Odyssey, MicroKorg and Minimoog. It ain't, but live you can see he used a Korg and Akai MPC in the early tours. (Not sure what the Minimoog's doing. Nothing on this track that I can see.)

I dismissed Editors in the past as a poor man's Joy Division (they merged in my head with Interpol and The Bravery), but maybe I should give them a chance.
Maybe. Everything I like about that record is Flood not Editors. Live all the fragility disappears.

Removing the attack from D50 samples seems to be a common trick for Flood--apparently there's an EQ'd and compressed D50 sample behind the Emu choir in Enjoy the Silence.
The beginning of Enjoy the Silence is pure Digital Native Dance. You wouldn't get away with that nowadays.
The only way to use the D50 today is to roll off the 8-bit samples and use it as a semi-organic pad machine. Add a 12-bit sampler and you have instant industrial soundtracks for less than £500. For me, it's the only one of the late-80s digisynths that's still desirable, partly because its hybrid circuitry is so idiosyncratic it can't be accurately sampled or recreated by any other machine. Incidentally, I don't recall the D50 being used in any Bond soundtrack; its dominant period was when Eon was in a legal war and no Bond films were being made. The D50 is all over Twin Peaks though.

The artist for the title song will be announced on September 8th.
This is my wild guess: Ellie Goulding and Radiohead are BOTH announced, but they're doing different songs. Goulding will do her title song, while Radiohead compose their own instrumental theme that's used throughout the film, reminiscent of On Her Majesty's Secret Service having an instrumental theme and Louis Armstrong doing "We Have All the Time in the World". Or, they go the same route as The Living Daylights that had multiple songs.

So is Lana Del Ray so I hope it's her. No Radiohead or Adele, but I think it's pretty much guaranteed now that it's Ellie Goulding, just because of her tweets…

Never heard of Decca Records, but I've heard of some of the acts on the list. Gives me hope ONE REPUBLIC could somehow be an "out of the box" surprise, but at this point am resigned to it being Ellie Goulding.
And if you're dead, are you really still a signed act anymore? Shouldn't Amy Winehouse be off the list by now?

Decca was the Stones' label for many years so basically you're saying you know shit about music. Decca's Ring cycle is considered one of the greatest recordings ever made and the company also popularised stereo and the long-player. In Britain, Decca still has a similar brand recognition as EMI or Parlophone, at least among people of your generation and older. As well-known on this side of the pond as Atlantic or Capitol in the States.
As an aside, dying can be a great career move. See some guys you've never heard of such as Kurt Cobain, John Lennon and Elvis Presley. Oh, and Amy Winehouse.

EON has become adept at spin and disinformation in the last few years. And none of you seem to mind.

Hopefully you're right.
That said, even SPECTRE's title was leaked a few days before its official reveal, thus I wouldn't call them "adept".

Well, with that tweet right there that settles it. What that means for Goulding, I suppose we'll find out. Either she did a secondary song or whatever she did was rejected.

Depends on who was doing the leaking.
Smith was the obvious choice then Eon misdirected fanboys in a thousand directions. Now we're right to the wire and no one's quite sure.
Nice play, Eon.

The title leak only happened at MI6 Community, and nobody outside of that forum took it too seriously before the official announcement.

Sam Smith, the little shit:
Quote :
Singer Sam Smith has denied reports suggesting he will perform the theme tune for the new James Bond movie, Spectre, tipping Ellie Goulding to instead get the call from 007.
Appearing on Capital FM radio, Smith ruled himself out of the running to follow in the footsteps of luminaries such as Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey and Nancy Sinatra on the 24th official Bond movie.
“People seem to think I’m doing it but I have no idea what’s going on,” he said. “I’m being deadly serious. I think I would know by now. I heard Ellie Goulding was going to do it, it’s definitely not me.”
