devil may care

Description

A few months ago there was a competition to write the theme / incidental music for a new James Bond book. The music was to be included on an audio book.
Audio samples of readings from previous books had to be included in the composition. I was quite pleased with my entry but didn't make it into the finalists. So am sharing it with Macjams. Hope you like it.
Many thanks to Ben Boldt for his wonderful Xylophone and Accordian sound.

	You nailed it This has a really classy John barry feel to it, Brendan. Really crisp production and great guitars ... nice 60's Connery vibe to this. s Check out my latest song called Give in to Love (w/t Birdman Wayne: MJRF 2010)

	murder was a bit of a nightmare trying to choose which vocal sample to put in..and where. But it was a requisite of entry to the competition so had to do it. Think it worked out not too badly. Glad you liked it and thanks for dropping by Check out my latest song called Barbed wire Sunday

	Gotta say - you had me from the first notes your melody is so dead-on perfect for the genre it's amazing. The whole composition is wonderful - you win in my book (pardon the pun). Check out my latest song called All Fall Down w/Particledots

	Good Feel This is another good one and catches the feel of a Bond theme very well. They were dumb for not using it. Check out my latest song called The Road Taken

	Miffed I was a bit miffed they didn't use it as I thought it would have fitted brilliantly..if I might say so myself. John Barry is a bit influence for me so I tried to get a bit of that in. Thanks for your comments Check out my latest song called Barbed wire Sunday
