    Well, at least it's not Muse. I've liked their work in the past, especially 2006's BLACK HOLES & REVELATIONS, but their new Bond-inspired track is a messy, bombastic offering. There's a good theme lurking within but it's overproduced to within an inch of its life & comes across asa bit of a Queen parody. I burst out laughing in HMV when I heard it. A pity.

    Adele's probably the better choice to compliment what we know of the film to be like thus far.

    Loads of tweets like the one below stating that Adele's Skyfall theme song will premiere on the 4th October at 7.07pm US eastern time. That is 0.07am on the 5th October UK time.

    Well good omen or not (I'm not sure how that works :# ) try This B-)
    This is the song she references in the link.

    Try it, you might just be surprised by her powerful, and rather excellent voice -{

    Congrats to you too.... 4,000? That either means you've been around for a looooong time, or you just like to talk a lot :))

    Thanks for that, Lexi. And congrats on your 2,000 posts. -{

    Adele does have a good strong voice. The song is pretty darn good also, I listened to it approx six times back to back while I was eating my dinner and it grew on me each time. It certainly gives me cause for optimism regarding the Skyfall theme song. Looking forward to it now.

    A British artist too, the first one in 23 years (unless you count Shirley Manson as part of US group Garbage).

    http://soundcloud.com/sebastiaomota/adele-skyfall-preview Here is the official sample (I hope)... It sounds wonderful, can't wait for the full song!

    Can't wait for it!
    Imo Adele is one of the best singer/songwriter of our time. I can recommend her Album "21" to everybody, especially the Live CD. Very powerful and emotional.

    Looking forward to 1:07am German Time :)

    It has a nice feel to it...and I got goose bumps when I heard the Bond notes drift in towards the end. I am a geek, aren't I?

    The name is Bond, James Bond...

    I like...a lot! The way they've incorporated part of the James Bond theme is great, and I like Adele's voice as well. I had a good feeling about this one from the start. Now I can't wait to hear the full song!

    According to MI6, the full song is 4 minutes 46 seconds long. A shorter version will be used for the title sequence.
