I see someone else has been having a go with a similar idea: I rather like that they've stuck to Barry music which was contemporaneous with NSNA rather than using 60s/70s/90s Bond music - I think it feels a bit more coherent.
That second one is very good - but reminds us that Barry's films, right to the end, had a kind of visual moniker that would keep you company and set the character of the movie while tweaks would adjust the tone to relaxing or menacing. Never Say Never Again had none of that really, so you never felt the film as keeping you company somehow with familiar sounds.
The first clip - the opener - is okay but more obviously Octopussy based, and no need to sequester into that awful theme song when there's the other one that got ditched due to contractual reasons.

Hi all just wondering who the best people to PM about this are. I’ve only ever seen a short clip on YouTube. Much appreciated if anyone can help.
