Members Hard Truth Posted December 15, 2007 Members Share Posted December 15, 2007 The theme of our New Years eve party is spys, especially 60s-type spys, since it is the end of '007. Any recommendations for music? I already have United Future Organization, Morricone, James Bond and the Prisoner soundtracks, and Sex Mob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Pokes head into thread, looks around to see if anyone mentioned Peter Gunn yet, notices that's affirmative, nods in approval.

Members Magpel Posted December 17, 2007 Members Share Posted December 17, 2007 Heh, a little OT, but my band has a song in which we refer to "E Spy" as one of the chords in it. It's just a standard first position E minor but with a chromatic walk from B to C# on the B string. It just says "Spy." So...is there anything inherent in the music that makes it "Spy" or has it just become associated via...association? I suppose tension and sophistication are traits that make "that sound" amenable to spy films. Of course, by now it's a full-on meme and style, just as Morricone to Old West myth.

Members ASG Posted December 18, 2007 Members Share Posted December 18, 2007 One of my favourites from the 60's was Tony Hatch's theme from The Champions about 2.50min in. Trivia - immediately after in the gym scene you see Dave Prowse who was the body of Darth Vader. Regards, Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members motord Posted December 18, 2007 Members Share Posted December 18, 2007 I suggest you look into some Combustible Edison.

Members angstwulf Posted December 19, 2007 Members Share Posted December 19, 2007 Barry Adamson: "Moss Side Story" mainly but also "As Above, So Below" and "The Negro Inside Me" Moss Side Story is a soundtrack to a spy movie/thriller that never existed. Nice mix of found sound, covers of great stuff from the 50's and 60's (Man With The Golden Arm, March of the Marionettes - which was the Alfred Hitchcock Presents theme) and jazzed up techno that would have fit into the era quite nicely.

I flip between that and Groove Salad (another SOMA station) when I want some chilly loungey stuff to ambiently accompany my day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
