007 and Counting (Diamonds Are Forever) - James Bond Music Cover

[@stephenrossiter9431]

Fantastic score from a fantastic composer........The best man ever to write music for Bond......Amazing how much music John Barry composed for the Bond films and every note is a masterpiece......RIP maestro

[@whirlwindjourney]

One of the best scenes and pieces of music out of any of the Bond films.

[@bean9seventy]

if music was a royal united kingdom hand made rolls royce ,, this is the track think barry may have been inspired by Holst "neptune " i always believe george martin was involved whereby paul mc cartney constructed ,, & recorded the bass line onto vinyl clearly the vinyl is a masterpiece that is perhaps impossible to duplicate or better

[@johnnyzeee5215]

Hauntingly beautiful, and great for the scene where everyone finds out the stolen diamonds have been used to create a giant laser in space.

[@alanstein3394]

Call it ethereal…call it otherworldly…just make sure you call it genius! Maestro John Barry…simply the BEST!

[@MrEab2010]

almost as elegant as the original. RIP Sean Connery and John Barry, you were quite a team.

[@RailzNY]

This performance needs more views

[@johnleggett5054]

One of my favourite Barry Bond tracks - so well played.

[@NH1973]

Beautiful. Sounds like the sister of Capsule in Space from YOLT

[@Chegolas]

Yes! Recently, I've been telling anybody who will listen that there's a gorgeous symmetry between Capsule in Space, 007 and Counting, and Flight Into Space. You can really hear a strong feeling of paranoia in Capsule, which lessens as you progress towards Flight, mirroring society's own paranoia transforming into understanding. All three sound in awe of the greatness of space, but the dominant feeling gradually moves from 'fear' to 'beauty'.

[@DanielRobertspiano]

There´s also a nice cover of this track, called Other World, by a band called Jakatta.

[@jrneal1220]

Given that a sense of the sublime is present in different ways among this, Capsule in Space, and Flight into Space, it's little surprise that one of John Barry's favorite composers was Gustav Mahler, whose music can reach sublime cosmic heights in contemplating the "big questions." In Barry's "Desert Island Disc" interview from 1999, he cited a recording of Mahler's Ninth, his last completed symphony, considered by some (such as Leonard Bernstein) a foreshadowing of what the 20th century would bring. So if you like the aforementioned Barry pieces, give that a listen... and maybe the end of Mahler's Second Symphony ("Resurrection") alongside Flight into Space.

[@PrincePurple]

Yes, Barry used his themes/motifs throughout the films. The space theme does appear in YOLT, DAF, and MOONRAKER. My favorite Barry motif was the descending four notes that Barry used for ski chase scenes. Unfortunately for us, Barry was only involved in two films that had a ski/snow chase (OHMSS and AVTAK). I found it so wonderful that 16 long years after OHMSS, Barry brought back those four descending notes. There I was sitting in the theater for A VIEW TO A KILL saying to myself, "Oh my God, it's the OHMSS ski theme again!" And, yes,I am still bummed out that Barry didn't score FOR YOUR EYES ONLY and its snow scenes.

[@oliverarado]

I always listen to this one every time I head into Las Vegas 🤣

[@studio18films57]

This is the reason i am in love with Bond! ❤️

[@TheAdam159]

Of all the incredible Barry cues in the series, this is one of my favourites. So dreamy and ethereal. Well played!

[@carljordan4515]

A True Masterpiece!!

[@booji90]

Incredible how true to the original this is. Bravo!!!

[@PrincePurple]

26 or so Bond films, and this scene with this music has to rank as one of my favorite moments in all the films. The moment when the satellite opens up and Barry's music hits the gong always takes my breath away. 1:03 in the above vid.

[@Danny451]

👍

[@jondellar]

Yeah there’s a wonderful accuracy the way that gong muted at the end of the note - and the whole score has a kind of gorgeous “dry” reverb. Sooo magical.

[@vnuwaifo]

Excellent!!! ❤

[@freemantong13]

Bravo! I love thus song

[@loganwb9894]

I know John Barry is always smiling down on you guys. Excellent! Love the jazzy, lounge, Vegas vibe. I was in Vegas with my parents in 1972. I was humming the soundtrack walking through the Circus Circus! I even played the water balloons!

[@ericoxner8333]

I can never forget this music. Love seeing satellite starts firing Laser beam blowing up stuff.

[@garyreid2178]

This performance goes to show that if you have an ensemble with the right instrumentation and written arrangements, you can mimic the sound of a larger orchestra with no trouble at all. John Barry might have used a larger orchestra on 007 And Counting (especially with the strings)but he probably used an ensemble with the same number of musicians as this one. Bravo! Well done!😎👏👍🎷❤️

[@QTheMusicShow]

Thanks Gary!

[@seanlynch5687]

God this has given me shivers. The definitive Bond villain tune and my fave.

[@johnbridge]

Can't believe how accurate the music that Q the music captures the score so perfectly.

[@Cest_Moi]

Back again, because I find I enjoy listening to these renditions just as much as the actual soundtracks, maybe even a bit more

[@patscott8612]

Even in JB scored Bonds if I amn't mad about the film itself; I find that I will stick around for the music. We all have our own favs.

[@ShaunaMarieSings]

This absolutely gorgeous...listening to it again for the third time!!!!! 💗💗💗

[@waveydavey99]

Wow, I have the chills!

[@colinwhite6719]

Wow! Bravo! Absolutely spot on. John Barry would be proud.

[@oldmoviesinbwwithsubtitles3501]

Excellent

[@ericoxner326]

I recall watching that dish open up.Catching sun light firing that layzer beam and causing atomic blast!And with this playing in the back ground..

[@markhunter954]

Excellent 👍

[@ericoxner8333]

Where it headed in a broaching sac headquarters.Better inform them.

[@ericoxner326]

"We better inform SAC!!"

[@DanielRobertspiano]

Beautiful! One of my all time favourites.
