Deathmatch 2026 - Semi-Finals: All the Music

Skiers v Astronauts.
Zombies v Frogmen.

Films have been made with much flimsier plots. I’d watch both, readily. But to listen to?

I voted for:

On Her Majesty’s Secret Service over Moonraker
Live And Let Die over Thunderball

Funny coincidence: that nine minute OHMSS remix track by the Propellerheads features a lengthy Space March segment from MR. Peak Barry.

It also could be another verse for “We didn’t start the fire”.

Hard choices as I rank all of these highly. But it’s OHMSS over MR and TB over LALD. I think TB is the most James Bond sounding atmosphere ever recorded. It captured his essence so well, The Rack and Sweat Box being a perfect example.
