[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 312425, member: 8"] Bond Song #13 [ATTACH type="full"]34490[/ATTACH] The whooshy/icy intro of the main vocal theme is most intriguing. Could it be the sound of the Moonraker reentering the stratosphere to bring us a refreshed James Bond who looks uncannily like Simon MacCorkindale or Stephen Collins? Anything is possible when you're out there. Sheena starts to sing and it sounds mysterious and I'm feeling optimistic. But then.....PLING! PLANG! PLONG! followed by a draining chorus that stays on one flat, shriek level.
