Hi E-que,

you´re right I´m not exactly a fan of this 007 stuff that I couldn´t bend my brain to follow it´s string of nonesense and political demagogy it mostly consisted of. ( Have seen only 1 or two of the old films though, the rest I know from critiques and reports ).

But what I am about is when music ( Here the soundtrack of a James Bond movie called "Goldfinger" ) pretends to be something ( imitates other creatively made, original songs or styles ) while it is made so undemanding and cheapish itself. - And the audience still will follow due to lack of judgement and also simply, because the product is made up impressingly ( here a highly expected movie to be associated with, but it could just also be a famous club or repetition on the radio / TV ... Whatever makes the average individual suppose that a piece is widely accepted will make the product appear rather valuable to him. I say play a dull song on the media all the time or put it in another highly regarded sourrounding and it will be sold and celebrated. Even if its is only something like Goldfinger. )

Greets,

Ruphus
