John Barry (Prendergast, 11/3/1933-1/30/2011), RIP. This gentleman's musical compositions ranged from 007 to Midnight Cowboy, from The Lion in Winter to Ruby Cairo.
Music is a key ingredient in films, TV series, life. Bond music comes around often in the mind, more often than Groundhog Day, and in the best way possible. Is there anything from pop culture that inspires you in this way?
Above: AGENT 007 i ILDEN : "THUNDERBALL" (Danish: Agent 007 in the Fire, 1965).
Goldfinger (1964). This is the first record I remember adoring, as a young kid. Loved it -- still do, especially Shirley Bassey belting out the title song.
Barry broke out the sound synthesizers for On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969).
Today's Rune: Strength.

I don't really have an answer to your question, but I wanted to say that I have the utmost respect for John Williams. He's just awesome!
