If you listen to track 14, Antonov, you'll hear David Arnold uses a very brief part of the kettle drum rhythm from the 007 Theme at the 7:35 mark on the track.

As others have pointed out, Arnold has paid "homage" to Barry's Bond scores in other tracks on the CD too. I think the "You Only Live Twice" type orchestration in track 15, Going Down Together, is a very obvious example. Some have said this piece was a direct "rip off" of "YOLT" but I disagree. It's just the sound of the orchestration, the melody is not the same to my ears at all. As a matter of fact, I found more uses of previous Arnold Bond motifs, etc. in this score than Barry ones.

All those early comments about the use of the choir being very Barry-like aren't really true. The choir sounds more like stuff from "Stargate" than Barry score to me.

As usual, this is a score that gets more interesting the more I hear it. Can't wait to listen to the rest of it in the film next week.

THANK YOU!!!!

And here certain folks said I was wrong..... (well, I did say ID4, not as "in-your-face" as STARGATE.... but still. )

It doesn't resemble "Stargate" at all, IMO.
