Which version do you prefer?
Personally I think Moby did a really great job updating the theme but I just can't see his version be used in any of the films. It works great as a standalone piece.
Oakenfold's was recently released and is a mix of David Arnold's end credit suite from The World is not Enough.
There are two different mixes of it available. The first is available on the Die Another Day soundtrack and the second version, which contains ascending strings underneath the guitar can be heard in TV commercials such as Omega and Vodafone.
I prefer this to be honest as it has a great feel to it and is quite uplifting in places whereas Moby's has a dark feel to it. Using the electric guitar over the brass section was also an excellent decision by Oakey and it definitely gives it a better feel IMO. |

| Oakenfold`s theme has "ready, steady,go" drum line so i prefer to vote for Moby`s version for its original version. |

I can't decide wich one is better cause they both have something that I like..........
But if I give it a go, I would give the credits to Mr. Oakenfold I think....... |

Haven't had a chance to hear the Oakenfold theme yet but I know
the Moby version has been around for years, dates back atleast
2 or 3 years, really good remake too. |

Moby's version goes back to '97.. i like his original very much but L.S.G. Remix is absolutely the best mix of it. The other remixes aren't that bad either..
I'm not that keen on Oakenfold's version, it's just missing the "thing" for me. |

| Personally I much prefer Moby's version. Especially the Da Bomb Remix by Blank & Jones and L.S.G remix by Oliver Lieb. |
