	Moby: 'I didn't really want to record a James Bond theme.' ... Question16: How did you come to record a James Bond theme? Answer: The truth is I didn�t really want to record a James Bond theme. I got asked by the people at MGM/United Artists to record the James Bond theme for �Tomorrow Never Dies� and so I did and had I not been asked by the movie producers, I never would have recorded the James Bond Theme, because I actually, in all honesty, feel like the original is perfect, you know, the John Barry original and I think that my version of the James Bond Theme, it�s OK, but it�s certainly not any way nearly as good as the original recording by John Barry. ... http://commanderbond.net/components/quickn...&item=34900 - CD Times ~ Nobody Knows Me Like You Know Me ~ 'People Look Up.

	Interesting that he didn't actually want to record it. I would love it if the producers asked me to record my own version of it, but then again, he's right that nobody can beat the original.

	How sweet. He's right, the original is special, but I like Moby and I like his version of it. Things can't always stay the same.

It's kind of interesting to hear about this now as I don't really recall much news at all about why or how he came to do this remix. ~ Nobody Knows Me Like You Know Me ~ 'People Look Up.

	Why did the theme never make the film? why did they even bother to include it on the soundtrack. Anyway, I find it quite dull, some of the mixes on the single are alright though. An avalanche of action, BIGGER, BETTER...Different, if you think you know your Bond, think again.

	I recall reading an interview ages ago where he was upset his theme didnt get used in the film. I think the answer to why the theme didnt make it in is present in his interview, the Producers didnt request it. The studio did. Perhaps to get Moby's name on the CD? And ensure more sales? Daniel Craig is a great 007
