I was very surprised to hear the opening develop into such a TV theme section as if grafted on for no reason.

Later, about a minute before the end there is a lovely moment of calm, the drums are silenced and the mood could have been seeded by Riuichi Sakamoto.

The piece as a whole would benefit from rethinking the percussion, I find the use of a conventional kit and familiar beats spoils the mood created.

The Emu is clearly a candidate to write the next bond theme.

Not sure about the mid section mood change suddenly goes a bit Chinese before building up again
