I absolutely love this song. Maybe the official re-tweet will forgive my thread necromancy here , but I think it's time I took this into Audacity (unless someone has a better Linux tool they'd recommend) and dropped the intensity on the drum entrance. It's just too heavy for me. I know most modern music for TV and small movies is synth rather than orchestral, but it can be really jarring when you go from something that's beautifully orchestral and natural sounding to some painfully obvious synth trumpet or sax; or in this case drums.

Fun little low key mix. Won't make it on my ipod with sirens in it though. Radio and other music with horns, sirens etc. just freaks me out when I'm driving.

The pizzicato opening made me think of the 2009 Sherlock Holmes movie.Similar rhythmic strings (which is also a trait of gypsy jazz) and driving tempo, but taking it a different direction with the electronics and bells. I doubt I would have thought of a thief directly without the explanation, but the espionage / high energy heist feel definitely comes through.
