Say U.N.C.L.E.

It's a cover, but not exactly. I was too lazy to figure out the whole song, so I just took the basic hook and had some fun with it. First time working in Reason.

This is fun; very playful. I like the vibraphone break. The beat reminds me a lot of the (very excellent) music from Beetle Adventure Racing.

Nice one, itchy! It made me happy, and more wary of spies even than normal...

I kept looking over my shoulder for the butterfly knife. Well done.

The Spy is ready for the next assignment.

Very nice. The essence of the spy is in this one.

I guess I'm greedy, but I found myself wanting more -- a longer piece, more instruments, a bigger horn section. I was just really getting into it when it tapered off.

I like it. Not massively keen on the moment at the beginning after the junglist-y frums come in and then a saxaphone (possibly?) come in on its own following the main theme. I'd prefer a slightly less 'cheesy' instrument there. But I'll be humming this whilst making coffee later on...

nice stuff! reason, huh?

Great fun, and I say the cheesier the better.

Viva reason. And specifically, viva the reason vibraphone sound. I like BrnP84's idea of having one's own theme music that could play wherever you go, at least in your head. This would definitely work for that.
