“Duran Duran. They've done New Romantic to funk to house, done them well, and combined them in interesting ways.”

“Duran Duran. I'm a fan of both, and have seen both perform, but it was hearing The Chauffeur live that really showed me how much a piece of music can do emotionally even when the lyrics are somewhat abstract.”
As you've likely noticed by now, you can't have a Bourne film without Moby's 18 staple "Extreme Ways." This time around, the electronic icon teamed up with composers Joe Trapanese and James Newton Howard (yeah, whoa) plus a 110-piece orchestra to create a sweeping new version of the song for the Bourne Legacy soundtrack.
Check out the new version plus an especially cinematic orchestra-only version below.
"Extreme Ways" (Bourne Legacy Version)
Still love the original string loop, but the new version has been decked out with an all-new funky groove and, of course, the full orchestra. It's endlessly fascinating to me that such an unassuming song (or at least I thought so when 18 first came out) has managed to last so long through these movies. Unimpressed? Hop to 2:55 and tell me this isn't the best version of the song yet. Some of the additions are slight (the gospel wail of those background vocals) but the orchestra makes a world of difference. Seriously, Moby—next album… with these guys… think about it.
What do you guys think of the new "Extreme Ways" mix? Excited to see The Bourne Legacy in theaters on August 10? Get the conversation started in our comments section below.
