    Well, the original is very good, Simply Vinly of England has it out
    on double LP heavy vinyl. But, not so sure about the more recent
    ones. I think Eric Serra (did many a Luc Besson movie "La Femme
    Nikita", "Metro", "THe Fifth Element"), and the title track was
    remixed/reinterpereted by Moby. The MI:2 soundtrack that's out now
    is mosly filled with bad rock/hip-hop mutants and hard rock stuff.
    Not sure if the'll release the score.

    There is also a Dimitri from Paris remix from the Sérialement Vôtre
    compilation from the French Commando Records, which isn't too bad,
    but, does stick to the very recognizable theme (with a "Neutron
    Dance" quote), but, that 5/4 does give one a bit of a stumble. (The
    comp I've got also includes versions of Hawaii 5-0, Le Prisonnier and
    Chapeau Melon et Bottes de Cuir (The Avengers).)
