Yes, you're right that there were samples in the trailer theme, I should have been more specific. It was the bassline I was thinking of. The Gold theme was produced to reintroduce as well as introduce the series to viewers, so I accept it couldn't be anything else but a remix.

I hear a massive amount of remixes on the internet but few truly unique and original versions of the theme. As I mentioned, Peter Howell is such a massive influence to some that all their themes sound like a homage.

I don't consider this an argument at all, I'm interested to hear what experiences musicians have had in their attempts or successes at creating new arrangements of the theme rather than sampling old ones.
