Murray added so much of his own such as the snares, string arrangements, brass and sound effects. I know you don't want this to be an argument, but I would always contend that the Gold theme is a totally new arrangement and not a "remix" at all.
How can it be totally new when he's had to incorporate someone else's work? I understand what you're both saying about the quantity of new material in Gold's mix making it more than a remix — I agree. I used his theme as an example because due to the project's requirements, he had to
incorporate someone else's work, whereas with David Arnold, he didn't.

In any case, what I really wanted to know was this:
