Extreme Ways

"Extreme Ways" samples the strings notes from Hugo Winterhalter's cover of "Everybody's Talkin'", and the drum beats of Melvin Bliss's "Synthetic Substitution".^[5]

A video was made for the song, directed by Wayne Isham, which was later included on Moby's 18 B Sides + DVD compilation and the Bourne Identity "Explosive Extended Edition" DVD.

For the first two Bourne films in the series, The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy, the original version of the song was used during the closing credits.

For the third film in the series, The Bourne Ultimatum, a new version, "Extreme Ways (Bourne's Ultimatum)", was recorded and released both on that film's soundtrack on July 31, 2007, and as a one-track CD single on September 17, 2007.^[1]

For the fourth film in the series, The Bourne Legacy, another version, "Extreme Ways (Bourne's Legacy)", was recorded and released on that film's soundtrack on August 7, 2012.
