Oh man, that's exactly the song I was thinking of (though I had the original, electronically-produced version in mind). The glissando string part, which comes in at 2:28 in your recording, is this cinematic, unapologetic, swaggering thing, like a sweeping helicopter shot of an Aston Martin zooming across Tunisia.

I do prefer the original, electronically-produced version, because I think Amon Tobin is more talented as a producer than as a composer per-se, and I think a lot of the non-"classical" sounds in At the End of the Day are really well selected, like the electric guitar. It adds to the "James Bond"-ness of it all. This is the original, AIUI:
