The BBC's veteran time-traveling sci-fi hero returns via a smart 21st-century update, one whose adventurous plot lines and super-charged visuals inspired this equally ambitious musical score anthology (covering seasons one and two, as well as two extended specials) by Murray Gold. The composer's sinewy, synth-charged update of Ron Grainer's original '60s series theme is a study in spooky dramatics that's also treated to a more expansive, album-closing arrangement, while "Westminster Bridge" and "Slitheen" revel in muscular evocations of spy music past that recall Michael Giacchino's similar tongue-in-cheek romps for The Incredibles. From there, Gold's music steadily expands in scale and scope, often achieving big-screen dimensions via the cinematic sweep of "Boom Town Suite"/"I'm Coming to Get You," the minimalist-tinged rhythms of "Clockwork Tardis," or the overt piano-and-orchestra melancholy of "Rosie's Theme." Completing the saga's musical makeover are a pair of ballads sung by the Divine Comedy's Neil Hannon--the effusive pop charmer "Song For Ten" and the more retro-R&B-quirky "Love Don't Roam." --Jerry McCulley

After waiting for 2 years the BBC have finally released the fantastic soundtrack to what is essentially their flagship television show.
Murray Gold, the British equivalent to America's Bear McCreary (check out the Battlestar Galactica CD's to see what I mean) weaves a collection beautiful scores which span seasons 1 and 2.
It's not until you listen to this soundtrack that you realise just how much of the series is affected by this music.
The CD consists of 31 tracks, starting with that unforgettable opening theme and launches straight into Westminster Bridge which is the first track from the episode Rose.
From there we launch into a collection of tracks from across the first two seasons and both Christmas specials. The only downside here is that they are not in episode order but for those with a keen ear you can work out what goes where.
Several tracks stand out from the rest; the touching Father's Day, the haunting Doctor's theme (one of my favourites), the militaristic UNIT, the dramatic scores for both the Cybermen and the Daleks and the bittersweet Doomsday are all excellent.
There are several great examples of leitmotif for certain characters which occur in other tracks and add an audio cue for the audience as to what's about to happen.
There are two songs by Neil Hannon, Song For Ten (from the Christmas Invasion as David Tennant goes through his clothes in the Tardis wardrobe) and Love Don't Roam (from the reception in The Runaway Bride) which are both good tracks as there are used as cues in other pieces of music.
All in all this CD gives you 75 minutes of great music and it's a must for any sci-fi collection. If you enjoyed this then check out any of the current Battlestar Galactica, Firefly, Serenity and Alien Nation soundtracks for more good sci-fi music of similar quality.
Enjoy!

Wow is the one word that sums up this sound track. I have never been a big fan of sounds tracks as so many have been poor in the past - so i was a little apprehensive about this one. However, i need not have been as this is to put it simply a brilliant sound track all round.
As past reviewers have said if you close your eyes on some tracks you can visualise the scenes in your head "The Daleks" and The Cybermen" being two tracks that do just that.
Then you get the haunting sounds of "Fathers Day", "Madam De Pompadour", "The Impossible Planet" and the incredible "Doomsday" used at the end of series 2.
However, the best track of all has to be the full version of the Doctor Who Theme it's brilliant really is worth the listen on it's own.
Murray Gold has done wonders in the world of Doctor Who with this outstanding album. If your a fan of Doctor Who or sound tracks then i urge you to buy this album as you'll not be disappointed.
Perfect! December 13, 2006

Soundtrack CDs can so often be a let-down. Not so here - pretty much all of the music here is genuinely fantastic. It could be enjoyed in its own right, but if you've followed the two series of Doctor Who closely there's an added dimension as each track recalls favourite moments - some happy, some sad, some just downright exciting.
Plus, the two songs performed by the wonderful Neil Hannon (of The Divine Comedy) are a welcome addition, both being great, lively tracks which benefit from his versatile voice.
Highly recommended!

Murray Gold's music for the new series of Doctor Who is not occasional or 'incidental'--it's an integral layer of the show. If you love the show you'll love this CD. Beginning with synthesized and choral work in the first year, and benefiting from more extensive live orchestral arrangements in the past series, Gold has carried a syncretic but diverse vision for the series' music through the show's revival. The tracks on this CD, over 75 minutes of music, represent the scope of that vision and creative stamina.
There are heartbreakingly lyrical character pieces, such as "Rose's Theme" and "The Lone Dalek." Haunting solos express the alien-ness of the show's focus in cues such as "The Doctor's Theme" and "The Impossible Planet." The various monster-threat motifs such as "Rose Defeats the Daleks" and "Tooth and Claw" evoke the epic scale of this 43-year-old TV series that knows no limits in time or space. The work of moving the show's episodes through travel scenes is done by thumping good action tunes such as "Westminster Bridge" and "UNIT." Doctor Who has always had a sense of fun, and tracks such as the "Clockwork TARDIS" and "Monster Bossa" reflect a playful side often missing from science fiction shows.
The CD also includes Gold's compositions for the series that feel like tracks from pop albums. "Doomsday" is an angsty, heart-wrenching tune in rock ballad style--with an inspired instrumentation. "Song for Ten" and "Love Don't Roam" bring cheeky 'retro'-style pop songs into the series, while still staying relevant to the episode's focus.
It's not the same as the old Doctor Who music, and it is wonderful.
Fantastic! May 14, 2007

With thirty-one tracks on one cd, there is no way this could be anything but great value for money. I am so pleased that Doctor Who fans weren't just palmed off with the token twelve tracks; here we are getting all of Murray Gold's perfectly pitched, haunting and utterly compelling soundtrack for season one and two. Highlights are the extended orchestral version of the "Doctor Who theme", "The Doctor's Theme" (almost entirely Melanie Pappenheim's solitary vocals), and the fitting swansong for Billie Piper and Rose Tyler "Doomsday". Even the sleeve insert is top-quality, with Gold's music notes for each track! My only gripe is that "Song for Ten" is not the same version as on the "Christmas Invasion" episode, this one having been re-recorded with Neil Hannon.
