This album is a masterpiece. Geoffrey Burgon's music, although quite different from Dudley Simpson's style, perfectly captures the flavor of these two classic stories. The way he combined the flute, cello, bass clarinet, timpani and electronic tones together was nothing short of genius. Listening to the tracks almost makes one feel as though they are in the highlands of Scotland or the greenhouse of Chase's mansion! This album is a must for Doctor Who fans and many thanks to Mark Aryes for making it a reality!

One of the things that made "Terror of the Zygons" and "Seeds of Doom" so memorable and atmospheric was the music. These two soundtracks are therefore a precious find. Among the CDs that I own it is one of the three best ones. Doctor Who soundtracks are difficult to come by, but if anyone can get this CD they should do so. Although it is said to be in mono, I have listened to it with earphones and feel no loss from this, as the stereo enhancement does add a good deal of distinction to the channels. It is very likely that people who are not Who fans will never find this CD, but it is truly great music, with the Terror music being a bit better than the Seeds music.

The reproduction of the music from Terror of the Zygons and Seeds of Doom, is exquisite! If you truly love Dr. Who, you'll appreciate this extrordinary masterpiece.

A must-have for even the most casual Doctor Who fan! The music on this disc is exactly as it was heard from the original television programs. Geoffrey Burgon's chilling scores will instantly transport you back to the first time you watched as a Zygon first appeared, or when the terror raced up your spine when you saw the deadly Krynoid pod burst open, and its deadly tendril snaked its way to its unsuspecting victim. This CD does NOT feature poorly re-recorded music; it is taken directly from the listening tapes of the composer, then digitally cleaned up for a clear, rich sound. If you are a fan of any Doctor Who era, this CD is a must have for your audio library.
