5.0 out of 5 stars The Greatest Doctor Who Score Ever? Maybe!, June 2, 2004

This review is from: Doctor Who, Vol. 3: The Leisure Hive (Audio CD)

The Leisure Hive marks a turning point in Doctor Who music. From now until the Sylvester McCoy era, all music would be provided by the now legendary BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Peter Howell's score for TLH kicks off this new era with a bang. Voltage controlled synthesizers guide apregios to hights previously unattainable by Dudley Simpson's chamber orchestra. And the famous title theme has recieved a well deserved overhaul (the only good one I might add). This cd presents the Leisure Hive score in its entirety along with the appropriate opening and closing themes (these are the original recordings, not available on cd up until now). Some sound effects from the story along with Meglos and Full Circle are also included. One final surprise is an all new stereo remix of the original Derbyshire Doctor Who theme, which combines elements from the original album version and Hartnell recording. A must buy.

This review is from: Doctor Who, Vol. 3: The Leisure Hive (Audio CD)

This Dr. Who music is by far the best of all Dr. Who music. Yes it is synthesized, but it is composed as a synth orcrastra rather than just a few slopped together instruments like most synth music today(and the Sly McCoy trash). This is every bit as good if not better than the classic DW music. It was done as classic music, only modernized by synth and then given a space-opra feel for the times. Paddy Kingsland and the other artists should be comended for their masterpeices. 1980-81 was the best of Dr. Who music!(Even if it was Muzak).
