Captain Corv

One of the best music CDs ever made.

Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2004

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.

Doctor Who: Terror of the Zygons w/ The Seeds of Doom

Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2001

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.

Brilliant incidental music!

Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2000

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!

Elegant spookiness

This rather obscure BBC CD is a treat for the kind of Doctor Who fan who likes to collect and explore the sonic world that was such an important part of what made the show special. Clocking in at just under 80 minutes, it contains the incidental music for two cracking Tom Baker serials, the four part 'Terror of the Zygons' (1975) and the six part 'Seeds of Doom' (1976). This pair of stories were unique in having their music written by a fellow called Geoffrey Burgon (who also did the BBC's acclaimed 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy').
Sadly the BBC wiped the master tapes of the incidental music for nearly all of 1960s and 70s Doctor Who, thinking it would be no use to anyone after it had been dubbed onto the program itself - but in this case, the composer had kept some ropey old listening copies that the Beeb made for him. These have been lovingly curated and cleaned up by Radiophonic Workshop archivist MArk Ayres, and apart from the odd bit of hiss here are there, you'd hardly know this music had been salvaged from such materials.
Burgon's music is performed by a small 'chamber ensemble' of instruments (including a flute, a cello, a clarinet, a clavichord...) - despite what you might expect from Doctor Who, it's mostly very acoustic. I'd say it has an elegant simplicity and clarity, with a classy atmospheric spookiness without every being clichéd or hammy, Occasionally instruments have been fed through a ring modulator at the Radiophonic Workshop to give them a wierder tonal edge.
What you have to remember is that this music was never intended to be listened to on its own: it was written for the sole purpose of enhancing the atmosphere and drama of specific scenes in a television programme. As such, many of the cues are quite similar to each other (deliberately, to maintain a sense of coherence) and designed *not* to actively grab your attention, but instead to work away subliminaly in the corner of your ear. So don't expect this CD to entertain you! But if you want to bask in the mood or even study how TV indcidental music achieves its effect, it's fascinating.
One exception is the deranged electronic racket which the baddie in Seeds of Doom plays to his plants in his arboretum - here the music 'breaks the fourth wall' and becomes a part of the narrative ("The music's terrible!!" moans Tom Baker in the scene in question, as his ears are beseiged by the atonal racket! lmao!).
The CD has some informative sleevenotes by both Ayres and Burgon, and also throws in a copy of Delia Derbyshire's famous Dr Who theme tune for good measure.
If I have two small grumbles. FIrstly, that none of Dick Mills radiophonic sound effects for these serials are included (for instance the slurping electronics inside the Zygon spaceship, or the gurgling of the Krynoid pod as it spilts open to unleash a tentacle...). A selection of these would have made a great counterpoint to Burgon's work - but I guess they would have necessitated it being a double CD. A handful of them can be found on other BBC Compilations.
Secondly, this CD was pressed in a fairly limited run in the year 2000, and is long since out of print, and only obtainable on sites like this at exhorbitant prices for secondhand copies. I do with the BBC would get with the times and make this material available on digital stores too. It's not as nice a way to own it, but it's significantly better than not being able to get to hear it at all. It seems such a waste to go to the trouble of releasing discs like this, only to have them deleted within a couple of years and near impossible to find. Mind you, I tracked one down ;) Maybe will you too.
