For anyone who is totally addicted to Doctor Who - this album is for you. If you thought Series 1&2 original sound track was good, then this will blow you away.
Murray Gold has excelled himself once again, delivering a soundtrack high in passionate imagination-capturing content that really will take you back to The Doctor and his adventures.
The Album begins with All the Strange Strange creatures, which is a compliation of all the generalised music used in many episodes in the series. There are also more episode-specific tracks like Evolution of the Daleks and Boe. But some of these do end sharply (as heard in the TV series) and over lap into some of the more general themes.
There is also a track called The Doctor Forever which is done in similar vain to All the Strange, Strange Creatures and covers all the "Doctor" music used in various episodes.
There are also 3 vocal tracks, 2 sung by Yamit Mamo who is an up and coming singing star, and one sung as a chorus (Abide with Me)
All tracks are explained on the inlay, with a bit of information about when and where you were most likely to have heard the music, and the background behind how the track was produced printed on the backdrops of appropriate scenes from the series.
If I had to pick a favourite track, it would have to be: This is Gallifrey: Our Childhood, our home which really captures the majesty, authority and culture of the Time Lords - a track which was used whenever the Doctor/Master recalled events long since passed before the great Time War.
I would certainly recommend this to anyone who has seen Series 3 and wants to be reminded of some of the best moments, as well as getting an insight into the music that made the series what it was.
