5.0 out of 5 stars ... and in the end the beginning... 22 Nov 2004
By A Customer
THE 1980s: the beginning of end of DW's golden era and - though we didn't know it - the Radiophonic Workshop. But as synths replaced the warm valve magic of the 1970s wizard PETER HOWELL conjured one of the last great telly scores - deep, rich, widescreen and witty, and well able to stand alone from the drama it served. The shadows and light of that last, doomy TOM BAKER season are well-represented here with shimmering digital clarity. And the best bit's at the very end, with MARK AYERS' brilliant digital stereo remix of the original RON GRAINER theme - airy, scary and almost certain to herald in ECCLESTONE'S new era.

5.0 out of 5 stars A sterile planet reborn to the sound of music 30 April 2002
By A Customer
Hardly an ideal vacation destination (more like Sellafield than Scarborough, in Earth terms) but for the Doctor and Romana it will just a busman's holiday; murder, sabotage and a time experiment that does wrong. BBC Radiophonic Workshop's supremo composer Peter Howell has created a truly cinematic television score that John Williams would crave. Skillfully, its aural multi-laying echoes the hateful duplicity and menace that lurks around every corner and corridor, whilst sensitively revering the desperation of the dying world of Argolis. Like a chess-master, Howell employs key-moves to lighten the oppressive backdrop with hints familiar popular music ("I do like to be beside the seaside, beside the sea" breezes across Brighton beach as we see our Timelord asleep in a deckchair) and a superb pastiche of Ravel's emotive Bolero as the adventure reaches it climatic, yet hopeful, conclusion. Wonderfully evocative. In addition, presented here is, for me, the best arrangement of the DOCTOR WHO theme tune premiered during Tom Baker's final season as the Gallifreyan. However, for purists the bonus track is the first STEREO version of the original 1963 theme tune composed by Ron Grainer. Listen and choose for yourself.
