3.0 out of 5 stars Revisiting Mondas 29 May 2003
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
Doctor Who in the '60's used to be littered with a large amount of stock music. This is just a small sample of the material that would accompany Daleks gliding into capsules and Cybermen marching across the surface of the moon.

This "mini-CD" collects all of the library score used in the 1966 story, "The Tenth Planet" starring William Hartnell as the Doctor. This story is historical in "Doctor Who" lore for 2 reasons: Firstly, it's the first story use the concept of regeneration (the process in which the actor who played the Doctor could leave the part and someone else would take over). Secondly, it's the first appearance of the extremely popular Cybermen monsters.

The recordings on the CD is of varying quality. Some of the tracks (namely the first 3 or so) are extremely clean recordings. However, the masters of Martin Slavin's "Space Adventure" sound like someone has been throwing the tapes around like frisbees(!). Irritating pops and crackles are present throughout. A disappointment, as "Space Adventure" was one of the most distinctive track in "Doctor Who" during the 1960's, and usually accompanied the Cybermen as their "theme" on the two stories after their debut.

Another depressing fact is that this soundtrack is only 19:07 minutes long! They neglect to list any track lengths on the back of the case, so fair warning to those who think that forking out £12.99 will get you a guaranteed 80 minutes of listening time.

It's unfortunate to go out such a low note as that, as this CD does have some excellent tracks for the more hardcore Doctor Who fans. However, everyone else should steer clear. "Mini-CD", indeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars As the Cyber Leader might say...'Excellent!' 24 Nov 2000
By Earl Green
Format:Audio CD
This music has been released a few times before under such titles as "Space Adventures" (which often goes for exorbitant amounts on the online auction sites), so I'm glad Ochre Records decided to create a new compilation featuring the music from the first (and several subsequent) Cybermen story in Doctor Who history. The mastering is crisp and clean, and it almost sounds like a recent recording. An essential edition - if a slightly pricey one - to the library of any Doctor Who music collection!

5.0 out of 5 stars Real metal music 25 July 2003
By Jameson H. Lee - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
For those who have ever seen the 60's Dr Who programs, they will know that aside from innovation in TV effects (people often forget that there was little to no no TV sci-fi in the 60's-80's, making Dr Who the innovator in 'how to do it'), but the music gets often overlooked. Here is a chance to appreciate the use of found sounds (playing off of a microphone stand) and synthesized sounds (the weird use of echoed drums and horns) that create the other-worldliness of the Tenth Planet.

This is a short CD, clocking in at only 20 minutes, but tracks 3-5 are worth it alone.

4.0 out of 5 stars First music for the Cybermen 5 Nov 2004
By Captain Corv - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
The tracks on this CD are apparently off of stock music that the BBC had available in the early 60's. (You can even hear that the CD is copied off of LP tracks because of the occasional pop, but only if you listen with earphones.) Some of the tracks were used in the "Tenth Planet" and subsequent Cybermen stories of the 60's, including "Tomb". The CD is short, as are the tracks, but it is a rare example of early music used in Who.
5.0 out of 5 stars Space Adventure alone worth the price of admission 8 Sep 2008
By Reuben Herfindahl - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Brilliant! Although this was all stock music, it was mixed very well with the story. The Martin Slavin tracks (Space Adventure 1 to 3) are the definitive Cybermen theme. It was used again in Tomb of the Cybermen.
