5.0 out of 5 stars "Torchwood, outside the Government, beyond the police.....", 26 Sep 2008
By TK-1308 - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
At long last the excellent soundtrack to the Torchwood series is finally released. The CD has nearly 79 minutes over 32 tracks of great music from Ben Foster and Murray Gold.
Like the first two Doctor Who OSTs this one does not disappoint although I must confess that I found this one slightly more enjoyable than the other discs by Murray Gold.
The CD has tracks that mainly stem from the second season of the show and it covers all the classic scores for a sci-fi series. It's dramatic (The Chase), poignant (Out Of Time), haunting (Pearl and the Ghostmaker), sad (Death of Toshiko) and strange (Look Right Then Leave).
It's not until you listen to this score that you realise just how much of an impact the music has on the show. There are some great examples of leitmotif, especially for Jack and Owen, which crop up again and again in other tracks.
The tunes are evocative and for fans of the show you will find yourself picturing the events in your mind as you listen. The final track for the Torchwood Theme is slightly longer and very nicely done.
While there are several tracks which are very dramatic and reflect the energetic nature of the show, the disc has its share of softer, almost bittersweet moments as well. The balance is about right and it's definitely done to provoke and emotional reaction.
Murray Gold has worked his usual magic but working with Ben Foster has given the score a very different feel to the work on Doctor Who and it's all the better for it.
A definite must have for any sci-fi music fan or those who love a great soundtrack.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ben Foster brings his A-game to Torchwood, 7 Aug 2008
By James Thomas Jeans (Glenwood Acres, TX USA) - See all my reviews
For whatever reason, the American iTunes store has released this album for download quite a bit before the scheduled release date in the United Kingdom, and being the fan that I am of both Murray Gold and Ben Foster, I jumped at the chance to get the album in digital form ASAP.

I can't comment on the presentation of the disc itself as it isn't out yet, but the music itself is astonishing. While Ben Foster isn't quite as seasoned as Murray Gold on the composing front, he more than holds his own. The themes and motifs he's written to represent these characters range between grungy rock and heart-wrenching orchestra.

Stand out tracks include Owen's Theme -- a piece of music that was particularly popular among fans -- and Gray's Theme, which utilizes the voice of Annalise Whittlesea in much the same way Doctor Who utilized Melanie Pappenheim. Captain Jack's Theme is an epic composition that many fans will remember from the series 2 trailer that aired at the end of Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang.

While there's plenty of tracks that get the pulse racing, there's also a lot of quiet emotion on display here. Often the music is much more somber and reflective than what is heard on the parent show, but it manages to avoid the trap of becoming nothing more than atmospheric noise, and it certainly never gets dull. The last 5 tracks on the disc are almost entirely comprised of soft mournful melodies, but it works to great affect.

The extended version of the Torchwood theme is... odd. It begins by pasting the opening titles music (all eight seconds worth) onto the ending titles theme, but then segues into a piece that was used as incidentals on the show. The editing is a bit bumpy, but it works well enough.

The one sticking point, for me, is the lack of music composed by Murray Gold. He did some excellent work in the first episode of series 2, all of which is missing here. This album is almost entirely Ben's baby, and while it's strong enough to stand on its own two feet, some more of Murray's music would have been nice.

If you're a fan of Torchwood -- or a fan of electronic meets orchestra -- definitely pick up this album. It's worth it. Despite having purchased it on iTunes, I will definitely be picking up a hard copy as soon as it's available.

5.0 out of 5 stars Here He Comes In A Ruddy Great tractor, 26 Aug 2008
By B. F. Townsend (Kent, Uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
absolutely brilliant, Ben Foster continues to achieve brilliant music just as Murray is on Doctor Who, while Torchwood music on the whole is completely different to Doctor Who music, and that comes with the different feel of the show and the different target audience, it still amazes me just how good the music is. On most shows i don't really notice the incidental music its just their but in Torchwood and New Series Doctor Who i actually watch the episode and think wow that was some amazing music, I really want to get that on cd.

My favourate tracks:

Grays Theme
Captain Jacks Theme
Owen fights Death
Owen's Theme
Another Day Another Death
Toshiko sato Betrayal and retribution

Anyway to sum up if like me when you watch the show you think wow what brilliant music this is for you but if you are expecting music like the brilliant stuff Murray produces on Doctor Who this isn't for you because the music has a much darker feel just like the show.

Hope i Helped

Billy (17)

P.S. my title comes from Capitan Jacks theme, in an interview he said that the music in the scene in countryside in season 1 where captain jack came in on a tractor was based on "Here He Comes In A Ruddy Great tractor", this then became jacks theme. Listen and you'll see what i mean.
