The BBC's veteran time-traveling sci-fi hero returns via a smart 21st-century update, one whose adventurous plot lines and super-charged visuals inspired this equally ambitious musical score anthology (covering seasons one and two, as well as two extended specials) by Murray Gold. The composer's sinewy, synth-charged update of Ron Grainer's original '60s series theme is a study in spooky dramatics that's also treated to a more expansive, album-closing arrangement, while "Westminster Bridge" and "Slitheen" revel in muscular evocations of spy music past that recall Michael Giacchino's similar tongue-in-cheek romps for The Incredibles. From there, Gold's music steadily expands in scale and scope, often achieving big-screen dimensions via the cinematic sweep of "Boom Town Suite"/"I'm Coming to Get You," the minimalist-tinged rhythms of "Clockwork Tardis," or the overt piano-and-orchestra melancholy of "Rosie's Theme." Completing the saga's musical makeover are a pair of ballads sung by the Divine Comedy's Neil Hannon--the effusive pop charmer "Song For Ten" and the more retro-R&B-quirky "Love Don't Roam." --Jerry McCulley
Brilliant Soundtrack

this is a brilliant soundtrack. I have all the other seasons 3&4 of the Dr Who soundtracks as well. Definitely worth buying if you're a fan of the series.

if you are a mad Dr Who fan and remember every episode then you will enjoy this album. Great to just listen and relax to - brings back the memories of epic Dr Who episodes.
How could you give this a bad review?

This CD contains so much excellent music. Doomsday, for example, is a fantastic, really moving piece. It contains great variety, from upbeat and high tempo tracks such as Westminster Bridge, to more slow, slightly sad ones such as Madame de Pompadour. It even includes the glorious theme tune that we all love, and it includes a full length version of it (before and after the credits. Alongside the instrumental music, there are two tracks sang by Neil Hannon. Now, don't get me wrong, he's a great singer, but Song for Ten was better sung by the original, in the Christmas Invasion. But, it's still great to listen to. The whole CD is a reminder of the great episodes there have been.
Virtually all the music has been specially recorded for the CD, and this CD does the beautiful music in doctor who justice.
FANTASTIC!

FANTASTIC!
I have had it in my car for over 3 weeks and still havent tired of it. Each time I listen to a song it reminds me of a specific moment in the series. The only downside is that they arent in order. I would however recommend this cd to anyone who isnt sure.
What happened to Song for Ten????????????????
Review date: 2007-11-28 Rating: 8 out of 10
mostly great songs, overall great CD and a must have for any Whovian! but it is the wrong version of song for Ten!! I fail to see the point in putting a different version on the soundtrack to what was in Christmas Invasion, I loved the Christmas Invasion version, but I can't say the same for this one. I really can't see the point in including a completely different version, and I'm especially annoyed as nobody bothered to specify the CD version was different.
