I'm not particularly keen on '80's Who incidental music, but Earthshock boasts one of the coolest soundtracks in the show's history. It perfectly compliments the action - Clarke's themes are probably the very best thing about Earthshock. Love it. |

This is outstandingly eerie. Minimalistic, yet phenomenal, and has nary dated at all:

Love this soundtrack. Although Bartok's music is evocative and eerie in it's brief appearance, Wilfred Joeseph's Space Time Music (15:08- 16:25) is not only the defining piece of the serial, it plays in the mind when thinking of 60s Who in general: Mysterious, atmospheric but with an edge of melancholy further enhanced by the fact we may never some of these classics brought to light again.
Also Andromeda (00:00- 2:28) is beautifully haunting in it's own right.

Also Andromeda (00:00- 2:28) is beautifully haunting in it's own right. Phenomenal choice. Bartok's "Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta III" speaks for itself (also brilliantly used in Kubrick's The Shining), although the section from 16:30 to about 18:00 strongly reminds me of Jerry Goldsmith's score for Alien too. Interestingly, the score for the film "Freud: The Secret Passion" (1962, also composed by Goldsmith) was directly influenced by Bartok, and was also sampled for Alien, so there seems to be a common pattern there. "Music for Strings..." is echoed in that film too, during the sequence where Dallas moves within the air ducts- it's not exactly the same, but it's eerily similar in intonation. |

It's a bloody funny entry. en.uncyclopedia.co/wiki/Christopher_Eccleston |

On a somewhat tangential note, I just found myself browsing the Who uncyclopedia entry and only discovered this video for the first time today: |

I can picture it playing in a Kubrick film, actually, or in an Adam Curtis documentary. It's not the sort of piece you'd expect to hear in a series of that budget, but alas, Tristram Cary and the Radiophonic Workshop were indeed that good. |

I always envision the scene in The Shining where Jack Torrance zones out and does the iconic Kubrick stare when it plays for some reason. Anyways on the subject of The Daleks soundtrack, Funeral Chords is the most nightmarish imo. It's used to excellent effect in episode 6 of Power as the Daleks trawl through the corridors filled with massacred colonists. |

Yeah, I tend to envision a similar scene, although I also occasionally envision the Tycho Lunar landing sequence in 2001: A Space Odyssey. The Ligeti track "Lux Aeterna" oddly reminds me of the City Theme: You could substitute the Tristram Cary score within the same scene as the Ligeti choir and it would achieve a similar ambience. Funeral Chords is at its best in Power, although it's used more explicitly there than in the original Dalek story (where its use is comparatively fleeting). |

One of the best. The Sontaran theme is divine, and the range of cues from the haunting ambience in the abandoned space station to the jaunty Spanish guitars of Seville to the demented synth wailings that is the Androgum theme.
Revenge is turgid for the most part but I've always found the soundtrack enjoyable in an ''so bad it's good'' manner. Peter Howell's contribution at 5:03 is genuinely good though
