Re: Doctor Who Series Five Soundtrack
:::dusts off thread:::
All right, so the Series 5 soundtrack was released this week in North America. I just listened to mine this afternoon and I wondered what everyone's favourite tracks are, especially the UKers who've had it for a while longer than us.
Here are my faves so far:
1. Doctor Who XI
I like this theme, a longer version that includes the "middle eight", though I'd hoped we'd get the opening titles version too.
9. I Am the Doctor
This one features the Doctor's action theme, though I think I actually prefer the much shorter "Onwards!" at the end because it omits the middle portions and just sticks with the core theme, and also really kicks into gear the way "I Am the Doctor" doesn't quite do.
18. River's Path
I really like the sound and scope of this one. It's epicness makes it feel like it belongs in a big screen movie -- I just wish it was longer!
21. The Life and Death of Amy Pond
When I first heard this music in the episode, right then I couldn't wait to hear it on the soundtrack and it doesn't disappoint. You can pretty much visualize the imagery that belongs with the music, right to the end of the episode.
22. Onwards!
As mentioned below, I love that this very short piece sticks to that main Doctor theme. I think this is the one that was used in all the trailers early on for the show.
Over on iTunes there's also the bonus tracks "Emotions Get the Better" (from Victory of the Daleks") and "Impossible Choice" (from "The Beast Below")
