      Amazing second set, focusing on the years 1970-1980 with theme music, rare sound effects, atmospheres and ambiences, including material from Delia Derbyshire, Ron Grainer, Brian Hodgson, Dick Mills, Dudley Simpson and John Baker. Liner notes come from Mark Ayres, focusing on the technological advances enjoyed by the workshop during these revolutionary years (the image of Malcolm Clarke with the Delaware is worth the price of admission alone).

      Notes
      Doctor Who at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop Vol. 2 continues the mad experimental electronical musical journey from where the end of Volume 1 left us with some more great music from the cult BBC sci-fi show, Doctor Who.

      This second volume takes us through the 1970s, starting with a new edit of the theme celebrating the introduction of colour to the series and a brand new Doctor - Jon Pertwee. This CD carries on through to 1980 by which time we had been introduced to one of the most famous Doctors - Tom Baker.

      Whilst still using oscillators, filters and tape recorders, the guys and gals at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop now had early synths to play with too.


      Amazon.co.uk Review
      Picking straight up from Volume One, the Pertwee years and the transition into the scarf-wearing Baker are covered. It was perhaps the greatest period of change for the series: colour, Earth-bound setting, a greater sense of continuity and behind-the-scenes, a ceaseless experimentation to be at the forefront of electronic music and sound design by the BBC's Radiophonic Workshop. Chiefly responsible for the beeps and squeaks were Dudley Simpson and Brian Hodgson. Their work from "The Mind Of Evil" and "The Claws Of Axos", together with Delia Derbyshire's "Inferno", make up the album's first half. The chronology then passes on to Malcolm Clarke's revolutionary dabblings with the "Delaware" (a room-filling modular analogue synthesiser) for "The Sea Devils". Like Volume One, there's more electronic history than musical artistry to be appreciated, and this is especially true of the Sound Effects suite which includes great titles like "Nerva Beacon Infrastructure & T-Mat Couch". Finishing on the demos that landed Peter Howell further work in the show's third decade, the album closes with his long-lastingly stunning re-working of the classic title theme. --Paul Tonks
