@JASpiring Indeed :) sad though, the arranger (Dominic Glynn) appeared to be trying to take it a world away from Peter Howell's crashy and percussive version to something darker. IMHO it worked well, although both versions are hard to improve upon (and Keff McCulloch failed miserably)

Sounds fairly good, I've always had a soft spot for synth laden tunes! I do much prefer the Peter Howell version from the earlier eighties! that was still synth but I preferred the sound (for me that was the definitive version)
-
I like this one it reminds me of the doctor traveling around the galaxy a kind of universe star sound and he is saving people
-
Man this version of the song sucks. It's too busy. Like they tried to cram every effect they could think of into it,
-
1986? So this was only used on Trial of a Timelord?
-
Sorry, but that is simply not true. Synthesizers existed in 1963...
-
agreed
however there were analog synthesizers in the 1950's already
Switched on Bach by Wendy Carlos from 1968 was the first all synthesizer made record, and it was a big seller too.

First time the Colin Baker opening was used in Dr. who was "The Twin Dilemma", except it used Peter Howell's theme.

Strangely addictive though.
SHUT UP!!! SYTHESIZERS RULE!!!!!
also you don't have to be old to like it, I'm 13 and my bro's 16 and WE like it

What are you talking about? This is a good theme. If you're going to blame anything for killing of Doctor Who, blame the crack-pot producers.
