  • I gave in and got myself a CS-80 VST. This started out as a part two to the Amalgamation theme but evolved into something a bit different. The baseline took ages to get the sound I wanted for it but I'm quite happy with it at the moment, might tweak it a bit at some point.
    Instruments used:
    Yamaha DX7
    Roland Alpha Juno 2
    Behringer Pro-1
    Yamaha CS-80 VST
    EMU- Emulator Samples

    CZcams's been throwing a bunch of fan theme covers and remixes at me recently for some reason but this is the first one that captured the spirit of the theme in my head, a sci-fi feel with a bit of unease. This feels more like a Doctor Who theme to me than the orchestral and rock versions we've had thus far in New Who.

    I'm actually obsessed with the middle 8. Seriously the best one on CZcams.

    If Tom Baker or Peter Davison got the chance to take the Doctor to the big screen in the 1980s, this sounds like the theme they would've had. Sheer excellence.

    I gotta say, I've been cruising through hundreds of Doctor Who fan themes, from whomix to Vimeo to CZcams, and this is the best one I've heard. Genuinely. I could seriously imagine this on the show no problem. It still has the more modern "Gold-esque" orchestral flair in places but sticks to synthy spookiness like the older themes. Love this!

    One of the best, if not thee best fan-made themes...the music along with the late 70's Pinnacle Books logo really captures the mystery of Doctor Who better than any music/logo combo in NuWho so far.

    For the last 3 months, the passion for the series returned again a few years later (mid-2010s). I've heard a lot of fan-made reworkings of the title theme, extended versions of it, even merging the original and fan-made versions. But this one... It really has something unique. It is not just worthy of being on the same level with the official media, it surpasses many things. For me, who considers the theme of the seasons of Matt Smith to be the best, a theme worthy of overthrowing the King appeared in my perception)
