The Rings of Akhaten

" I walked away from the Last Great Time War. I marked the passing of the Time Lords. I saw the birth of the universe, and I watched as time ran out, moment by moment, until nothing remained. No time, no space – just me. I've walked in universes where the laws of physics were devised by the mind of a madman. I've watched universes freeze and creations burn. I have seen things you wouldn't believe. I have lost things you will never understand. And I know things. Secrets that must never be told, knowledge that must never be spoken, knowledge that will make parasite gods blaze! So, come on, then! Take it! Take it all, baby! Have it! You have it all!"

When the final history of Doctor Who is written (in many years time I hope), this will be one of the hidden gems. And Murray Gold really pulled out all the stops with the music. This is one soundtrack I'd love to hear performed live.

Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular, Part II

Has it really been a month since that wonderful night in Melbourne? As I said in a previous post, there's amateur footage of it up on YouTube. Here's two of the best videos I've found so far.

First, This is Gallifey and Vale Decem (a piece of music always guaranteed to make me cry!)


And the conclusion - what else but Ron Grainer's epic theme music.


Hey, BBC! Any chance we can have something like this next year at the Opera House for the 50th?
