The original series had a wide range of soundtracks that ranged from the eerie hums of Tristan Cary to the bombastic wide range of orchestral cues from Dudley Simpson to the synths and guitars of the Radiophonic Workshop. But which are your favorite?
My favorites
The Daleks (1963): Tristam Cary
3:05 to 3:17 still gives me the chills. Way ahead of its time
The Web Of Fear: Various Stock Music with Bela Bartok's Music For Strings, Percussion And Celestia
Another excellent eerie atmospheric soundtrack with the opening bit and Bartok's music still giving me the chills. Also an excellent use of Space Adventure 4.
Logopolis (1981): Paddy Kingsland
I may not be the biggest fan of Logopolis but the somber, haunting soundtrack still stays strong in my mind.
The Two Doctors (1985): Peter Howell
From the tense martial theme of The Sontarans to the horror esque theme of the Androgums as well as the lovely music for the scenes in Seville helps give the Two Doctors it's seasoned and exquisite taste.
Genesis Of The Daleks (1975): Dudley Simpson
Tense, fitting and excellent to listen on its own. As well as giving us the best theme for the Daleks.
The Invasion (1968): Don Harper
One of The Invasions many excellent points is Don Harper's unique soundtrack. It's slinky, mysterious and sounds like Doctor Who meets Bond.
Enlightenment (1983): Malcolm Clarke
Enlightenment's magical, adventurous surrealism is further enhanced by Malcolm Clarke's excellent, magical surreal score. 6:15-7:54 is my favorite piece.
Spearhead From Space (1970): Various stock music
More excellent, creepy and cinematic music to go with the cinematic feel of Spearhead.
Resurrection Of The Daleks (1984): Malcolm Clarke
One of the lesser Dalek stories of the original series but an excellent soundtrack nontheless.
