I wouldn't have said that Danny because now he'll see that if he ever comes on the site.

He'd have to be a registered member to see that and I don't think he'll ever join. He's too egotistical. :P

(Ha! In your face, Mark!)

:tardis: :tardis: I can see both sides of the argument (for me it's got to be Delia Derbyshire), but nobody can say that what she did was just "tinkering to make a new sound", what she did was evolutionary, electronic music today wouldn't be the same without the original Doctor Who theme. And if you want to see how much work went into the original Doctor Who theme, just watch the documentary in the "Doctor Who: Beginning" boxset. But at the same time, John Williams is a great composer, but he just wouldn't cut it if he tried to do the Doctor Who theme. He may seem more sophisticated with his music than Delia Derbyshire was, but she was fantastic at what she did, creating electronic music that could scare the pants of you.
They are both great composers so there's nothing to really complain about, their music is for people to enjoy, not to fight over.:tardis: :tardis:

Ooh. Well said. :D

Thank you, really, their music is great for the TV show/Film that they represent, and when they do that, then there's little point in arguing over it.

Danny Stewart August 8, 2006 12:46 PM

Yes, very valid point.

Why do you not like him? You must like him if you searched high and low for his extended theme. (which by the way eventually came from me :P) Or was it just to add to your collection?
