Real metal music

"For those who have ever seen the 60's Dr Who programs, they will know that aside from innovation in TV effects (people often forget that there was little to no no TV sci-fi in the 60's-80's, making Dr Who the innovator in 'how to do it'), but the music gets often overlooked. Here is a chance to appreciate the use of found sounds (playing off of a microphone stand) and synthesized sounds (the weird use of echoed drums and horns) that create the other-worldliness of the Tenth Planet. This is a short CD, clocking in at only 20 minutes, but tracks 3-5 are worth it alone."
First music for the Cybermen

"The tracks on this CD are apparently off of stock music that the BBC had available in the early 60's. (You can even hear that the CD is copied off of LP tracks because of the occasional pop, but only if you listen with earphones.) Some of the tracks were used in the "Tenth Planet" and subsequent Cybermen stories of the 60's, including "Tomb". The CD is short, as are the tracks, but it is a rare example of early music used in Who."
