Compiled, mastered and produced by Mark Ayres. The cover is newly commissioned from Clay Hickman.

A pioneer in the field of electronic music, Tristram Cary served as a wartime naval officer specialising in radar and electronics. He combined a career at the cutting edge of experimental music with works for cinema (The Ladykillers), television and radio.

Together with Peter Zinovieff and David Cockerell, Cary was one of the founders of EMS, the company behind classic VCS3 and Synthi 100 synthesisers, which he helped design.

The Daleks made their debut in Doctor Who just before Christmas 1963 and Cary’s music was composed to script as a number of atmospheric pieces for specific scenes and situations.

      no the “back catalogue” of music was licensed for use on commercials/ TV documentaries etc didn’t effect soundtrack releases

    These look nice! More soundtracks from Silva Screen! This proves that they obviously still think there’s plenty of money in Doctor Who soundtracks,
