Doctor Who Series 9 Soundtrack
Please note if you want the limited edition set please enquire about availability with your chosen retailer before ordering.
Available to order from www.amazon.co.uk (Includes Autorip)
Premiering in September 2015, the ninth series of Doctor Who featured Peter Capaldi in the title role in his sophomore season as television’s favourite time traveller. This all encompassing four part collection features general cues on discs one and two, the complete score from the episode Heaven Sent on disc three and on disc four the Christmas Special, The Husbands Of River Song.
Five time BAFTA nominee Murray Gold recently confirmed that he is stepping down from composer duties on the show after 12 years of providing some of the finest music to be heard on contemporary television. This is also the 12th Silva Screen release of his music from the 2005 revival onwards and underlines the breadth of Gold’s composing skill across over two and a half hours of music.

It’s one of the last great morality tales out there but it also celebrates life. For that reason I think it’s a great show for kids. I couldn’t write this much music for it if I didn’t feel that way.” – Murray Gold
The Living Shadow
April 6th, 2018 - 11:59amYes! Prieviews! This is what I’ve been waiting for! …well apart from the album itself, but still, I’m very excited!
The Living Shadow
April 6th, 2018 - 12:00pmI’m so excited that I spelt previews wrong…
alex
April 6th, 2018 - 10:54ambooboo ordered this on Amazon on day it was put up. do you think it’s likely I’ll receive the limited edition version.
booboo
April 6th, 2018 - 10:58amit should be but its a pity they dont make things clearer
alex
April 6th, 2018 - 11:05amYeah I agree, would you also think that it will offer the autorip feature upon release
booboo
April 6th, 2018 - 11:07amnot sure on that
timelord327
April 6th, 2018 - 6:34amThe previews are on iTunes

April 6th, 2018 - 6:44amMy god, it sounds AMAZING!!!
John Baker
April 5th, 2018 - 1:40pmI honestly think after 2 and a half years they could have done something better
gave Heaven Sent and hell bent a disc to themselves both have great music
And the rock theme,

timelord327
April 4th, 2018 - 2:30pmFeels like there could have been another ten minutes from Hell Bent
StarFox
April 4th, 2018 - 11:49pmWhen comparing the episode rip times, it seems like the Singing Towers May omit the “Madman With A Box” part when River was upset. Are you able to confirm that? In the rip the theme starts around 2:45.
Adam
April 5th, 2018 - 8:51am@ timelord327: I know, right?! Disc 2 so much shorter than Disc 1 – they could easily have put WAY more on there!
timelord327
April 5th, 2018 - 9:37amWell, when you add the times together, there’s only four more minutes on Disc 1, although they are both short compared to other soundtracks.
Adam
April 5th, 2018 - 10:47amTo be honest, I hadn’t even looked at that. There just seems to be so much of the best music missing – bit of a let-down after such an annoyingly long wait.
alex
April 4th, 2018 - 11:37amwell those tracks times confirm the absence of a good man variations in TWF as well as possibly the variations of the doctors theme in HB. Yet there is a 5 minute suite dedicated to sleep no more….. an episode that had no music in it…..
Ash
April 4th, 2018 - 11:49amI’m hopeful ‘Davros Approaches’ will include all the music when the Doctor is in Davros’ chair. If so, that could mean the nice choral version of ‘A Good Man’. We’ll have to see. ‘Back Home’ will possibly have the initial variation of ‘The Doctor’s Theme’ from Hell Bent, seems quite likely I think. Seems like the more militaristic version a bit later on won’t be on there, when the army turns on Rassilon, won’t be though. It is a bit strange that Sleep No More has a five minute track, but there was some good ambient and atmospheric stuff in there during key moments so hopefully it’ll include that, or maybe it’ll be something else?
alex
April 4th, 2018 - 11:59amPossibly yes. I just don’t really understand why they decided to leave out those tracks as they were some of best bits from series 9 imo. I suppose the only hope we have is them being released as bonus tracks on ITunes maybe? from past experience with those are they usually announced with the Track list or saved till it appears on ITunes?
Ash
April 4th, 2018 - 12:11pmThat is a possibility, but I can remember the iTunes exclusive tracks for Series 7 were announced along with the full list of tracks. It’s not looking likely that there’ll be any at this stage. Some of the omissions for this series have been quite surprising. I didn’t realise at first that there was only one track from The Witch’s Familiar, it is a shame there isn’t more. Still looking forward to listening to the full soundtrack though.
timelord327
April 4th, 2018 - 12:44pmApparently it’s a track that didn’t feature in Sleep No More, but written for it
John Baker
April 4th, 2018 - 1:06pmYes no rock theme, no rock clara’s theme
Just a track from an episode, THAT HAD NO MUSIC!
John Baker
April 4th, 2018 - 1:08pmMaybe the song, is A Mr. Sandman variation
I would love that
alex
April 4th, 2018 - 1:31pmbeen using that shazam app to compare with rips from episodes and doesn’t look like any of the doctor themes are on the ost
EndlessTimelord
April 4th, 2018 - 3:57pm“Finding the Doctor” could possibly be one of the A Good Man Variants
alex
April 4th, 2018 - 4:15pmI think it is yes but the notable ones like consider the doctor and the vocal version as well as mercy is missing. and as for hell bent all the doctor themes seem absent. it’s just after w years your would think all the best bits would be on there
Adam
April 5th, 2018 - 8:58amI’m holding out hope that the rock version of Clara’s Theme might be an iTunes bonus. Easily one of the best pieces from Series 9 and it’s even an actual PLOT POINT of its episode – so how they can possibly leave that out is truly beyond me. You’re right, you’d think after such a long wait (for no apparent reason it seems) that they’d have made a better selection. Disc 2 is so much weirdly shorter than Disc 1 – they could easily have squeezed more onto it.
John Baker
April 5th, 2018 - 1:37pmAlso the rock theme
They better have bonus tracks or I am not buying
alex
April 5th, 2018 - 1:43pmI asked Silva screen and they said there isn’t any bonus tracks
Big Bang Two
April 5th, 2018 - 11:18pmClara’s guitar theme is on there. It’s Clara’s Diner.
Adam
April 6th, 2018 - 6:17pm@ Big Bang Two
Yeah I’ve just heard the preview! SO MUCH HAPPIER NOW! I take it all back (well, most of it)
Ash
April 4th, 2018 - 11:27amI believe iTunes previews usually go up about three weeks before release (this was the case with previous soundtracks anyway) so I’m hoping we can expect something on Friday possibly. Silva Screen also used to put up a full track on their YouTube channel shortly before release as well (last time it was ‘The Majestic Tale (Of An Idiot With a Box)’). I wonder if they’ll do it again with this, and what track it’ll be.
Doctor Mysterio
April 4th, 2018 - 5:12amThat cover is almost a mishmash of logos, and none of them Capaldi’s…
Pip’s Plinth
April 4th, 2018 - 7:38amThere is only one logo on it? Not exactly a ‘mishmash of logos’ if you don’t mind me saying.
alex
April 3rd, 2018 - 10:47pmBooboo have you listened to the promo album you got? are there any glaring omissions like the track list suggests or are they in suites?
booboo
April 4th, 2018 - 7:30amnot had time to go through it will try today
Dominic
April 2nd, 2018 - 10:25pmWhen do you think they’ll be previews booboo?
booboo
April 3rd, 2018 - 8:24amnot sure how far in advance they get the samples dont think it will be long though
booboo
April 3rd, 2018 - 12:59pmjust received the promo album so shouldn’t be long before samples are around
alex
April 3rd, 2018 - 1:25pmwait you get a promo album? noice. I’m guessing alot is missing from TWF as we expected and isn’t in a suite?
Jordan Symmons
April 2nd, 2018 - 7:05pmdo you know when we would have some examples tracks to listen too
Jordan Symmons
April 2nd, 2018 - 11:32amHi Would this be available to buy in HMV or itunes
booboo
April 2nd, 2018 - 11:38ambound to be on itunes eventually, assume HMV might stock it some stage they have the others
Jordan symmons
April 1st, 2018 - 3:06pmWould this be available to buy in HMV or itunes
Reece
March 31st, 2018 - 9:17pmjust realised it doesn’t have the ‘Before The Flood’ Capaldi on guitar version of the theme. Big shame.
timelord327
April 2nd, 2018 - 7:11pmI wonder if that’ll be on the end of The Bootstrap Paradox
100,000 BC
April 4th, 2018 - 2:10pmIt’s worth noting that extra fees have to be paid for the use of the Doctor Who theme. It’s not owned by Murray Gold/the BBC/Silva Screen.
alex
March 31st, 2018 - 4:35pmthis may have already been asked or answered but when should we expect previews? nearer the week of release or like next week?
Dalekparadigm2
March 31st, 2018 - 1:57pmHadn’t noticed the logo was the new one. I love the look of it and it goes with everything. It also takes up less space
Haza14
March 31st, 2018 - 12:47amDo you think you’ll be guaranteed to get the limited edition version if you preorder through Amazon?
Just asking because the P&P to by through SilvaScreen seems a lot!

Jordan symmons
March 30th, 2018 - 3:49pmHi would they be putting a playlist to listen too at sometime
booboo
March 30th, 2018 - 4:00pmi expect they will
alex
March 30th, 2018 - 10:58amI assume the one that has been put up on Amazon is the limited addition version? Also am I right in saying that if you order it on Amazon you also get the digital version as well?
Anonymous
March 30th, 2018 - 11:40amThat’s only if autorip is stated.
booboo
March 30th, 2018 - 11:49amcant see the autorip at this stage, in the past the first batch have been the limited edition copies but its never stated that on amazon, assume when they run out it goes to the standard box set
Ash
March 30th, 2018 - 10:30amI must say, I was surprised to see the Heaven Sent disc come in at only 14 tracks, but it’s possible some of the tracks could be little suites of music from the episode. We’ll get a good idea when the track times and previews roll round. One notable omission from the track list at this stage seems to be the music from the TARDIS scenes when the Doctor falls from the castle. It’s possible that this could form part of either track 3 or 4 though. Like I said, the previews and track times will give us an idea. The bulk of the episode’s music appears to be on here, so that’s promising. I’m excited to hear ‘The Shepherd’s Boy’ (or ‘Breaking the Wall’ as it was known; surprised to see them rename it but hey ho) in full, but some of the lesser known pieces are exciting too, such as that lovely little synth piece when the Doctor sees the painting of Clara (‘A Fly on a Painting’ surely), and also when the Doctor finds Room 12 too (hopefully part of ‘Two Events in Life’) – that’s a great little piece.
timelord327
March 30th, 2018 - 12:28pmWatched Heaven Sent last night to check against the track list, and I’ve got a feeling that when he jumps out of the castle will be featured at the end of A Fly on a Painting, as the synthy part isn’t that long, and seems to flow quite nicely into it.
Philip
March 31st, 2018 - 9:48amIf the score was completely throughout ‘Heaven sent’ that would only be about 45 mins of music plus the theme tune at either end, that leaves about 30 minutes on the cd for other scores, what a waste. Would have been better to have both ‘Heaven sent’ and ‘Hell Bent’ on the one disc.
100,000 BC
April 4th, 2018 - 1:49pmTotals 42 minutes, 16 seconds according to the track times.
Martin Snowden
March 30th, 2018 - 9:07amJust a little sad they don’t have the electric guitar version of the Doctor Who theme from the 04th (05th including ‘Last Christmas’) ‘Before the Flood’…
Anonymous
March 30th, 2018 - 9:12amIt could be included on the track bootstrap paradox as that lead directly into it in the series.

Waterloo Curve
March 29th, 2018 - 6:13amThe music and the episode go together, listening in isolation does not work for me.
Radocto
March 29th, 2018 - 8:43pmDon’t buy it then @.@
Dominic
March 28th, 2018 - 11:11pmSo happy we’ve got a release date! But I must admit, I am a bit (or a lot) disappointed that #ThePlanesHaveStopped and the Skaro (The Dark and Endless Dalek Night) variation isn’t included in the soundtrack. And I’m hoping that Disc 2 only has 14 tracks on is just a time limit thing. I know Disc 3 & 4 only have 14 too, but they’re based on one episode (each).
Adam
March 29th, 2018 - 7:27amI know, right? I was hoping for the Doctor’s guitar rendition of Clara’s theme, but it doesn’t look like it’s gonna be on there. I mean, that was actually plot point and they STILL didn’t include it!
Colin
March 29th, 2018 - 7:43amI was always disappointed they never included tennants defeat of the flood back on waters of mars. Tons of Cool tracks get missed
Philip
March 29th, 2018 - 8:45amHere’s hoping that as a last hurrah after series 10 is released they do a ‘previously not released’ collection for all the season so far.
Dominic
March 29th, 2018 - 4:59pmYeah. I’m hoping that Clara’s Diner has the guitar version of Clara’s theme included in it. They should do a previously not released collection.
WhoKnows?
March 28th, 2018 - 11:10pmWill they be releasing song previews for this one do you think?
The Doctor
March 29th, 2018 - 1:23amThey’ll be uploading it over to Amazon for digital download sales and Amazon usually put up a preview section on their site. I hate them though, they drive me mad. You get just enough to get you interested then it cuts out!! :’)
Can’t say when that’d be since it’s not yet even up for pre-order on Amazon yet.
James A
March 28th, 2018 - 9:51pmStill think it should use the S8-10 logo but okay.
