As an early Christmas present, I thought I'd give you guys my Howell remix for next year.
Each year I get better at my remixing and the Howell theme shows this the best. You could almost say this title sequence is Christmassy couldn't you?
If you compare this to my previous remix, there are plenty changes and fixes. This theme is just too lovely and I can't help myself when it comes to remixing it!
If I hit 800, what do you guys suggest I do for it?
Again, I hope you guys enjoy this, and despite the fact I said my last upload would probably be the last for this year, rule #1 The Doctor lies!
I do not own the copyright for any of the samples used, I merely put them together for a better experience.

I remember as a kid in 1980 seeing this for the first time on "The Leisure Hive". I still remember my jaw hitting the floor in utter awe.... 40 years later in 2020 it STILL hasn't been beaten. And so glad 'my doctor' Tom Baker was the first to get it.

@Cornughon 3 года назад

I always wondered how it must have been getting see and hear this opening theme for the very first time, after years and years of the Derbyshire arrangement (which is a classic in it's own right ofcourse). I always imagined it must have been awesome! But then again, I'm a synthesizer/electronic music buff, so I'm probably a bit biased.

These fan remasters edits reimaginings are so fucking good. I was born in 2000 btw but got several rotd dvds as i meled 2 and half killed the 3rd replacement disk 😂

The CS-80's resonant Highpass filter and exceptionally gooey PWM make for that super-obese bassline. I've made the same patch on my CS-60 - the CS-80 doubles the number of oscillators, so I have to record mine twice to get the same result.

@XXSkunkWorksXX Год назад

Yamaha CS-80. What a version of DD's original - that opening and the **BOOM!!** at the end - all fabulous - but it's the second verse, or chorus I suppose where the notes go up octaves and I personally have never listened to a section of music that elevates my mood like that section of this theme. It's primal and it hits the same receptors in the brain that really, really good drugs do. A MASTERPIECE!

@philrob1978 Год назад

This is a brilliant treatment of this. That first opening few seconds of this just sends an electric pulse throughout my entire body. They didn't have to refresh the amazing original Delia Derbyshire creation, but Peter Howell absolutely knocked it out of the park. It retains the mystery, and to an entire generation it was the sound of Who. EDIT some days later - Don't stop - one day you'll think you've got it right. The reality is, you did get it right ages ago, yet you're still wanting to perfect it in any way you can - I applaud that, tis a good cause. :) Though, video wise, do pop Colin in there. He was The Doctor, whether you like it, or not! ;)

@The-Cosmic-Hobo 3 месяца назад

Absolutely amazing! You've improved on a masterpiece. :) Being born in the late 70's, Peter (The First) was "my Doctor", and this was "my theme". (And boy was I shocked in the late 80's when I saw a re-run of Tom's last season and this was "his" theme too!) I even had a cassette tape with Howell's theme looped, that I would listen to whilst going to sleep as a teen...

@andyonion3408 10 месяцев назад

Peter used the Yamaha CS80 and ARP Odyssey amongst others to realise this, plus effected sound snippets (like the sound of a match being struck) - in a time when digital sampling was very much in its infancy. All of this was done with analogue tape.

Using a Vocoder to sound like an overdriven Electric guitar but smoother is pretty genius. Howell and the Radiophonic workshop really made some magic with this version. That bass and the synth pads will always have a timeless charm, and changing the key was a nice touch too to give it that new feel

The original is of course iconic so to make a new version faces the challenge of meeting a very high standard that still stands the test of time. This is definitely the best revised version and it's worth playing loud, one of the best themes ever created.
