The xylophone at 48:00 is brilliant! The time and effort you put into these is so much appreciated. This is perfect background music for my working day, and occasionally I am jolted to attention by something really special. The Paris music is glorious, and the Howell/Nimon stuff is very arresting and powerful. Thank you for these. Keep em coming!

Wait, the Destiny of the Daleks Suite has more music than in the actual broadcast story? Where is this from? We know Simpson did compose a whole lot more music for Destiny (just looking at the PasB notes shows this) but director Ken Grieve decided not to use it. I doubt Simpson’s original music tapes for Destiny would exist (unless more tapes have been found) so where is the music in the suite from? Is it newly recorded material for The Season 17 Collection set? Simpson’s original music sheets would probably exist so recreating it wouldn’t be too hard?
