Vashta Nerada [Doctor Who Theme] is Traffic Experiment's reworking of Ron Grainer and Delia Derbyshire's classic Doctor Who theme, featuring the vocals of the very lovely Harri Norris and recorded with producer George Shilling (of Bernard Butler, Blur, Porcupine Tree fame) at his Bank Cottage studio. TE's very good friend and videographer Rich Wakefield of FX Media filmed the recording and produced this video.
We've always been massive fans of the original piece of music and after debating 'what if Pink Floyd actually covered the Doctor Who Theme' (rather than just the One of These Days... references to it), and having watched the brilliant clip of Peter Howell recreating his version at the BBC, decided we'd do our own take on it. Vashta Nerada was the result and hopefully we've done Ron and Delia's original track justice (with plenty of Floyd and Doctor Who references thrown in for good measure).
The audio track is available to download for free as a high quality mp3 or FLAC file for our registered fans here (it's completely free to sign up - no spam, we promise!): www.trafficexpe...
If you enjoy this video then please feel free to share it with everyone and anyone. Thank you for listening and for supporting independent music.
Best wishes,

A massive thank you for pkaying dr who as it should always have been.

@TrafficexperimentNet 8 лет назад

+Steve Callum Thanks Steve. Really appreciate your kind comments. We tried hard to keep some of that atmosphere from the earlier versions while still making it different. My introduction to Doctor Who was during the Peter Davison era so Peter Howell's version is the one that haunts my childhood memories (though all the prior ones are brilliant too) and that's why there's a few nods to that particular version in this. Stuart (TE).
