5 stars for RARE track + 1 star for the rest (crap) = 3 star.......2004-07-22

As far as I can tell, this is the ONLY CD you will find the amazing Dominic Glynn version of the Doctor Who title from season 23 (1986/"the Trial of a Time Lord"). For that alone it is worth having. Just be warned - audio quality is not the best and the rest of the CD contains some of the worst music from one of the worst seasons of the program ever- season 24 (1987). Still, if you, like me, consider this to be the 6th Doctor's definitive theme (like the 1980-1985 for the 5th - even with the overlaps) and you like Glynn's colourful, boisterous, POP-y, rubb-dubb-dubb version, then it is worth having the CD for only the one unique, terrific track. A must for real fans and collectors. Otherwise... forget it. The rest truly is abysmal crap. (The other reviewers were NOT joking or being overly critical - lol).

For Keff Lovers only.......2001-08-06

Released as the 25th Anniversary CD, it is incredibly underrated. It's just a shame more fans don't enjoy Keff McCullogh's wonderful scores to Doctor Who. It might possibly be that most of the tracks are taken from the 24th season of the show, and possibly one of the most unpopular seasons, so fans are gonna quibble about this one. I've gotten a lot of enjoyment from this CD, but it's a shame that there isn't more tracks from the 25th season, which this CD is supposed to commemorate, which is odd, and more tracks from "Time and the Rani", one of McCullogh's best soundtracks. Even if this isn't for you, "8891 Overture" is worth a listen....
This review is for the original release of the CD.

Evolution Not Up To Specs.......1999-10-28

True that the 25th Anniversary album this was taken from is a good album, but whoever the idiot was who re-recorded it destroyed it. It was recorded to CD too fast. None of the tracks have the original quality. Notes are too high and it all zips together too fast. If you want a CD version of the 25th Anniversary album, this is better than nothing, but don't expect the same quality.

Buy this only if you have the time/equipment to remaster it........1999-03-26

Whoever mastered this CD was an idiot - read why I think so:This CD came very late. Once I got it, the first thing I noticed was that ALL of the tracks sounded funny. Funny how? The pitch and tempo were shifted upwards slightly. Enough to make all the music sound awful. Such a pity too, because it has the "Trial of a Timelord" Doctor Who theme (my favorite, not found anywhere else I know of so far) and numerous tracks from "Delta and the Bannermen" (also a favorite of mine).My theory: the DAT was put to CD without converting the sampling rate from 48,000Hz down to CD Audio 44,100Hz. My solution was to rip all the audio from the CD, save as WAV file, resample at the proper rates (time consuming on 30MB files) and recreate the CD on my CD-RW drive.As I said... don't buy this CD unless you have the time and resources to make it enjoyable. It'll cost you a CD-R Drive, a CD-R and probably six hours.How embarrasing for the person who put this CD together.

Utter rubbish.......1999-03-23

This is a collection of perhaps the worst ever music heard on the tv series Doctor Who. Why it was ever released in the first place is a mystery itself - as for why it was re-issued, who knows. There are a few redeeming tracks from Dominic Glynn, but practically all of Keff McCulloch's work here is pure elevator music. Not an album to play to impress a prospective romantic partner...
