I was hoping to be able to go back to the masters of my music and remix them a bit for you, but I can't find them right now, so I'll send an existing mix instead.

This first track is a called "Breakbeats in Time and Space" and is a dance-y version of the theme, with some funny (I thought) samples from a Blue Peter phone-in. All the music is made from scratch using my PC, a Yamaha AN1X and the Hammerhead drum looper. I think I got as close to the original "wooo" sound as I could without having racks of wall mounted valve oscillators! There is a small melancholy intro, done in a similar style to 70s Pink Floyd. The only samples I've used are one of the TARDIS and the phone call, obviously.

A 12" version of this mix, without the vocal samples, can be found here.

Great! Real scary and a good dance beat, making a surreal effect.

Good beats. I would eq the voice samples to fit in the mix better

Always liked this mix, and always wanted it with out the voice track,
you said youd mix it that way if enough folks asked, well we're asking ']['

Hey Tarquin, I did do that mix already, and it was actually given to DAMFilms for one of their productions. As I mentioned, however, I've mislaid the masters so I'm unable to recreate the mix again for this site. One day they'll reappear and then I'll do it! :-)

I have the 12-inch remix of the music in question, if anyone is interested...

- Me (2004.09.30 00:04)

If Howard at Floorten ok's it then please include the 12-inch remix on this site! I'd love to hear it. Love this theme!

- neil c (2004.09.30 10:04)

By all means! Please email it to me and I'll submit it. Thanks!

I brilliant blend of 60's melody line and modern dance! Personally (like others) I'd like to hear the mix without the sampled vocals. This has a certain 'grittiness' and power that I'd like the new series theme to have.

loved it!

- Adam Manning (2004.10.04 11:59)

Totally excellent!!!!!!!!!! heard the 12" version today. It was better than I imagined! really do love this version of the theme! thanks floorten!

- neil c (2004.10.05 10:16)

It brings back old memories hearing this, both with voice and without. I love this theme from Howard. Then again I've quite liked all his themes.

- David Nagel [DAM Films] (2004.10.08 06:24)

Never heard this without the voice samples, Howard, and it's still really lovely. That slow, Pink Floydy intro always sexes me up!

- Peter Wicks (2004.10.08 09:39)

Roast my Toast! That theme is one mad hap'nin beat, yo! Word up! It's round the bend and out the other end!! Swish!

- Daniel Burnett (2004.10.08 22:53)

I think the bass is just what the new series is looking for. If the melody was spiced up just a little bit more it would be my choice for DW05

- Deanstructor (2004.11.30 11:42)

Nice!

Very good

- Traneei Who (2004.12.03 07:13)

Absolutetly delicious. Not overcluttered, but thoroughly entertaining.
