Some fine Doctor Who work from Brian Hodgson gets a CD release in May. Here's Andrew's review of the soundtrack to The Krotons...
Brian Hodgson: inventor of the Tardis dematerialisation noise (included on this disc), techbod for the original Dalek voices, and ambient soundscape purveyor to the stars. His legacy lives on in the current iteration of the Radiophonic Workshop, and restoration work by Mark Ayres. YouTube footage of a 'reunion gig' from 2009 can and should be searched for.
For those who aren't curious about the legacy of an old BBC department, old Doctor Who soundtracks are more useful than you might think. Trust me, you haven't Laserquested until you've laserquested to the soundtrack of Caves Of Androzani, and also acknowledged that 'Laserquested' is definitely a word.

Whispered sweet words in my wife's ear – strange again, I couldn't hear the beautiful sound of harps trilling in the background. And stranger still, when I tripped over in the street, I didn't once hear silly whaa-whaa-whaaaaa comedy music. Just deafening laughter from passers by.
