my entire childhood in one piece of music. Watching Dr. Who was a weekly routine, that was truly wonderful. Orbital remixing this timeless themetune is the perfect blend old meets new in the most amazing way!
Got that jolt discovering a CD of Edwin Astley's "Secret Agent" and "The Saint", expecting some mis-orchestrated drivel and took a chance -- and sure enough, it was all original tracks from the original series (Plus! The original theme from "The Avengers", which somehow got 'added-on'!) 'Found Orbital's cover of Ron Grainer's great "Dr. Who" theme some years ago; this performance is different, but just as fun.
Always felt Orbital should cover this tune - and when they did, they made it sound like it was always an Orbital tune!!! IMO, one of the best electronic / dance cover tunes EVER.
I remember this night like it was yesterday. A packed field, happy faces and Phil & Paul kickin' it large. I went to their last ever live performance at Maida Vale (R.I.P John Peel, you were a true gem), and there wasn't a dry eye in the house. Thanks Phil & Paul for giving us many memories of raves/clubs in the late 80's & early 90's, Glasto in the sun & rain, individual and progressive tracks like this, and head-mounted maglites. We will miss you, and thanks for the memories.
The first time I heard this was a revelation. Of course! It just made perfect sense. What a genius idea. The surprising thing is why no one ever did it before Orbital. I mean, the Dr Who theme is electronic music from the earliest era of "techno" - old old old old old skool!
My memory is abit fuzzy and I forgot what the jinn told me to run yesterday? Why have the real jins become antisemitic 😭 what happened to Kabal?😭 oh jinns don't want end of the world to happen The F face off with the duck lips orange pip was the logo of a coin waiting to be filed Clash of the Titans jinn scene Together!
Actually, it was written by Ron Grainer, and Delia Derbyshire and Dick Mills spliced bits of audio tape together to make the music. It's covered in an extra on one of the first two DVDs. (I got the box set and can't remember if it was Unearthly Child or The Daleks that had the extra.)
Big 7 donnor with kid pen in his mouth at the big fat Greek wedding to open what? To counter what pain? Where? When? How? Al tyre? 😂 he's looking at you kid 😂
This is one of the greatest auditory infractions in all of history. Inspired greatness, from the greatest, by the greatest, for the greatest. I wish I had found this on an album since time immemorial. But alas, I shall remain forever content knowing this is among me. Long live the great Dr.
iam big Delia Derbyshire and BBc radio phonic workshop fan for the the original she cut every note and part in this song from magnetic tape where recordings of the diffrent notes and keys was recorded . if the sound was 2 secounds long she cut out 2 secounds of the sound in the key she needed and mixed it all toghter with tape spilcing she is the master of the dr who theme try too see the alchemist of sound god movie abourt this techmic
Legends....watched these at liverpool mountford hall. Half raving my t*ts off, half telling my bro off for puking thru the last half of the gig...lightweight, since disowned..
I was there!! So drunk and emotional (it being the last Orbital gig in England), screaming uncontrollably. You can probably picture the scene. Still the best live band and the best track ever!
Don't condemn all live electronic music to 'press-play-and-jump-around'. Aint no law says electronic music is hands-off and 90% prepared earlier. NOTHING stopping musicians performing 100% hands-on, meaning if they suddenly lifted their hands, the music would turn to chaos, lose rhythm, or fall flat. You don't need a sequencer before it's "electronic music", that's just 1990s thinking. Electronic drums, synth, FX, instruments and machines played live by people can be electronic music too.
I really do like this sort of music. Many years ago I saw Tangerine Dream in a church in Germany. They were really busy keeping all the oscillators going, along with minimal tape back up. I can fully understand how atmospheric these concerts are. Also, having tried to make some of this type of music, I can now appreciate that putting it together is not as easy as one might think. I have some Chemical Brothers, Front 242 etc but I am old and in need of education on what to listen to!
orbital fueron el mejor concierto de musica elctronica ke nunca vi y luego los motormark, aunke pq les vi en una sala pekeña y super acogedora, fueron geniales.
Even more amazing than this track is the fact that samples were not harmed in the making of it! DW was a big influence on the brothers and it was a live treat for at least 6yrs before they had it put out on a record. Look at me with the facts, huh? Quality tune
Front 242 has a lot in trackers as well. Which doesn't mean they're not musicians. Especially in Orbital's case you could say they're more like the director of the symphony rather than the musicians. :)
Um... Or maybe more like composers. That's not easy. Even knowing the decks well doesn't equate to a soundscape of beats& tunes and melodies. Distortion. Loops and whatnot. This is composition my friend. It's a gift. Can't learn this. They are the original rave scene tunes too. Come on
My dad was here when mom was pregnant with me, and the deafening applause moment was when he came to the conclusion that the Whovian lives on. That was a relief, I'm now a Whovian myself
Love the inflatable Dalek at the end. Actually, I love everything about this. I saw them in NYC about 7 years ago. I was right up front, and at the end of the night, I screamed "DOCTOR WHO!" until they played it.
This was always used to be my Glasto close every year, would catch them performing this while walking across behind the crowd on my way to start work at midnight. Good stuff!
Orbital are the Paul and Phil Hartnoll - the first Dr Who was William Hartnoll, their grandfather. It's only fitting that his heirs should create their take on the finest piece of electronic music ever written... Orbital RIP
No wonder they arrested a journalist at insemintion tunnel as someone stole piglet beads and made them into something else as the tommy was firing blanks 😭
WOW! I was on a totally separate project, with this playlist running and i heard this and was a little confused, so i checked and then i see its Dr. Who as the main theme kicks in. I whish it had a bit more crash to it, but this is going strait to the favelist. If you want to check out my fave list, there are some 15oo marked vids from all kinds of places and people. Booya!
though ive been a fan of orbital 4 yeers i hadnt heard this track until i saw this vid do you ever have one of those songs stuck in your head for like a week ...
my entire childhood in one piece of music. Watching Dr. Who was a weekly routine, that was truly wonderful. Orbital remixing this timeless themetune is the perfect blend old meets new in the most amazing way!
Through out the years I always come back here.
We have Delia to thank for all this electronic music... pioneer of sound / techno since 1962.
Delia Smith?
@@izaak5273 No not The Smiths, Delia.
Moog
True💜
@@izaak5273 Delia Derbyshire. Google is your friend.
they did this tune justice... proper tune... love it.. goose bumps listening to it...
That day you randomly looked at the back of CD covers and saw track 7 "Doctor ?" and thought. "NAh, can't be... fuck it, I'm buying it!" And it IS!

I think I have their Maida Vale show on MP3 somewhere, definitely remember it being introduced by JP!

the group mankind did a fairly decent version of the theme tune back in the 70s
I was there. It was mind blowing.
me too.... it was special
Where is it from bro? :)
@@delerium101 ? How is it hard to believe I was there?
I wasn't 'here' so to speak but I saw this live in the boiler room iirc in about 2004 and remember that this performance gave me chills
Lucky you :) I was not there, but I still remember listening to this track first time on my PC around 2002, and it was still mind blowing :D
The Dr Who theme on Acid I adore this version it’s got such guts and vigour and punch
Watching this vid. My 6 yo sez "Mom, this is the beginning of Doctor Who". I am the proudest Mommy on Earth right now.
My memory is abit fuzzy and I forgot what the jinn told me to run yesterday? Why have the real jins become antisemitic 😭 what happened to Kabal?😭 oh jinns don't want end of the world to happen

Clash of the Titans jinn scene
Together!
Can't zip it in anymore the feather has gone from side action thats why happens when you beg to hard 😭
I've seen Orbital live a few times and the best dance act live. This song brings back some good memories. Thanx for the post :)
" 'old on a minute!". Classic.
This version right here! This is The One!
💫
It’s the version I keep coming back to.
Dr Who is very possibly the most timeless sounding TV-show theme ever.It must have sounded very futuristic in the 60's.Orbitals version is great too.
Haha that beachball at the end was a dalek, absolutely epic

Big 7 donnor with kid pen in his mouth at the big fat Greek wedding to open what? To counter what pain? Where? When? How? Al tyre? 😂 he's looking at you kid 😂
Wtf this is very very very beautiful
Whoa, reading the comments from "14 years ago" and they still sound actual. This is a great and timeless tune, greetings from 2021.
greetings from 17328
Love the way it segues into Chime at the end.
I wanted the video to continue....
This is one of the greatest auditory infractions in all of history.
Inspired greatness, from the greatest, by the greatest, for the greatest.
I wish I had found this on an album since time immemorial.
But alas, I shall remain forever content knowing this is among me.
Long live the great Dr.
I saw them perform this song about 5 feet away at a small venue in Denver back in 2001. I could have died a happy and content man that night.
I love the guy witha scarf
and his big hair.
this song captures it all and then some
Hartnell's voice...what a great doctor he was.
iam big Delia Derbyshire and BBc radio phonic workshop fan for the the original she cut every note and part in this song from magnetic tape where recordings of the diffrent notes and keys was recorded . if the sound was 2 secounds long she cut out 2 secounds of the sound in the key she needed and mixed it all toghter with tape spilcing she is the master of the dr who theme try too see the alchemist of sound god movie abourt this techmic
This is brilliant. The Dr Who theme always makes my hair stand on end anyway, something so...otherworldly about it...
I saw them last night in Leeds and they certainly did play it. Was the last tune before they went off.
I cant even express how awesome this song is
Legends....watched these at liverpool mountford hall. Half raving my t*ts off, half telling my bro off for puking thru the last half of the gig...lightweight, since disowned..
Another Saturday morning teaching my 9 month old son the joys of top quality music.
I was there!!
So drunk and emotional (it being the last Orbital gig in England), screaming uncontrollably. You can probably picture the scene.
Still the best live band and the best track ever!
This has to be one of the best live performances of any song, ever. Surely my favorite. Cheers!
Have you seen the Orbital video of 'Satan' live?
No prerecords. these guys know what they do and do it well.
Wonderful live performance! Look for the Audience 'tossing around the Dalek' at the end... I like think Ron Grainer would've given it a nod. :D
I was there I was peaking on mushrooms when this was on !! Truly mental felt like I was in a mental asylum based on the moon 🍄🌝🎇🌠
You start tripping and see William Hartnell telling you that speech right in front of you

Holy moly what happened here? A mole? 😭
no war just peace
I would kill a man to go back in time and watch this live.
completely agree and I'm fortunate enough to see them play live tomorrow night, cannot wait!
Wow you're such a genius.
Epic song.Awesome!

I was there for this, Amazing! So happy they are coming out of retirement!
awesome reworking of a british classic tv theme tune.
These guys are magic....if you like this one check the same track at dance valley in holland '01.
orbital fueron el mejor concierto de musica elctronica ke nunca vi

yesss mate
this live is sickk
Its on Live at Glastonbury: 1994 - 2004.
one looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong show
Even more amazing than this track is the fact that samples were not harmed in the making of it! DW was a big influence on the brothers and it was a live treat for at least 6yrs before they had it put out on a record. Look at me with the facts, huh? Quality tune
I loved them tossing the Dalek into the audience! Hilarious!
THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN . LOVE YA
Masterpiece
+blasorron 4 sure !!! MMMmmhhh :p
the best version of doctor who in modern era .

indeed u are a lucky man! wish I was there so see this live..superb guys.

was this 2001?
The Patronus 2004 mate
Love the inflatable Dalek at the end.

I hit the "Like" button so hard, TH-cam started bleeding...
That Inflatable dalek makes my life
Cool! And I love the crowd surfing Dalek at the end. LOL
I saw them at Loaded in the Park and agree they should have been on later but should have played for longer,they were brilliant mind.
I want another bong!!!!
FREAKING AWESOME!!!!
That's one awesome drop
7 years ago we called it break
Doctor who is my favorite show! Thanks for naming this after me! ;)
Excellent. When they mixed into Chime hairs on the back of my neck stood up!
Well worth "holding on for a minute"
Excellent

Absolutely greatest show on earth.

I was just about to say that your about 5 years to late but they just reformed. I need to go see them as well. Hoefully they do a tour in the us
FANTASTIC!!
If i remember rightly this was in glastonbury years ago. Amazing absolute genius
Orbital are the Paul and Phil Hartnoll - the first Dr Who was William Hartnoll, their grandfather. It's only fitting that his heirs should create their take on the finest piece of electronic music ever written... Orbital RIP
The surnames are different 'Hartnoll' and 'Hartnell'. Not related at all.
No wonder they arrested a journalist at insemintion tunnel as someone stole piglet beads and made them into something else as the tommy was firing blanks 😭
SPETTACOLO!!!
PEOPLE GOING APESHIT TO DR WHO
Who wouldn't ?
seen them at rockness unreal, what about that heaven is a place on earth remix only orbital could do it lol was amazing
love that tune
WOW! I was on a totally separate project, with this playlist running and i heard this and was a little confused, so i checked and then i see its Dr. Who as the main theme kicks in.

Great quality! =D Love Orbital
HEAVY VIBE!!! BACK IN THE DAY GREAT MEMORIES

though ive been a fan of orbital 4 yeers i hadnt heard this track until i saw this vid do you ever have one of those songs stuck in your head for like a week ...

Is this their glastonbury gig ? Did they have more than one at that venue ?
