Robinski Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Ah, well, that depends. I guess if it's who, I'm not going to get it, but I'm sure the guy worked for the BBC Radiophonic(?) Workshop, who did all the sound effects for Doctor Who and a bunch of other shows. Not sure if they still exist - probably called something else and part of some multi-media department. So, if it was a collaborative effort, the BBC-RW, if it's the principal who is credited, I don't remember. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd tell you to go watch an episode's credits, 'cause it says who wrote the original (not the rearrangement they use now) there, but that would be looking it up, so... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ookla the Absent Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) LOL - I'm waiting for the 'Name 20 Rush albums' round. What would your specialist subject be? I'm not sure I could do that without looking it up... I'd accidentally glance to the side of my computer and see them all. I don't specialize, I just either know something or I don't. Marvel and Dr. Who are both "don't"'s. Spaniard/Italian/Portuguese explorers? Loyalties and betrayals on Hurt/Heal?

Robinski Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) Hey Slowswift, how long do you wait until no-one answers your question and you move on? Also, I see that the RW people arranged the music as well - very interesting to read how they created it.

Ookla the Absent Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 RE:Rush I didn't know about Archives. Do you count 5th Order of Angels, or are bootlegs not included? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinski Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 I wasn't counting bootlegs, which I'm not familiar with. I missed Presto, Vapor Trails and Different Stages (doh!), and they have a couple more collections that I didn't remember. Ho hum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
