Mark Ayres’ dark and mysterious synth score to Ghost Light,
Marc Platt’s 3-part TV series with Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh
Doctor, will be released on 180g DLP vinyl for the first time. Pre-order HERE.
Composer
Ayres says, “This newly-remastered release presents the score in story
order and is compiled from new transfers of the original analogue stereo
master tapes. Consecutive cues have been combined into longer tracks.
It is a particular delight to hear this music on vinyl. It was some of
the last work I mixed to analogue 1/4” tape before digital took over,
and suits the medium well. It also allows me to dedicate a side to each
episode, keeping the cliff-hangers and reprises intact…plus the original
demo version of Episode 1 on side 4.”
