\"\"<\/a>Just uploaded is a pair of Doctor Who soundtrack albums from Silva Screen, recently issued as digital albums as teasing tasters for the 11-disc ultimate set that\u2019s due soon from the label.<\/p>\n

Silva mined the BBC archives for a huge array of music which will come packaged in a wooden Tardis box. Who wouldn\u2019t want this<\/a> on their mantle?<\/p>\n

Reviewed are Roger Limb\u2019s full score for Doctor Who: The Caves of Androzani<\/a><\/strong> [M<\/a>] (1984) and Silva\u2019s 2-disc distillation of their 4-disc Doctor Who: 50th Anniversary Collection<\/a><\/strong> [M<\/a>] edition. I\u2019ll have another set of soundtrack reviews shortly, but first some site related news.<\/p>\n

Beginning tomorrow (Thursday December 12), content will only be uploaded to the mobile site, which itself will undergo some overhauls as I settle on a theme that can carry more info than the mobile edition. The original site at www.kqek.com<\/a> is all html \u2013 there is no php involved \u2013 which was a decision based on time and money; the mobile edition was created for portable devices which weren\u2019t as adept in loading heavy visual details.<\/p>\n

In short, both designs are old, weary, and absurdly time-consuming. I think I detailed the insane tasks involved to manage both sites in a prior blog (itself another endeavor) and with filmmaking and experimenting now important activities, there\u2019s simply no need to display the same content on two sites. The original concept wasn\u2019t dumb, but where things are now, there\u2019s far too many redundancies.<\/p>\n

Moreover, as the doc \u2013 BSV 1172<\/strong> – does the festival rounds, I\u2019ll be busy crafting related materials \u2013 featurettes and related shorts on vintage gear \u2013 plus slowly assembling the necessaries for a DVD release, in addition to covering home video and soundtrack reviews.<\/p>\n

So things will shift in specific stages. All new reviews will appear only on the mobile site beginning tomorrow, and the use of \u201c[M]\u201d to denote mobile versions will disappear; when you see a linked review, it\u2019ll go straight to the mobile site.<\/p>\n

Like The DigitalBits (who did a huge site overhaul this year), I\u2019ll keep the old site on the server so that content never disappears. (Besides, the idea of re-pasting new links into 1500+ IMDB film reviews and 500+ soundtrack reviews at the IMDB and www.soundtrackcollector.com<\/a> isn\u2019t a fun thought.)<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve a few additional shorts to complete in December – January, after which I\u2019ll overhaul the mobile site using a nicer, cleaner, and hopefully easier to update Word Press theme.<\/p>\n

Coming next:<\/em> Love is a Many-Splendored Thing<\/strong> and Brian De Palma\u2019s Body Double<\/strong> on Blu-ray from Twilight Time.<\/p>\n
