Another 1989 Doctor Who story scored by Mark Ayres, this music follows closely the synth-symphonic style of Curse Of Fenric, though the shadows are cast at a different angle. That’s an oblique way of saying that both discs contain very dark music settings, but this one relies on different elements than Fenric. Where Fenric‘s style owes a little something to the John Williams school of film music, Ghost Light‘s music is more eerie and horrific, depending on primitive percussion samples, unearthly sounds, and a lot of pipe organ and choral samples. If anything, Ghost Light is more operatic and depends more on mood and suspense than all-out action. Both have merited addition to the Damn Near Perfect Album List.
