A Man of Wealth and Taste

[anadapta0801.livejournal.com]

The Big Finish Unbound, Sympathy for the Devil, does not have quite as much love as it deserves. Of course it has its flaws, but it also has David Tennant being Angry and Scottish, David Warner doing more than he ever did in Twin Peaks, and of course Gatiss!Master doing what a Gatiss!Master does best. This has one of those things.

Rec: Fanmix: Our Brightest Minds

[darklyenigmatic.livejournal.com]

Pairing: Doctor/Master
Length: 1 hour 18 minutes
Warnings: Some swearing
Maker on LJ (or Teaspoon, or Prydonian):birdsarecalling  

Why this must be listened to:

Fanmixes, in general, have one flaw, and that's that the makers listen to the lyrics, and how they flow from one song to the next, and what sort of story they create, but not whether the actual music flows well from one piece to the next. Our Brightest Minds does not have this problem, not in the least. And, not only do the songs flow into each other as if they were made to, the fanmix in itself has a coherency and general tone that is all too often missing. Another major bonus: there are no songs that I dislike on it, and those I wasn't originally too sure of grew on me as I listened to them in the context of the rest. Naturally, everyone has different musical tastes, but seriously, please, assuming you don't happen to loathe every song/artist on it, listen. The music, the lyrics, the way they all fit together, perfectly match the Doctor/Master relationship, and who knows? It may well inspire you to write; I know it did for me. I've downloaded a great number of fanmixes (almost exclusively D/M), and this is the only one that's truly captured me. For a hint about how much I enjoyed it: I listened to it on repeat on a 7 hour journey to England, and then again back home. I listened to it on repeat on 17 hour journey to France, and then on the return trip. And I still keep hearing new lines or phrases of music that make me go 'Oooh, yes', or wibble, depending. That's the mark of a good album, never mind a good fanmix.

Excerpt:

6. Terrible Light - Secret Machines
There was a glorious fire
It gave a terrible light
Flashing in each other's eyes
Was the burning of our designs
