    Vashta Nerada [Doctor Who Theme] is Traffic Experiment's reworking of Ron Grainer and Delia Derbyshire's classic Doctor Who theme, featuring the vocals of the very lovely Harri Norris and recorded with producer George Shilling (of Bernard Butler, Blur, Porcupine Tree fame) at his Bank Cottage studio. TE's very good friend and videographer Rich Wakefield of FX Media filmed the recording and produced this video.
    We've always been massive fans of the original piece of music and after debating 'what if Pink Floyd actually covered the Doctor Who Theme' (rather than just the One of These Days... references to it), and having watched the brilliant clip of Peter Howell recreating his version at the BBC, decided we'd do our own take on it. Vashta Nerada was the result and hopefully we've done Ron and Delia's original track justice (with plenty of Floyd and Doctor Who references thrown in for good measure).

    Sounds like a mix between Pink Floyd and Doctor Who! I love it!

    This has to be the greatest version ever! It just makes the soul sing! You have made this dr Who fan very very happy by producing this difinitive version. This would be great if they ever did a stage rock musical version of Dr who which would be awesome I think. Truly amazing guys!
