Absolutely Freakin' WOW. As a lover of Dr. Who and Jean Michel Jarre, this is a fantastic mix of a great theme, and the ever so often second part of the theme makes my senses tingle with joy. Thanks so much. More, More, More x
...we have a runner-up for my fave! You're good, man. As you probably know, when John Nathan-Turner took over as producer, he used JMJ as an example of the direction he wanted the music to go.
These versions of Doctor Who Themes are very very cool. Other ideas, if you're interested, and you have time... Chemical Brothers, Aphex Twin, Daft Punk, Skrillex, Harold Faltermeyer. Also versions of the Terminator Theme would be interesting.
I regret not having found out about this before... but I'm glad I did. I've been listening to all your versions so far, and all -i can say is.. You are a genius. Respect from Chile!
For the longest time I honestly thought he already had (seriously, how can anybody listen to the fantastic Sylvester McCoy era theme and not think of JMJ)?
you know I actually wouldn't mind if jean Michel jarre did do a doctorwho theme. as honestly just from hearing this it gives an idea of what it could sound like, and what with me having been a fan of jmj for most of my young life into my 20s I still even now love his music. and I think he would do an absolute smashing job at create a doctor who theme
Oh absolutely, as I get older the more I get bored of Murray Gold's takes on the theme. Someone like Jarre would do a wonderfully alien sounding arrangment. I've always said that, much like the opening titles should look like you're tripping balls, the Doctor Who theme should sound like you've accidentally tuned into an alien radio station.
GeorgeCMusic i agree mate I mean I liked how the original programs began i.e with the time vortex and the doctors faces in the middle. now if they could do that and have Jarre do a theme to it.. I think that would be great!
+GeorgeCMusic To be honest we might as well just start a petition to make this the theme Murray gold is just dull with that ridiculous fanfare that drowns the baseline
@@ssp6186 I think it actually kind of worked, especially for the reboot which was a very triumphant period in the history of the show, especially with the Derbyshire stems in there. However, yeah, it's time for a real alien-sounding theme again, which I think we're definitely going towards, especially with Akinola's version.
Very nicely put together, a thumbs up from me. I'll be picking up the new Jarre album this weekend, I've read some great reviews on it. Nice touch with the 'Magnetic Fields' Doctor/Tom at the end too.
Apparently Andrew Cartmel stated that Jarre was considered to compose an arrangement of the _Doctor Who_ theme for Season 27, but this plan was dropped when the show was cancelled at the end of Season 26. I'd say this is a pretty good way of imagining what could have been.
i like this, much like i enjoyed the "in the style of vangelis" version, and who is next to put a spin on Ron Grainer's eerie dr who theme, i wish it to be Gary Numan, circa Tubeway army years to his awesome album of telekon.
Its good how you kept it very Analog sounding without over emphasising the Doctors them and making a good Hybrid of both Artists. Excellent and very clever.
This "What if JMJ?" interpretation of the theme actually sounds believable, I could picture it being in the actual show during the late Tom Baker- Peter Davidson era. Since people are asking for different interpretations of the theme, I start to wonder "What if Paul Hardcastle did a Doctor Who theme?"
BBC this has just got to be used on Dr Who, this as the theme and David tennant back as the Dr, I may just watch it again!!!!!! Never watched it since he left!!!!!!
When I first heard this soundtrack (with no video or artist attribution) I thought: OMG, has Jarre recorded his interpretation of the Doctor Who theme? It’s an awesome job.
Sounds like there's a bit of "Good Vibrations" in there as well; the Beach Boys may have used similar instruments as this song was released not long after Doctor Who...
Wasn't convinced by your Vangelis cover, I didn't think it sounded Vangelis-y at all. ;) This, however, almost sounds like something Jarre could have done. :)
This theme would have suited the later Tom Baker years with the Howell theme being introduced with Peter Davison... I like the Oxygene references especially noticeable just before the Middle 8.
What if Dali/Manish & Daria Kawashima (the people who did the original Sailor Moon theme) did a Doctor Who theme..? Strangely this could be interesting since I found the Doctor Who theme, particularly the McCoy-era version, matches well with the Sailor Moon opening title sequence when it's the same length.
Of all the themes, I think this one is the most effective (or closest to what I would consider that musician to have accomplished). The others are pretty close, but there are a few notes or sections that seem "off".
I am enjoying this series of takes on the Doctor Who theme. What if Tomita did a Doctor Who theme? What if Wendy Carlos did a Doctor Who Theme? What if John Williams did a Doctor Who theme?
Apparently JMJ himself has said in interviews that one of his earliest inspirations was the Doctor Who theme.
If you can find the citation for this it would be awesome!!!
Funny, several of those kinds of bands were inspired by Doctor Who, such as Pink Floyd.
@@everettrailfan
Small world, I wonder what a Pink Floyd cover for Doctor Who would sound like🤔
@@marsandcobblesproductions3501 I mean, they've at least referenced the theme in a few of their songs.
@@everettrailfan
I wonder what Ultravox version would sound like if they'd do one?
Absolutely Freakin' WOW. As a lover of Dr. Who and Jean Michel Jarre, this is a fantastic mix of a great theme, and the ever so often second part of the theme makes my senses tingle with joy. Thanks so much. More, More, More x
I really love the multi-channel manipulation of the rhythm. It nails the Jarre feeling perfectly.
This is pure genius! Along with the other "what if ... Dr who" themes. So well captured the style. Awesome

Good choices. I'd add Jan Hammer (Miami Vice theme) & definitely Mike Oldfield to the list.
*Daft Punk & Joseph Trapanese for a TRON Legacy flavour (or just Joe for TRON Uprising flavour)!
Also 808 State & Ozric Tentacles.
@@welshcowboy306 I've just uploaded a DW theme arranged in the style of Crockett's Theme / Miami Vice.
I always wondered what a Giorgio Moroder version would sound like
Something similar to "Midnight Express" probably.
Den Saku
Or the Scarface theme, since he wrote that as well
In 1978, probably a bit like this.

Wow ! How have we never heard a JMJ version of this iconic tune. His music suits it so much

Just brilliant! Love Jean Michel Jarre, sounds just like him, congratulations.
Nifty! Fascinating what if. Massive Jean Michel Jarre fan and Dr Who. What a combination. The visuals are truly amazing.

the new Album is fantastic, can't wait for the second part next year.

Bravo! A worthy treatment and very much in the style of JMJ!
Absolute briljant!
This version and the John Carpenter versions are the best. Most in to the sound of the artist and Dr. Who theme!!
Fantastic !! .. sounds just like a Jarre masterpiece - Oxygene / Equinoxe era.
I'm late to this party but this is bang on - as the other Who "What if"s presented by GeorgeC. Salutations.
i like this, much like i enjoyed the "in the style of vangelis" version, and who is next to put a spin on Ron Grainer's eerie dr who theme, i wish it to be Gary Numan, circa Tubeway army years to his awesome album of telekon.
Check out Matt Jessup's Telekonised Dr Who theme
Its good how you kept it very Analog sounding without over emphasising the Doctors them and making a good Hybrid of both Artists. Excellent and very clever.
so faith full to Jarre and classic who themes! well done, sir!
This "What if JMJ?" interpretation of the theme actually sounds believable, I could picture it being in the actual show during the late Tom Baker- Peter Davidson era.
Since people are asking for different interpretations of the theme, I start to wonder "What if Paul Hardcastle did a Doctor Who theme?"
It would be incredible if each of these artists could've done a theme for each of the doctors.
So much work must have gone into this. Awesome job, as a fan of both, I loved listening to it :-)
Sylvester McCoy's Doctor would have liked this.
Can imagine it
Dude this is incredible. Just incredible.
But, what if the Pet Shop Boys did the Doctor Who theme?
Now that I would like to see
Erasure were asked by JNT in '92, but had to decline as they were on tour. Instead the Cybertech version was used for Dimensions In Time.
Keff McCulloch's version has a lot of Pet Shop Boys style in it!
WHAT IF BRAD FIEDEL DID A DOCTOR WHO THEME?
(I'm talking Brad Fiedel in his prime. Terminator 1-era.)
So more synth, less orchestra...
And Fright-night.....
This is your best version to date. So J-M Jarre! Just love it.
What if Harold Faltermeyer did a Doctor Who Theme?
What if Giorgio Moroder did a Doctor Who Theme?
What if GeorgeCMusic did a Doctor Who Theme?
Very accurate! This is one of my favorite dr Who themes
I love the "middle 8" section!
BBC this has just got to be used on Dr Who, this as the theme and David tennant back as the Dr, I may just watch it again!!!!!! Never watched it since he left!!!!!!
perfect in every way.
When I first heard this soundtrack (with no video or artist attribution) I thought: OMG, has Jarre recorded his interpretation of the Doctor Who theme? It’s an awesome job.
Wow! That was astonishing! Thank you so much for this! Exactly hit the mark - If you ever do a cd I'd buy it! :)
Love the middle 8 in there :) The whole is just superb! Well done.
Insanely clever and honourable to both sources. Almost as good as the version playing in my head since 1976...
Sounds like there's a bit of "Good Vibrations" in there as well; the Beach Boys may have used similar instruments as this song was released not long after Doctor Who...
wonderful work! enjoyed it a lot
What if John Carpenter did a Doctor Who theme?
What if Lady Gaga did a Doctor Who theme?
soundcloud.com/george-lock-5/john-carpenter-doctor-who-theme
The Wanderer How about what if Linkin Park did a Doctor Who theme? (RIP Chester Bennington)
Denton It would be shite.
+eldospinks
It wasn't. Lol
Clever chap ! Very much enjoyed this - especially 2.28 - nice !
again absolutely brilliant !!!!
Man, this is spot on. Very well done!
Perfect blend! Spot on.
brilliantly done
Spot on! The Oxygène style suits the Dr Who theme nicely.
Works for me. I could imagine this being a thing. Nice job on the remix!
Excellent. You captured Jarre's style really well.
In tonights episode of Doctor Who, The doctor must fight to breath as he struggles to find oxygen!
Great effort, and video too
Excellent work!
Amazing!!..I really listen to Jean-Michel Jarre!..Your music makes me dream,you've done a great job!!
this is very special. AMAZING
THIS GODLIKE JOB,I AM FROM FRANCE SO I KNOW JEAN MICHEL JARRE,SERIOUSLY,THIS IS VERY GOOD
Thanks for this. Shows the class of the original with a bit of a twist.
He would definitely love this
just stunning....
This is absolutely amazing 👨🏻🚀 well done
Yo, that logo is fucking sick
I have enjoyed your versions of the Dr who themes this one was very good.
OMFG, just OMFG JEAN MICHEL JARRE I LOVE ❤️ YOU XXXXXX
Wasn't convinced by your Vangelis cover, I didn't think it sounded Vangelis-y at all. ;) This, however, almost sounds like something Jarre could have done. :)
Thank you. I have been thinking about revisiting at some point the Vangelis one now that I have Arturia's CS-80 virtual synth...
Well, guess you got yourself a new subscriber, then. Can't be missing that. ;)
GeorgeCMusic I'd like to hear a Prodigy version :-D
man. this is just brilliant. wish I could make something like that
I'm hearing echoes of Peter Howell.... one of my favourites as a Composer of Doctor Who music!
Excellent job!
Very magical
Brilliantly done, sounds great. I wish someone would do a what if Mike Oldfield done the Doctor Who theme next.
subtle perfection
Love it! Excellent!
Damn... It sounds very muck like a Jarre work xD
I love Jean Michel Jarre, and this is exactly his style. Brilliant.
Have heard that this was supposed to be Series 27 title music in 1990 if the series didn't got axed in 1989.
This is remarkable!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!
Brilliant. This is what the theme music should be like!
That actualy sounds pretty good.
LOVE IT !
Great stuff 😜😜👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Excellent, thank you :)
These are awesome!!!! Subscribed
I love this !
What if Yellow Magic Orchestra did the Doctor Who theme?
Fantastic! Thanks so much for this! :-D
This theme would have suited the later Tom Baker years with the Howell theme being introduced with Peter Davison...
I like the Oxygene references especially noticeable just before the Middle 8.
We need "What if Gary Numan did a Doctor Who theme"
yeah, i agree, and i know where ideas for the arrangement can come from.... "THE PLEASURE PRINCIPAL" album
YES WOT GREAT WORK YOU DUN MAN AND SO COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLTWO
fantastic!!
What if Dali/Manish & Daria Kawashima (the people who did the original Sailor Moon theme) did a Doctor Who theme..? Strangely this could be interesting since I found the Doctor Who theme, particularly the McCoy-era version, matches well with the Sailor Moon opening title sequence when it's the same length.
ngl this was pretty epic tam tam taaa tadataaaam taam tadataamtam taaam tadatamtam tammmmm wooooouuuuoooooooooooooooooooo woooouuuu oooo uuuuuuuuu :)
Love this !
Awesome. This should definitely be submitted to Whomix without delay!
That great to know.
Of all the themes, I think this one is the most effective (or closest to what I would consider that musician to have accomplished). The others are pretty close, but there are a few notes or sections that seem "off".
Superb.
This is amazing!
Veeeery Goooood , keep moving..
Brilliant!
I am enjoying this series of takes on the Doctor Who theme. What if Tomita did a Doctor Who theme? What if Wendy Carlos did a Doctor Who Theme? What if John Williams did a Doctor Who theme?
Very good!
Brilliant ! Jarre will be kicking himself for not doing it ... especially excellent at 2.28 !!
