Annabel Nugent – Independent **** – July 2020
I’m getting emotional writing this as the notes flow through my head and I have it on my iPhone on repeat…
Edmund Butt’s “Yellowstone” is an absolute delight. It’s grand, lush, melodic… beautifully written, orchestrated and performed. Yet, for all its grandeur, it is also beautifully restraint. It’s perfectly balanced and an absolute joy to listen to, over and over again.
Edmund Butt brings something brand new to Doctor Who, but it makes you realise that it would have been a catastrophe had he never had the chance to score An Adventure in Space and Time because no one else could have done the job so wonderfully.
There’s none of the bog-standard Hollywood horror cliches here….. instead we get real music, well composed and realised in this fine score….
Edmund’s music fills my heart with joy.
