Silva Screen have confirmed that the release of the forthcoming Doctor Who Specials soundtrack has unfortunately been pushed back to October 4th 2010.

Originally set to be released later this month, the long-awaited 2-disc set will feature music from the Tenth Doctor’s final specials. Series composer Murray Gold has teased: “This collection is a bit different to the previous releases on Silva Screen. It’s a double CD, of course, and the tracks are drawn from four stories.”

He continued: “Previously a single episode has had, at most, three tracks. This time, we linger somewhat longer, and there’s perhaps more a sense of passage through the stories. In some ways, it’s a more conventional soundtrack, with less zipping about through styles. We could have compressed everything onto a single disc, but Silva Screen offered to put out a double. It seemed the better route.”

In addition, it has been revealed that fans who buy the album on iTunes will be treated to 2 exclusive tracks, The Cyberleader Runs Amok and Never Too Old To Shoot And Fly.

A Series 5 soundtrack is currently scheduled to be released on November 8th 2010.
