It is consequently a very little known science-fact that in August 1978, Tom Baker (aka Dr Who number 4) spent just over an hour locked in a BBC prop cupboard. Having incarcerated the Doctor and pocketed the keys to the Tardis, MC/Producer Jneiro Jarel, donned some tastefully pimped out thread and sneaked off on a beautiful cosmic adventure through time and space as the mysterious Dr Who Dat?
Breezing through enchanted Brazilian rainforests c.1962, lounging on planets that never even appeared on the show. He even spent a couple of days coordinating a dance workshop for cybermen in 2085. Dr Who Dat? basically energised an entire parallel universe with drums, trumpets and various vocals, all cut to perfection using re-engineered Dalek lasers, pro-scratch mixers and brightly coloured computers that run on sugar cane.
Dr Who Dat?’s debut album on Lex is called Beat Journey and though he claims to have written and produced the album from his studio in Philadelphia, influenced by his time in Houston, Maryland, Arizona, Georgia and NYC, we know this album is in fact just an excerpt of audio taken from the Tardis’ black box recorder.
In a previous incarnation, Dr Who Dat? also made an excellent album called Three Piece Puzzle on Dutch label Kindred Spirits and features on the Shape of Broad Minds album Craft of the Lost Art.
The second Dr Who Dat? album is out now as a digital download only. Beyond 2Morrow is a slightly darker affair, evolved but remaining as mysterious and listenable as his critically acclaimd debut.
