Dalek Relaxation Tape

A long, long time ago, on the day Dark Matter Zine was launched, I posted a jumble of stuff titled “Just in case you missed it”. That post is still quite popular.

I’ve looked back over that post; I assume people keep coming back for the Dalek Relaxation Tape I found over on YouTube.

For your convenience, I’ve embedded that video here so you don’t have to scroll all the way down the post to hear the dulcet tones of daleks getting their meditation on.

Although this is hilarious, it drives me crazy well before the end. Daleks were my monsters, terrifying me from a very young age. I think I’ve only listened to it the full way through twice: once for my benefit and once because my partner needed to be schooled in the ways of dalek relaxation.

Apparently Peter Serafinowicz is the genius behind this yoga-style meditation video with this description: “During their absence from Doctor Who, the Daleks released a series of new-age relaxation tapes.”
