via the BBC"A hidden hoard of recordings made by the electronic music pioneer behind the Doctor Who theme [Delia Debyshire] has been revealed - including a dance track 20 years ahead of its time...
Most unexpected of all, however, is a piece of music that sounds like a contemporary dance track which was recorded, it is believed, in the late sixties.
Paul Hartnoll, formerly of the dance group Orbital and a great admirer of Ms Derbyshire's work, said the track was, "quite amazing".
'That could be coming out next week on [left-field dance label] Warp Records,' he noted.
'It's incredible when you think when it comes from. Timeless, really. It could be now as much as then.'
Delia Derbyshire's voice can be heard introducing it. 'Forget about this,' she says, 'it's for interest only.'"
Click here for the track. Realize this is the 60s. Utterly amazing.

ReplyDeletewow! that was INCREDIBLY groundbreaking for that time!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! I was not expecting that! I love White Noise, but this is so much more, dare I say, futuristic.
ReplyDeleteSlabman: ironically, I don't think she was terribly interested in synthesizers. She liked playing with tape.
