Delia Derbyshire is well known for her work with the BBC Radiophonic Workshop and her help in creating the Dr.Who theme. Of all the BBC Radiophonic musicians I've heard I always found Delia's music to be more aesthetically mature than that of the others. While many were content to create mathematically structured enharmonic noise she looked for the ghost in the machine, creating haunting, off kilter and often sexually charged music. This track is from the 1969 The White Noise - Electric Storm LP. To me it sounds 30 years ahead of it's time. I hope you like it.

  • Sounds so Nirvana.

  • Of course, we are always "of our time", but she was at the cutting edge of hers, ahead of the pack, unrecognised in her time - a genius! It is only now we might be catching up with her, and she may get some postumous recognition for what she was trying to do.... and inspire us in our time.

  • Respect! Love without words I would say..

  • @HTprods The lead vocals on this song were by John Whitman, a geezer, and was written by Delia Derbyshire and David Vorhaus.

  • awesome!

    

  • she died when i was one/1

  • delia fue excelente sin ella no se hubiera podido crear la psycodelia

  • this shit is crazy!!! wowow.

  • Is the voice male or female? It's very odd. I know Delia made the song, but is it her singing?

  • This makes me think of summer afternoons in block island on the beach with some good friends, just chillin', talking about old movies....

  • The singer reminds me of vincent gallo. The whole track sounds like his musical output condensed.

  • She definitely went through that wormhole. Instead of Donnie Darko saved his love of life, she saved the music industry.
