Bedtime Stories

A mix CD I cobbled together back in 2003. It's purpose: to give you a light snack, bathe you, put you to bed  whilst  calming voices from the BBC Records and Tapes back catalogue read you a psychedelic bedtime story as you drift gently beyond the wall of sleep. Do not listen whilst operating heavy machinery. May cause drowsiness.

Space Invaded

A sort of sister lp to BBC Records and Tapes' Space Themes, sharing a couple of tracks and  more sleeve notes from Mat Irvine. This album features one of the all time greatest sig tunes of all time - Tomorrow's World by Richard Denton and Martin Cook. Plenty of other good stuff too.

mmmm... brain planet

Radiophonic Rock

The Soundhouse - The 1983 25th anniversary lp. Highlights include Paddy Kingsland's cues for the Hitch-hiker's Secondary Phase and some spooky ambient pieces for Radio 4 by Dick Mills.

Secrets Of The Chasm

BBC Radiophonic Workshop - 21: The 1979 21st Anniversary disc is probably my favourite RW album. It was also the hardest one to track down, at a realistic price that is. A companion programme was produced at the time for Radio 3 and can currently be listened to courtesy of Cottage Of Electric Hell! Well worth checking out, it's quite brilliant.
