Regenerations

I must truly have been spending my time living under a rock* recently because I almost missed out on this. See you in Brum? I'll be the one in the top hat and simian demeanour, trying to get Paddy Kingsland to sign his copy of Fourth Dimension.

And you'll probably want to check out Into The Music: That Doctor Who Sound courtesy of ABC Radio National.

Not to mention Radio Clash #173: Radiophonic At 50.

Also whilst we're at it, you'll be wanting a copy of the Wed, 5th March edition of the Radio on Music podcast download. It was "Sculptress of Sound: The Lost Works of Delia Derbyshire", a cracking Archive Hour I did intend to post on this blog, but now you can get it direct from the horse's mouth.

Coming up, I'm pleased to announce that I've just got my paws on a copy of Listen Move & Dance No.4. Ripping times ahead!

Oh, and this this is rather lovely too.

*Such a lovely rock though...

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.

Time Warp Start, Run, Stop

 

Out Of This World Atmospheric Sounds and Effects from The BBC Radiophonic Workshop (1976). Spooky, atmospheric, ambient, eccentric. Great stuff. Ripped @ 320kbps as individual tracks.

Listen to the Unmann-Wittering Out Of This World compilation. Very nice.

No.23 - Forest Adagio

BBC Sound Effects Vol.23 Relaxing Sounds - This is worth hearing in particular for two icily ambient BBC Radiophonic works, by Messrs. Limb and Mills. Mills' 'Forest Adagio' is an extended and re-worked version of the track found on 'The Radiophonic Workshop' LP with added rainforest effects - far superior to one of those cheesy new age relaxation CDs mind you. The rest of the album is stereo field recordings some of which are binaural  so you'll want your cans on for this one. And relax...
