    The track John Baker plays at 6:38 is his radiophonic signature tune for “Tom Tom”, the magazine programme this clip is taken from. And at the start 0:01 you hear an excerpt from his track Structures, which was included on the BBC Radiophonic Music album released in 1968.

    Wow - Brian Hodgson right around the time of his involvement in the recording of the White Noise album AN ELECTRIC STORM with Delia Derbyshire & David Vorhaus...a truly unique album.

    Just by the door that opened on to the corridor that led to the rooms housing the Radiophonic workshop was a framed reproduction of a page from The New Atlantis by Francis Bacon.
    It described the wondrous things that this futurstic land possesed. And this page mentions that -(can't quote exactly) We also have sound houses that can send forth all manner of music that please the ear and make any sound at command to soothe or terrify etc etc.
    The idea being that the Radiophonic workshop was the very manifestation of this prescient and remarkable prediction.
    Pity the prediction didn't forsee the whole lot being put in a skip made obselete by a laptop.

    As a child of the 70’s the excitement of hearing radiophonic music on every BBC morning or cheap BBC schools it was everywhere. Moron people didn’t have a clue but dr who fans knew.

    I wonder if that piano at 1:38 is the one they originally used to make the Tardis dematerialisation effect?

    I remember the earliest electronic music on the Radio in the early 1950's, 'Journey into Space' was the first, 3 sries I think. Later came Dr Who, in 60's TV etc etc, I have two of the Radiophonic Workshop CD's, with the whole history of this creation. BUT, without doubt THEE greatst breakthrough was the Vinyl ( and later CD --''Switched on Bach'' by Walter ( later, Wendy Carlos ) on her Moog synthersizer.. Later still , She created the electronic muisc fpr ''A Clockwork Orange''.

    why does 5:43 sound horrible yet 6:37 sounds beautiful? Did they use different processes to make the music, or is the first guy not very musical like he said he didn't know how to play a violen, yet the second guy said he went to school for composition. So confused.
