CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
White Noise "An Electric Storm" 1969 (UK/USA)

This album is a cornerstone in the development of electronic pop music, created by two renegades from the BBC Radiophonic Workshop (Delia Derbyshire, who composed the original theme music for Dr. Who, and Brian Hodgson) along with American electronic music dude David Vorhaus. Side one of this album is labeled "Phase In" and consists of five ground-breaking examples of psychedelic 60's pop spun through a blender of (what were then) cutting-edge electronic doodads. Side two is "Phase Out" of course, and is comprised of two epic "electric storms" of mind melting synthesized sounds. This is the kind of album where it's very easy to fall back on music critic cliches like "groundbreaking", "futuristic" and "utterly unique", but that's because this album is all of those things! A must-hear for fans of oddball sixties records and truly original sounds.
There doesn't seem to be any video of White Noise around, but Delia Derbyshire's "Dr. Who Theme" is a classic example of early "pure" electronic pop music, where all the sounds are synthesized and nothing is played on a traditional musical instrument. Next, here's Delia herself in the 1960's explaining how to make electronic music, and here's a Delia Derbyshire radio interview from 1997 and here's a TV documentary on the BBC Radiophonic Workshop featuring more about Delia and her compatriots. Finally, if you thought Daft Punk was the first French electro-disco group to wear space helmets, you're wrong! Check out "Magic Fly" by Space!
