Paul Hartnoll, formerly of the dance group Orbital and a great admirer of Ms Derbyshire's work, said the track was, "quite amazing".

"That could be coming out next week on [left-field dance label] Warp Records," he noted.

he's obviously not heard what warp have been releasing for the last however many years...

Delia darbyshire is f'in amazing

To make the doctor who theme out of syncing a rubber band bassline with synthesized partials from hand tuned oscillators is beyond amazing.

She was the kind of musician who could think in ratios of partials - lost art

i want to hear all of the tapes!! i hope they release them in some way that you can hear what she did originally instead of just commissioning a bunch of "remixes" of the stuff. there is some really cool stuff near the end of the blue veils and golden sands demo version.
