And interesting comment about how she felt about synthesizers. Rather like with Queen, whatever people may feel about them (love the music, but wish a) Freddie had been more open and b) that they hadn't played Sun City in 1984) they pioneered studio techniques in the seventies that by the eighties were there at the touch of a button. I suppose the argument is that they were there at the touch of a button because someone saw a need for it, necessity being the mother of cliches and all that...Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14243538543550888272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31163503.post-70461548755509135862008-07-31T10:16:00.000+01:002008-07-31T10:16:00.000+01:00Great post. Orbital owe a lot to Delia Derbyshire....Great post. Orbital owe a lot to Delia Derbyshire. The BBC recently did a piece on her as she recently passed away and some of the stuff she did was mind blowing. Would be best described today as Techno. Crazy. Apperently she was none to happy when synth's were invented. Understandably.8Ballthebandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02468183659680618483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31163503.post-36726849707571149602008-07-31T09:03:00.000+01:002008-07-31T09:03:00.000+01:00Thanks for a great reviewThanks for a great reviewentrailicushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16300979231382389094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31163503.post-24735043871457232232008-07-31T02:36:00.000+01:002008-07-31T02:36:00.000+01:00'Humble blog'???
