BBC Radiophonic Workshop ‎– "Doctor Who At The BBC Radiophonic Workshop - Volume 2: New Beginnings 1970-1980)

Towards the end of Miss Derbyshire's and Brian Hodgson's tenure in the workshop, the arrival of a state of the art EMS Synthi 100 modular synth,nicknamed 'the Delaware' after the address of the workshop, started to change the direction of the music the team produced.
Also the arrival of 'proper' musicians, like Malcolm Clarke,also normalised the sounds somewhat.Malcolm also brought long hair,flak jackets and moustaches into the fold.

Malcolm with the Delaware and moustache.

Having, mildly,expressed my disapproval of the replacement of the two key members of the Radiophonic Workshop from the sixties,one must say that Clarke's soundtrack for the imfamous 'Sea Devils' episodes makes me shit bricks in fear. I was too young to remember any of the sixties soundtracks,mainly because I genuinely hid behind the sofa in terror in the time-honoured fashion, so didn't connect the sound with the images.By 1973 I was,older and watching,in colour, from that same sofa,pretending not to be shitting in my short trousers while The Sea Devils rose out of the murky polluted  waters of the North Sea, fuming mad at what us land dwellers were doing to their aquatic abode. A parable for our times but from nigh-on fifty years ago. I can still hear those harsh synthesizer notes clanging unapologetically down every child's spine the whole length and breadth of this island nation. 
What amazes me most about this stark electronic ass kicking, is the total lack of ambient soundscapes that were the trademrk of Derbyshire and Hodgson, just stark monophonic EMS synthesizer noise,that seem incompatable with the images,yet strangely in tune with the experience. Terrifying!
The end of this collection sees Delia's most hated version of her fabulous Theme tune,as done by her and Hodgson on the 'Delaware' as a request by the boss.She was not happy that they insisted on messing about endlessly with her 'Perfect',organic ,sci-fi anthem.By 1980,after Delia had given up on music for wine,snuff,and working in a bookshop, they had someone else (Peter Howell)do a characterless synth version,also included here.
