Ha! This is such a fun record. From the famous BBC Radiophonic Workshop. The sleeve is ofcourse big fun, but the record itself also. With sounds from OUTER SPACE, MAGIC and FANTASY, SUSPENSE and the SUPERNATURAL and THE ELEMENTS. For being a musician and using lots of electronica and tapes, loving oscilators and stuff, my love collect this kind of records just for fun. I think nowadays this record is a collectors item.The video is about the radiophonic workshops.
On you tube you will find more parts of this documentary. And we all know the mysterious Dr. Who theme, don't we?
