Okay, here's a rare opportunity to hear a draft version of a mix I finished a while back. This was too good to scrap, so I kept it. My Delia Derbyshire mix.
Almost put Derbyshire Symphony on my iPod-- Ran out of room. :) (I love Delia's family name-- Like the shire her family was named for, most Americans don't know how to pronounce it correctly-- DAHR-be-sheer. :) )

I already knew her proper pronunciation. I love everything British, 'natch. ;) If need be, I'll locate the finished version of this mix and add it here. Make some room for your iPod this time!! :P Thanks again, guy. ^^

*grin* At least that one I have-- Others, however, may have not heard it, so... :) Like I said, most Americans wouldn't know how to pronounce her name, although we do. :) It's amazing, though, that we're coming up on the 50th anniversary of this masterpiece and milestone in electronic music-- The first work of electronic music to ever chart on any pop music chart (1962, if I recall, in the UK pop singles chart).

I later discovered this MAMMOTH album Delia was involved in: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Electric_Storm And yes, I sampled from it at least twice. The last track on the album is a fucking MONSTER!!
Oh, yes- I'm familiar with that, along with her John Peel sessions-- Too bad she died too young... She was a true pioneer amongst experimental electronic artists & musicians. You do know that Sir Paul wanted to have Delia work with him on "Yesterday", but Sir George (Martin) said "no" and went for the string accompaniment, yes? :) (All four Beatles, at one time or another, were involved in experimental electronic music-- "Rain" and "Tomorrow Never Knows" were two of their earliest experiments.)

Don't forget: when The Beatles started work on Revolver, the first song they worked on was "Tomorrow Never Knows," a quantum leap in sound 3 years after "She Loves You." I remember the first time I heard "TNK"; I was busy shoveling my jaw up from the carpet!!

Being the first to use a drum loop, as well as the numerous tape loops, it's a masterpiece of tape recording. ("Rain" actually came first- The first to use backwards tape playback...but it was only a precursor to what they did with "Tomorrow Never Knows".... And all that was a precursor to their tour de force in tape manipulation-- The entire Sgt. Pepper's album!)

As far as the first to use backwards sound, I can recall seeing at least one episode of Popeye from the 50's where he encounters aliens, and they all talk in reverse! Buchanan & Goodman's runaway novelty hit "The Flying Saucer" had at least one instance of backwards playback on side 2 of their monster hit single.
If you want to go back EVEN FURTHER, discover the unbridled mad genius that was Frank Zappa's biggest influence, Edgar(d) Varese. I finally got a digital copy of the same album Zappa discovered, and changed the course of his life and music forever: http://i53.tinypic.com/2qinr45.jpg http://i52.tinypic.com/16c97xd.jpg
