BBC Radiophonic Workshop 21
Nevertheless, in spite of appalling problems the combined creativity of the people involved ensured that the Department not only survived but grew in size and reputation, each generation of composers building on the work of those who had left, and each adding their unique creative contribution. Side 1 (1-28) covers the period from 1958-1971. All the tracks are mono and as far as possible are copies of the original masters. We have resisted the temptation to clean up tracks, so they exist in their original form-tape hiss, crackles, warts and all-and the listener should be able to detect a quality change over the first side as equipment was gradually improved (starting about 1962) as high-quality tape recorders came into use at the Workshop. Side 2 (29-45) which is in stereo, is a cross-section of more recent material and shows how modern technology in the form of synthesisers and multi-track recorders has made a considerable difference both in the quality and the complexity of our work. We hope you enjoy it. - Brian Hodgson, Radiophonic Workshop |
