My CD of Willow Pattern Songs by Hong Kong in the 60s came today. Beautiful, melodic, fragile pop that's a perfect summer soundtrack. If you've not heard any Hong Kong in the 60s before, drop by their Myspace page and have a listen. Then you'll want to buy Willow Pattern Songs (which you may well have to buy on download as it was released a year ago and the limited CD copies are pretty much sold out, although I managed to get my copy from Thee Sheffield Phonographic Corporation) and the more recent digital single Footsteps. And if you're going to be in London on 20 August, you can see them play live at The Drop in Stoke Newington.

Listening to Archive on 4 programme about Delia Derbyshire

Sculptress of Sound: The Lost Works of Delia Derbyshire

Synopsis

The broadcaster and Doctor Who fan MATTHEW SWEET travels to The University of Manchester - home of Delia Derbyshire's private collection of audio recordings - to learn more about the wider career and working methods of the woman who realised Ron Grainer's original theme to Doctor Who.
Delia's collection of tapes was, until recently, in the safekeeping of MARK AYRES, archivist for the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Matthew meets up at Manchester University with Mark, along with Delia's former colleagues from the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, BRIAN HODGSON and DICK MILLS - plus former 'White Noise' band member DAVID VORHAUS - to hear extracts from the archive, discuss their memories of Delia and the creative process behind some of her material.
Her realisation of the Doctor Who theme is just one small example of her genius and we'll demonstrate how the music was originally created as well as hearing individual tracks from Delia's aborted 70's version. We'll also feature the make up tapes for her celebrated piece 'Blue Veils and Golden Sands', and hear Delia being interviewed on a previously 'lost' BBC recording from the 1960s.
Matthew's journey of discovery will take in work with the influential poet Barry Bermange, as well as her 1971 piece marking the centenary of the Institution of Electrical Engineers.
This Archive on 4 is brought up to date with an individual track from 'The Dance' from the children's programme 'Noah'. Recorded in the late 1960s this remarkable tape sounds like a contemporary dance track which wouldn't be out of place in today's most 'happening' trance clubs.

Producer: Phil Collinge.

Kraftwerk "12345678 The Catalogue" CD box set unboxing

My digitally remastered Kraftwerk box set came today, and it really is a beautifully designed item (we already know the music is excellent!)

Packaged in an LP-sized box, the lid opens to reveal a hard slipcase enclosing the LP-sized full colour booklets - one for each album - with some album details, but mainly with previously unseen original-era artwork. Lifting out the slipcase reveals the CDs, packaged two-deep in a foam insert. The individual CDs come in inner and outer cardboard sleeves with mostly new artwork.

I've only had a chance to listen to Autobahn so far, but it was definitely an improvement over the old CD version I already have.

If you're a Kraftwerk fan wondering if it's worthwhile buying this box set, I'd definitely say yes!
