I have quite a few BBC Radiophonic Workshop albums, but don't much about any of the individual players.

I have to say, just looking at the front page of this left me breathless with its scope, depth, organization, and obvious love and respect. I will dig around a bit in it, it may not be for me, but this is definitely for people, and I hope those people find it!

Wow! Fuckin' wow! Bookmarking, thanks for posting!

This is amazing, thanks for posting!! I'm thrilled that Derbyshire's work is becoming more well-known, it's ground-breaking and profoundly influential, and this is a terrific resource.

Coincidentally, I just learned about Delia Derbyshire while tracking down the sources of some favorite tracks on mix CDs my sister made for me 15 years ago. The track in question: Firebird

I'm just a hair disappointed this isn't a wiki of things that were in the Delia's catalog.
