Delia Derbyshire & Elsa Stansfield - Circle of Light (Original Soundtrack)

Something for those with with a musical taste for the arcane and esoteric.

Jonny Trunk's ability to dig out the rarest dusty reels and DATs from the archives, basements and attics of the Radiophonic workshop's various entourage has turned up possibly his most unbelievable find yet. Delia Derbyshire and Elsa Stansfield's original electronic soundtrack to the avant-garde film Circle of Light: The Photography of Pamela Bone, directed by Anthony Roland.

Weird, when this was announced the first time it was presented as a one-time exclusive limited vinyl pressing (that sold out very fast), which is when I bought it. They must've repressed it a few times by now... Seems the price went up quite a bit too?

Well deserved anyway (the repress, not the price) this album is great and essential for Delia fans. I suggest watching the movie for it too (PM me and I'll show you where you can find it), really lush imagery.

Yeah any release of Derbyshire music is a good thing. I don't know this one, seems lush af

lol @ the price tho. come on now.

This is the third pressing (in green).

I hadn't even heard of this artist before today - and there I was thinking I had my finger on the hauntological pulse.

Lol.

You've never heard of Delia before????

IDM card pls

*holds out hand*

I really like the "Electronic" CD that was up for sale recently, and found a cool colored 7" of "The Delian Mode" in a gatefold sleeve.

£24 for 31 minutes of music. Not even Delia Derbyshire can get that out of me.

You can get the FLAC files for £2.

** actually £1.50

It's cheaper at the Trunk store directly. It's also recommended because it's basically the longest recorded Delia piece (that's released (so far)), two long sides of lush droney ambient with lush field recordings.

btw also been available streaming for free on the usual platforms for quite a while. It's good. Little bit like Chris Watson at bits with the cut up field recordings of wildlife

personally I preferred the suzanne ciani buchla concerts record. that was just a straight clinic of vintage electronics in full effect

That second piece where the keyboard (or whatever it is) comes in and starts to build from the 4 minute mark onwards is just incredibly haunting. I wonder how they achieved that sound?
