New from Langham Research Centre, Tape Works Vol. 1 stands alone as a collection of modern musique concrète. Created with rare and obsolete machinery and inspired by early electronic composers including John Cage, Alvin Lucier, Delia Derbyshire and Daphne Oram, Tape Works Vol. 1 is the modern incarnation of the work of the original BBC Radiophonic Workshop. 

 

Tape Works Vol. 1 documents the origins of Langham Research Centre as a late night experimental gathering in BBC Studios, through to their present day long-form radiophonic works including The Dark Tower, inspired by the life and work of Nikola Tesla, and Muffled Ciphers, inspired by J G Ballard’s most experimental novel The Atrocity Exhibition (1970). From doors to laughter, field recordings and found sound, nothing is out of bounds on this unique sonic journey. 

Langham Research Centre work with reel to reel tape recorders, gramophone cartridges, wave oscillators and more to produce new work for these instruments, as well as creating authentic performances of early electronic music.

Why won't they let you listen to it.

 

 

Because it's not that good? I heard it and thought it was just a poor BBC radiophonic workshop demo.

You're not missing much. It isn't Delia Derbyshire.

Once again, I judged an album too quickly.

 

If you get a chance, try and listen to 'Quasar Melodics/The Voices of Time'. An amazingly, disturbing piece.

'Sink Speeds' is also worthy of the best on Ghostbox

From the outset you weren't selling it very well at all despite feeling the need to start a thread about it. You may as well have called it Chris Langham Research Centre and gained more views from users looking to see what what he's been up to. Most users feel compassion to music they start a thread on, in this case you were on autopilot and looking for the obscure cool. 

Langham Research Centre are not something that's set the world on fire, but only time will tell where their talentlessness take them.
