melodies from Mars

As pointed out by viewer Larry, the London News Review has a little article about the BBC Radiophonic Workshop and its influence on modern artists. I don’t agree that the incidental music sounds like bad library CDs from the 90s - I really like the music in Rose - but I agree that without Delia Derbyshire and the rest of the Radiophonic Workshop crew we might not have Aphex Twin’s intimate and alien melodies from Mars.
