Did a search on the forum but didn’t find any mention about this compilation. So many talks and words wasted about hauntology and the Radiophonic Workshop,… So let’s start with this. Check the following links for some information about the composer:

A web page talking about the oramics technique:

The contributors’ notes from a compilation curated by David Toop (Hugh Davies again who was the person who had all the recordings of her post-BBC period before he died some years ago. Nice to see some connections with that experimental/improvised scene of musicians):

Another thread with just one message. Great.

I got the CD from Paradigm and it's great thing to own. There's some very strange things on it including a music workshop from the 60's with some kids from Yorkshire. Their recordings alone make this a must.
