Delia Derbyshire Appreciation Society
(Six Degrees Records)
Reviewed by BravoMarco

Ambient spacey experimental delights from the UK. This duo comprises of Garry Hughs & Harvey Jones, who have a strong pedigree in their own right working with such luminaries as Bjork, Killing Joke, Julian Cope, Sly & Robbie….put that together with a love for the work of Delia Derbyshire, Dr Who ..of course.. & all things electronic…only good things can come as a result of that mélange.

Like: Modal Plane, Zeta One, Greenhouse, Another Green World

All good: Loving 4 & 5
No FCC’s (Instrumentals)
1) Blue Filter (4.52) Lively, as well as relaxing. Drones filtering in & out whilst the intergalactic mission takes place.
2) Cloudface (4.32) Atmospheric & solemn drone.
3) Half Light (7.22) Delicate and embracing.
4) Sine Language (9.56) An unhurried feast of slow paced X factor. Float away to this one.
5) St Tropez 1966 (6.22) Lovely, just lovely. Sets the mood so well, the sun, the beach… & a synth.
6) Ride Under Trees (6.15) The sound of a new day dawning.
7) The Scent of Rain (7.33) Carries on from the previous – albeit with a hint of a darker quality to it. Lively zappy flourish to conclude proceedings.
