info The debut White Noise album featured Delia Derbyshire and Brian Hodgson, who had worked for the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, and David Vorhaus, who had studied classical orchestral bass playing and electronics. The instrumentation consisted of early electronic instruments and a huge amount of tape manipulation, the standard techniques of the Workshop in those days. The album originally released by Island Records in 1969 only emerged on CD - in a "matrix mixed" format - as late as 1996, again on Island, but was rapidly deleted.

review White Noise, the brainchild of Delia Derbyshire and David Vorhaus, was one of the first all-electronic groups ever, and contempories of the equally legendary Silver Apples. Their first and only true LP was one of the emerging Island Records early album releases and, along with Traffic, one of their first alternative signing (a distinct change from their blue beat fair). Whatever Island honcho Chris Blackwell saw in the demos of the sublime Firebird and symphonically psychedelic Love Without Sound (both used on the record) we shall never know, but he stumped up the cash for the pair to go back to their Kaleidophon Studio, situated opposite London psychedelic center The RoundHouse. Derbyshire had set the ante for purely electronic pop with her seminal recording of the original Doctor Who theme. But White Noise, and their strange blend of the Medieval and Futuristic music was to become one of Island's early best sellers and a student favorite for decades.

I,ve still got a tape of "An electric storm" which was taped from my older brothers copy that he had taped from my oldest brother who taped it from his mates. Though it's a crap copy it's the only copy I've got and I've been listening to it for years. I was beginning to think it was the only copy in existence. I listened to it recently after I lost a good friend and 'The Visitation' sent chills up my spine; death has never quite been expressed so vividly in music, (except perhaps Offenbach's Orpheus in the underworld). 'Your hidden dreams' gives me the same feeling I got as a child reading books on the occult. Their is magic, passion, terror and incredible sorrow in this album. A rare gem indeed.

If you like this album, watch the 1972 Hammer horror movie "Dracula AD 1972" which features the Black Mass track from White Noise's album, Electric Storm. It's really out of this world maaaaaaaaan!!!!!!!

I have had a cassette of this amazing lp for over 25 years and it still punches those buttons. Some other records that do this sort of mindwarp would be the recordings of pierre henry, there are many to choose from, Apocalypse de Jean for example still sends shivers! Recently i heard white noise on Resonance FM over the net and had to get the cd immediatly! As far as i'm concerned this is truely desert island stuff I have a vinyl copy of White Noise 3, Re-Entry and it is still a great listen, more outerspace than inner though. the 1st lp is an absolute milestone!!!!!

36 years ago I've heard White noise first time. Now i go to the net look for the music and - so many people like an electric storm, me too. In my meaning it is one of the parts of electronic sound.
