BBC Radiophonic Workshop – Created in 1958 to produce sound effects for TV and radio, the Radiophonic Workshop truly brought electronic music into the mainstream with the iconic Doctor Who theme tune in 1963. The Delia Derbyshire and Ron Grainer masterpiece has influenced countless electronic acts and has been remixed countless times, perhaps most notably by Orbital.

Hmmm, no Daft Punk mentioned? Or my personal favorite, Underworld? (Well, I don’t mind Underworld not being mentioned but Daft Punk is pretty big, isn’t it?) Well, nice collection anyways, great history lesson :D

Yep, I admit there are some omissions, but we could have gone on forever. Some perhaps that should have been included: Radiohead for Kid A, LCD Soundsystem etc etc...

Well I never knew Theremin was named after someone, I always thought it was some foreign technical word. But then I always thought Moogs were called that cos they go ’moooooooooog’.
