@poo poo…. maybe but they could certainly have used some tape machines and tone generators and combined these with the modern technology.

I just thought it was funny when I was looking through the flicker set of them rehearsing that no-one even touched any of the EMS gear. It was almost like they had it there as props. Still, maybe the photographer turned up after they had been tweaking.

OK I’m going to stop being an old misery now!

Well, I’m all for the BBC gang hauling out their EMS’s … that’d be great. The older stuff, no, not terribly practical for live performance. :) (and this tune was assembled in, um, whatever the *opposite* of realtime is … “long time”?)

@simon … old radiophonic gear? Delia’s lampshade and tape machine hardly lend themselves to live performance.

I hear you, Simon … but I think you can cover something out of love, even realizing you may not be able to top the original (and indeed, just about impossible to do that…)

For me this just goes to prove that some things just can’t be bettered or improved upon. With everyone talking about how futuristic the original is, why not just play the original. And where was all the radiphonic gear? I saw a a flickr set that had loads of old EMS stuff but everyone seemed more interested in looking at their lap tops.

I would have had more respect for this if they had combined some live tweaking of synths and tape loops rather than triggering clips from ableton live.

Rob-M: Right, excellent point. Tune by Ron Grainer, electronically “orchestrated” (and, given the available technology, arguably performed!) by Delia.
