In 1979 the Fairlight CMI (Computer Musical Instrument) was launched, the year that the BBC Radiophonic Workshop celebrated it's 21st birthday. At the price of a house (approx. £30,000) this state of the art piece of equipment was embedded with an 8 bit digital sampling synthesizer capable of emulating acoustic instruments and orchestras alongside the manipulation of sound effects. For the BRW this was a major game changer, where previously, composers would spend weeks editing small pieces of tape together to create sounds. Ingenuity and creativity in music and sound was still at the forefront for Workshop members but suddenly made a whole lot easier. This 1983 collection (a first time re-release here of the complete album) celebrated these new found freedoms most notably on the opening track where five Radiophonic composers combined to add their own musical identity to a rhythmic percussive sequence from the Fairlight. Highlights include music from the radio production of The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy and Fancy Fish based on Saint-Saen's Carnival Of The Animals which was the first BRW project to utilize the Fairlight.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadiophonic Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLascaux\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComputers in the Real World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeascape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Whale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRallyman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCatch the Wind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBelieve It or Not\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlanet Earth (Scenes from 'The Living Planet')\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDawn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMainstream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Unseeing Eye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFancy Fish ('Aquarium')\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrighton Pier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArmagiddean War Games\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYellow Moon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadio Blackburn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMacRocosm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLand and People\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoudin's Musical Box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGhost in the Water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Milonga\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"705","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50556779266344,"sku":"73857215117","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/3471787.jpg?v=1763981912","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/bbc-radiophonic-work-soundhouse-lp-73857215117","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
