delia derbyshire, mother of techno

delia derbyshire (1937-2001).

most famous for her uncredited (though not by lack of trying by the credited composer) work on the doctor who theme was an early electronic experimenter and composer.

she worked with brian jones, hendrix and yoko ono, among others.

anyway, this recently discovered recording sounds a whole lot like techno... (early aphex twin, anyone?) but it was made in the 60's!
