This month’s Electronic Sound cover star is Hannah Peel, whose latest album is a superb reimagining of ‘Electronsonic’, a 1972 library music collection on KPM Records featuring The Radiophonic Workshop. To accompany the issue, we also have an incredibly special seven-inch release, for which Hannah Peel has incorporated excerpts from a previously unknown interview with Delia Derbyshire into a brand new composition called ‘Unheard Delia’. As regular readers of Electronic Sound will no doubt know, we’ve been big fans of Hannah Peel for a long time, so our cover story has been coming for a while. Her new album, ‘Fir Wave’, sees her rewiring some of Delia Derbyshire and Brian Hodgson’s early 1970s work for radio, television and film, and the results are terrific, more than fulfilling the promise of her previous releases. Although we’re only three months into 2021, ‘Fir Wave’ is certain to be one of the essential records of the year. Hannah is a totally engaging interviewee too, as you will quickly discover.
