Delia, the Amazon

I am really happy that the first release on My Sonic Mountain will be from a female artist (Tora Vinter). I was working the other week with the Subliminal Kid and he showed me this link:

... it almost made me cry like a baby when i heard it... So A M A Z I N G!

I've been into Delia Derbyshire a bit, but this is mindblowing stuff... recorded in the end of the 60s.

It also made me a bit sad, it reminded me of reading "Love saves the Day" by Tim Lawrence, discovering that it was actually an upstate New York nun who provided David Mancuso with the blueprint of the party concept that is The Loft. It's such a shame that all but a few women in music history really got the credit they deserve.
