Public Information Records have released a collection of F.C. Judd’s music on an excellent collection called Electronics Without Tears (Great Title!) The previous stuff I had from him were all hissy vinyl rips, but these are all cleaned up and in excellent condition.

Mr Judd is often overlooked in the world of early electronics but his output and development in the field is just as crucial as Ms Derbyshire and Ms Oram and the rest of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.

More info can be found at their website and below is a little sampler from the album:

F.C. Judd – Electronics Without Tears by Public Information

I’ve also just come across this program for those with a MAC: Berna. ‘It is a software simulation of a late 1950s electroacoustic music studio. Oscillators, filters, modulators, tape recorders, mixers, are all packed in a easy-to-use interface with historical accuracy.’ so says the blurb, but I’m still very far from mastering it or producing any satisfying sound on it what so ever! But I’m sure its possible.
