White Noise’s An Electric Storm (1969), created by David Vorhaus, Delia Derbyshire, and Brian Hodgson, was a groundbreaking electronic album that influenced artists like Aphex Twin and Chemical Brothers. Recorded unofficially at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, it stood out amid a year of musical experimentation and rising independent labels, notably Island Records. Unlike typical rock acts, White Noise’s members were electronic music pioneers, making An Electric Storm a landmark fusion of rock and avant-garde sounds.
