Reviews & Discussion
Arguably the first piece of electronic music to gain mainstream popularity (at least in the UK). It must have sounded pretty amazing back in 1963 when it was first heard heralding the TV show of the same name; its combination of futuristic electronic sounds with a highly whistle-able melody (and cunningly processed sound effects) was to exert an influence on many techno artists, notably Orbital (who covered it) and The Timelords (alias The KLF, et cetera, ad infinitum) who hit number one with a lunatic tribute disc.
