Escape Pods - a musical journey through the cosmos. 
Hosted by Ben Randm & Ralph Lawson 

Each episode a guest is offered an Escape Pod to leave our world behind. We ask them what music they’d put on their headphones as they; Blast Off, Experience Zero G, Flyby The Planets and make Final Contact before venturing on to discover Alien Worlds. We ask them to select a piece of music for our Escape Pods Platinum Disc and an experience of Planet Earth to take with them on their journey. 

Turn on, tune in, space out...

Delia Derbyshire & Barry Bermange - Invention for Radio 
“No.1:  The Dreams (original mono recording 1963)”  - The Sorcery Remastering Project
This remastering project can not be considered a totally faithful rendering from the original source as the only copy in existence has background radio interference, distortion, and sound phasing (probably due to dirty tape heads and/or damaged magnetic tape) to name but a few. To compound things further, it sounds like the original recording was recorded on a domestic recorder (probably recorded at three and three quarter inches per second)
To compare and contrast you can hear the existing recording here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdJS5PU1Ztw
This recording is for educational and historical purposes only.
