Rachel Cooke New Statesman Above all, I thought it was so clever, the way that Catz's film mirrors aspects of its homespun, meagerly funded subject. May 19, 2021 Full Review Carol Midgley Times (UK) However, in tone you felt it was a tribute that Derbyshire, whose tapes were discovered in cereal boxes in 2001, shortly after her death, would have enjoyed. Like her, it was unconventional. Rated: 3/5 May 17, 2021 Full Review Rebecca Nicholson Guardian This is a wonderfully inventive piece of storytelling that celebrates the strange brilliance of a mysterious pioneer of electronic music. Rated: 4/5 May 17, 2021 Full Review Paul Kirkley Radio Times Katz's film beautifully captures this lost analogue world of sine wave oscillators and magnetic tape, and the delightfully archaic nature by which the Workshop's technicians created the sounds of the future. Rated: 4/5 May 17, 2021 Full Review Oscar Goff Boston Hassle The result is often disorienting ... but also mesmerizing. Mar 26, 2021 Full Review Rachel Reeves Consequence The expansive and influential impact Delia Derbyshire has had on the world of electronic music cannot be undersold; and yet somehow, Caroline Catz's clearly passionate visual cinematic art installation does.
