Stuart chats to Ian Helliwell, composer, instrument builder and author of Tape Leaders: A Compendium of Early British Electronic Composers. Focusing on analogue electronics from the 1950s - 1970s, Tape Leaders celebrates the unsung heroes of British electronic music history as well as more well known figures like Delia Derbyshire and David Bedford.

Plus the featured album is Holgar Czukay's Movies, his second solo album after Can and there's new music from Autechre, Legendary Pink Dots and Circuit Des Yeux's new project Jackie Lynn.
