The Synth & Electronic Recording Exchanges
The Synth And Electronic Recording Exchanges is an album released in 2019 by Martin Hannett which claims to be the fruit of a series of tapes exchanged between him and Delia.
Some of the tapes that Delia and Martin Hannett exchanged in the 1970 were released as an album, which is
supposedly a back and forth, one track from Delia then one by Martin, but the sequencing feels arbitrary and a bit of a mess, skipping from Hannett’s baroque twills to dark blasts of sci-fi analog electronics and back, over and again.[1]
In fact, it consists almost entirely of tracks from Electrosonic and ripped from Wendy Carlos' albums though tracks 7 and 16 may be something new.

The Hannett's tracks are mostly Wendy Carlos-like versions of traditional themes
