Louis Niebur's notes

DD206 Top Gear (John Peel) (is this TRW 7098? It’s missing if so)
:00 Stereo, slow synth lines. Diatonic pedals.
:49 John Peel’s voice enters. His voice is treated outrageously,
2:18 voice emerges untreated
2:31 voice with echo returns, and cut and pasted in different order. Replays the same texted section with different treatments
4:03 untreated JP talking, completely untreated. (you can hear Brian’s voice in background)
4:39 reassembled tape, leading into the first version of the tape without treatment.
5:54 opening music (slow synth lines) – no voice. Ends 8:10
8:10 extreme vocal treatment and electronic processing. Ends 9:21
9:24 electronic opening music again
10:14 extreme vocal treatment and electronic processing.
11:25 electronic opening music again.
13:11 new electronic music, with what sounds like a plucked guitar. Ends 14:10
14:15 test tone for pitch-raising, followed by voice treatment, with the voice rising.
15:32 electronic melody, with echo, then with vibrato, descending.
16:04 repeating electronic loop (like Buchla)
16:54 lower pitched texture, like slowed down sirens with wind blowing
