A third album, the single track 'space fantasy' White Noise III - Re-Entry was released by Pulse Records in 1980.
The album further utilized the EMS VCS 3, as well as prototype sequencers. It was recorded in his own studio in Camden, North London. Peter Kember of Spacemen 3 included 'Firebird' on his 2004 curated compilation Spacelines.įollowing the departure of Derbyshire and Hodgson, to pursue other projects, Vorhaus released a second album, the largely instrumental White Noise 2 - Concerto for Synthesizer on Virgin Records in 1974. Although not initially commercially successful for Island, the album is now considered an important and influential album in the development of electronic music, namechecked by contemporary artists like The Orb and Julian Cope, influencing contemporary acts such as Broadcast, Add N to (X), and Secret Chiefs 3. Amongst many oddities, the first track on the album, Love Without Sound, employed sped-up tape edits of Vorhaus playing the double bass to create violin and cello sounds. The album was created using a variety of tape manipulation techniques, and used the first British synthesizer, the EMS Synthi VCS3. In June 1969 White Noise released the groundbreaking album An Electric Storm on Island Records.
