last copies around....A collection of Horror-Electronics, supernatural soundscapes and   sinister library muzak from Australian composer Don Harper. Centring on   the library music re-recording of the 1968 Doctor Who soundtrack The   Invasion (A dark otherworldly Sci-Fi jazz suite) Cold Worlds is also a  focus on the electronic music of this largely unsung composer. 
Like   many Australian film composers (Ron Grainer, Dudley Simpson, Don  Banks)  Don Harper based himself in the UK during the 1960s and  subsequently  found employment at the BBC and other British film and  library  companies. Probably best known for his BBC scores for World of  Sport, Sexton Blake and The Inside Man, Harper  also immersed himself in  the world of electronics. Acknowledged as a  virtuoso jazz violinist, he  notably produced a 1974 electronic/altered  jazz session for Lansdowne  Studios titled Homo Electronicus (Featuring  Norma Winstone and other  progressive UK jazz musicians). 
In  addition to cutting a number  of library sessions for Joseph  Weinburger’s Impress label, in which  several tracks were later famously  sampled by MF Doom, he also co-wrote  the music (alongside Delia  Derbyshire and David Vorhaus) for the  essential Radiophonic KPM  recording Electrosonic. Also, featured on this  compilation are his nightmarish cues used in George Romero’s cult  zombie classic Dawn of the Dead.
