It hardly surprises me to hear traces of Radiophonic Workshop-inspired motifs in contemporary film scores, but recently it struck me that a lot of John Williams' work seems to draw on those early influences.
Browsing the WikiDelia page the other day, I came across Delia Derbyshire's Aztec series, and, while listening to 'Exquisite Featherwork', began to think -- where have I heard this before? Eventually the Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone soundtrack inevitably came to mind, and particularly the track below. It's always given me the creeps. Perhaps John Williams was inspired by Delia's work?
