Nikki St George = Brian Hodgson

Electrosonic is an album of “Library samples of electronic music for radio, TV and film industry.” In the GLOSPOT1104 sleeve notes, John Cavanagh gives a loving and entertaining portrait of Delia and the circumstances surrounding the album's creation. Brian Hodgson says: Don was an Australian mood music composer. [...] I felt uncomfortable working with Don. At our first meeting he was pleasant enough, but I just felt he was using Delia and I to do something he couldn't do himself. [...] Harper got up my nose a lot, so I really kept out of it as much as I could. [...] There were some of my things which I just said to Don "have this" and gave him tracks, but I would say my contribution to it was much less than either Delia or Don's. According to the Performing Right Society's database, KPM received 50% of the royalties, Harper 25% and Delia and Brian 12.5% each.

Most tracks seem to consist of a Delian backing with Harper making discordant noises over them but The Pattern Emerges, Liquid Energy (b) and Celestial Cantabile sound like pure Delia.
