God Save The King! First-ever computer music recording restored

Two researchers from New Zealand have successfully restored the first recording of computer-generated music, which was created on a giant machine built by Alan Turing. The huge computer, which filled most of the floor at a laboratory in Manchester, is said to have paved the way for modern electronica and synthesisers. The University of Canterbury's Jack Copeland and composer Jason Long took on the task of restoring the recording because the audio on the 12-inch acetate disc was badly distorted.
