its impossible to overstate how futuristic this sound was. i remember a few of us taking ghetto blasters into school and i would usually rock a tape with the twelve inch versions of 19. they were the days man.

Still reminds of my favourite time of the evening. Thursday at 7.30pm BBC 1 I would be sitting on my chair after doing my homework, ready for this tune The Wizard, top of the pop's, brill, can't beat it.
@rjjcms1
It became the Top of the Pops theme in too late an era for Wizzard to be featured.
@johnmichel4865
Yes. Followed by Tomorrow's World with Maggie Philbin and a bloke called Howard.

When music can transport you back to a happy time on a Thursday night at 7:30 on BBC1 when Tomorrow's World had just ended and Top of the Pops had just began
@stephenmcinerney9457
...surely that time-transporting was Doctor Who's department.... :)
@rjjcms1
Or even when Tomorrow's World was just starting.
@tdhprestatyn
With the sound on Radio 1 FM

Back to happier times when nobody knew the BBC was populated by nonces.

Fantastic electronic tune with a complex beat. Never gets old.
