An Electric Storm is the debut album by the electronic music group White Noise. The idea for the album began with the bassist sound engineer David Vorhaus, who, inspired by the English musician and composer Delia Derbyshire's breakthrough work in creating early electronic music sounds and synthesizers for the pioneering BBC Radiophonic Workshop, collaborated with Derbyshire and the English composer Brian Hodgson to marry electronic sounds with contemporary late 1960s pop music rhythms and melodies.
Although not a commercial success on release, it has since become a cult favourite and has been especially influential on electronic musicians.
