"Time Beat" was the first commercial release from the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. It was credited to the pseudonym "Ray Cathode", actually Maddalena Fagandini and future Beatles producer George Martin. The song was actually a reworking of an earlier interval signal created by Fagandini. The original track was later featured on the compilation BBC Radiophonic Workshop - 21. The B-side to the single was "Waltz in Orbit", also credited to Ray Cathode.
