Acid flashbacks

If you've ever wondered how the countercultural momentum shifted from punk to electronic music (and acid house in particular), then you could do worse than trace Richard Norris' career. The man himself does it for you in Strange Things Are Happening, the latest publication from the White Rabbit stable.

There are, inevitably, tales of excess and erratic behaviour, but this is no crude warts 'n' all memoir. Norris arguably bucks the trend by placing greater emphasis on the dynamics, delights and disappointments of musical collaboration and the general joy of creativity.

Buzz review here.
