Couples don't come much odder than a cast-iron snooker legend of the 1980s and a British Iranian sometime member of Cardiacs and Gong. But, having met at an intimate Paris gig by French prog stalwarts Magma, Steve Davis and Kavus Torabi bonded over a mutual love of leftfield music and one thing led to another: DJ slots, a co-hosted radio show and, most recently, a creative collaboration in the form of The Utopia Strong (also featuring Mike J York).
And now the pair are set to publish a book together. Billed as a "joint autobiography" that is "part sonic memoir, part Socratic dialogue, part gonzo mission to the heart of what makes music truly psychedelic", Medical Grade Music promises to be another notable coup for the White Rabbit imprint - and another improbable step in Davis' post-snooker career.
