Strange Things Are Happening

£12.99

Leafy St Albans is an unlikely starting point for one of the great psychedelic/acid house musicians of his generation, but, like so many others who brought radical change to the counterculture, Richard Norris’ story starts in the suburbs. ‘Strange Things Are Happening’ documents his journey from punk through the emerging DIY indie culture to producing the UK’s first acid house album, Jack the Tab; being one of the only unsigned artists to grace the cover of NME, to being one of the first faces on the scene at Shoom and Spectrum during the 1988 Summer of Love; finding international fame with The Grid in the early 90s, to working with Joe Strummer and a cast of thousands as a remixer, writer and producer.

‘A revelation. Richard Norris lived the twentieth century and beyond like no one else . . . this is one of the truly great eyewitness accounts of the counterculture’ DAVID KEENAN

‘A dazzling psychedelic memoir’ CAUGHT BY THE RIVER

‘Makes you feel like getting up and doing something!’ WENDY ERSKINE

As a pioneering musician, producer and DJ, Richard Norris has been at the forefront of countless creative revolutions, from punk to acid house, psychedelia to the rise of EDM. In Strange Things Are Happening, this icon of the counterculture pulls back the curtain on decades of restless curiosity and boundary-pushing collaboration. Featuring cameos from Timothy Leary, Sun Ra, Shaun Ryder, Joe Strummer and more, this is at once an unmissable cultural history and a celebration of life lived in the moment, forever in thrall to discovery.
