The classic account of ambient music, with a new foreword by Michel Faber

David Toop's extraordinary work of sonic history travels from the rainforests of Amazonas to the megalopolis of Tokyo via the work of artists as diverse as Brian Eno, Sun Ra, Erik Satie, Kate Bush, Kraftwerk and Brian Wilson.

Beginning in 1889 at the Paris exposition when Debussy first heard Javanese music performed, Ocean of Sound channels the competing instincts of 20th century music into an exhilarating, path-breaking account of ambient sound.

Great

Honestly half the time I was reading it I had almost no idea what was going on and I mean that as the highest compliment. Part stream of consciousness, part dream journal, part interviews and memoirs and history. Can't wait to read it again.
