'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.

Richard Norris is a musician, producer and DJ, who made his first record in the post-punk, DIY era, aged 14. At the dawn of acid house, he co-produced the legendary album Jack The Tab, before forming The Grid with Soft Cell's Dave Ball, whose tracks include the Balearic classic 'Floatation' and the million-selling 'Swamp Thing'. His innovative Beyond The Wizards Sleeve project with Erol Alkan, alongside his hundreds of psychedelic, dub, ambient and electronic mixes and collaborations, are testimony to a lifetime at the forefront of music and the counterculture.
