A few years ago I spoke to Victor Szabo, the Assistant Professor of Music at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, for his book about ambient music, Turn On, Tune In, Drift Off. We covered the Telepathic Fish and Megatripolis parties in London in the early to mid 90s and the re-emergence of ambient music in a new form for a new generation. The finished book just arrived and you can find a copy here, published by Oxford University Press.

I’ve also just found out that the photo above was taken by my old art college friend and former flat mate, Andy Eccleston, he saw the photo on Facebook and recognised that he’d taken it that day, mystery solved. We both went to Camberwell College in the early nineties and shared a flat for a couple of years after I moved out of the East Dulwich house in the photo. He assisted photographer Simon Larbelestier for a number of years and currently has a penchant for modular synths.
