Summary
Strange Things Are Happening begins with the wonder of that rainbow, and continues with many escapades down the rabbit hole. From punk and the beginnings of the DIY scene, through Acid House, psychedelia, the rise of electronic dance music and much more, Richard Norris has been involved in countless countercultural revolutions. From misadventures in Amsterdam with Timothy Leary, with Sun Ra at customs, and Shaun Ryder in Joe Strummer's beaten up Cadillac in Tijuana, to his extraordinarily influential output in The Grid and Beyond The Wizards Sleeve, Richard Norris' story is one of collaboration and community, fuelled by relentless psychedelic curiosity.
Strange Things Are Happening is a record of a life lived in the moment, forever in thrall to discovery, exploration and innovation - the search for what lies at the other end of that rainbow.

A fascinating listen
It turns out that Richard Norris is a kind of Zelig figure. He seems to crop up remarkably often at crucial moments in modern musical history. This is full of fascinating stories and a lot of wonderful music. Highly recommended to anybody who enjoys music books and music history.

Electronic education
Fantastic overview of many things I missed in my teens. Works as an introduction and also a memoir with subjects and times that many heads will be familiar with . Like the best books, it’s sent me down rabbit holes into warrens of other artists , genres and movements.
