✅ Ambient book: Ocean of Sound (1995)

Post by Pierre »

This book was written by David Toop. Wikipedia:

David Toop (born 5 May 1949) is an English musician and author, and professor and chair of audio culture and improvisation at the London College of Communication. He was notably a member of The Flying Lizards. He was a prominent contributor to the British magazine The Face. He is a regular contributor to The Wire, a British music magazine.

The complete title of the book is: Ocean of Sound: Aether Talk, Ambient Sound and Imaginary Worlds; and it was released in 1995.

According to a comment on amazon, the list of albums is featured in appendix, I found the list here:
http://rateyourmusic.com/list/dacapo/am ... avid_toop/

If I understand correctly, it's unranked. The albums seem to be classed in alphabetical order of the author, but when it's a compilation of various artists or a soundtrack, it's inserted as if the title of the album was the name of the artist. To make things even more confusing, RYM sometimes disagree about who the album should be credited to.
