  David Toop (1949 - )   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
David Toop is arguably the most intelligent music critic writing today, his range of interests prospecting across an avant garde canvas coloured by the 20th century's foremost writers, thinkers and musicians.
Although Toop's subject is predominantly that of fabricated soundscapes in a real world, a music which has come to be categorised as exotica, his roots are literary and extend to novelistic cosmographers like Herman Melville, Joseph Conrad and William Burroughs.
David Toop is a marvellous guide to the curious, the bizarre, the culted and the durable in 20th century music.

And this is a typical example of Toop’s world, one where people record the noises plants make, the tiniest sounds incorporated into soundscapes, sound installations and music.
Toop himself grew up near an ordinance factory, from where explosions could be heard from time to time.
Toop is an enthusiastic guide, leading us through this strange world that often seems like an alternative reality, perhaps because it’s so far from the manufactured pop that dominates the music shops.

 David Toop interview
If I had to name a few books on music that were essential reading, one of them would have to be David Toop's OCEAN OF SOUND.
Toop's work is an amazing exploration of ambient/immersion music that ranges from Sun Ra to Jon Hassell to Erik Satie to Tibet monks to Herbie Hancock to Aphex Twin and on and on.
Not just the breadth of the work but the way that Toop is able to tie together all these threads through stories, interviews, reveries is inspiring.

 Amazon.com: Ocean of Sound: Books: David Toop   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
David Toop is both a musician and writer, having done ambient music, dub music with the likes of Prince Far I, and of course numerous written articles on ambient and experimental aspects of popular music.
I'd have to say that this book is perhaps one of the definitive studies on this musical genre, covering the aesthetics, listening practica, concepts, influences, directions, and so on of this growing musical field in a very inclusive and insightful style.
It is not a linear survey thru time, but rather this book reminds me of a map which Toop rolls around visiting here and there with a few jumps now and then as he discusses how in the last 100 years "music has reflected the world back to itself and to its listeners".
