My notes from the early Eighties included acknowledgements for the early stages of research to: William Burroughs, Brion Gysin, Academy of Fundemental Findings, Gurdieff, Bill Butler, Jacky Lansley, Richard Coldman and Greg Bright. Later I was inspired by (and highly critical of) Raoul Vaneigem's Book of Pleasures (orig Paris 1979). I read the Pending Press edition translated by John Fullerton c1984.
