[1] After meeting Dougans, Cobain and Dougans both started discussing their shared interest in electronic music and began to work together on small projects; Cobain then left the college to build his own studio on an Enterprise Allowance Course and he and Dougans began to release tracks under aliases such as Mental Cube and Art Science Technology, some of these early singles would be compiled onto Earthbeat (1992).

Cobain first big collaboration with Dougans was on "Stakker Humanoid", which went on to be a chart hit at a time when acid house in particular was becoming popular.

The pair then released their first single as The Future Sound of London (FSOL) "Papua New Guinea" which also became a hit in clubs across Britain and the States.

The new incarnation of Amorphous Androgynous is very much Cobain's new vehicle for the expression of his energy[2] whilst still releasing their more electronic-based music as FSOL.

Cobain has stated that he is influenced philosophically by Laozi, Buddha and Jiddu Krishnamurti, and that he likes the bands Secret Chiefs 3, Mercury Rev and Simian among many others.
