Julian Cope came to prominence as singer of Liverpool (UK) pop band The Teardrop Explodes in 1980. He has since released many solo albums, two volumes of autobiography and a large and comprehensive book (The Modern Antiquarian) detailing stone circles and ancient monuments in the British Isles. This book was followed in 2004 with a study of monuments across much of Europe entitled The Megalithic European.
