“Papua New Guinea” is a 1991 song by the electronic music group Future Sound of London. It was the group’s debut single and later appeared on their full-length album Accelerator. The single reached #22 on the UK singles chart.
Garry Cobain described himself as being “bit of an indie kid” in the mid 1980s, being a fan of the Manchester-based Factory Records acts such as Joy Division. Cobain reflected in 2006 that he had played guitar but was “never very good, and I’m still not very good at it.”
This led Cobain going to the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. At the school he met Brian Dougans who was studying sound recording and was also a fan of Factory Records bands like A Certain Ratio. Cobain described Dougans as “I was well envious of Brian, and he was also a couple of years older, which seemed to be very significant when I was in my late teens. He was very much a guiding force, and he was also extremely charismatic.” Dougans was producing music for bands but after dance music became popular in the United Kingdom he began working on tracks like “Stakker Humanoid”. Cobain stated that he managed to get money working at Heathrow Airport, through his landlord and through the Enterprise Allowance Scheme leading him to develop his own music, and that after Dougans “ran into some trouble”, they teamed up to become the group that would develop into Future Sound of London.
