This looks like a very interesting book!
But, I was wondering, does this book offer more/extended information
than the website at www.allmusic.com ?
Other books about music I've enjoyed reading:
"Last Night a DJ saved my Life - The History of the Disc Jockey"
"FUNK - The Music, the People, and the Rhythm of The One"
Not exactly IDM-related, but if you like electronic/dance music
in general, these will probably appeal to you.
Anyone got other recommendations?
