I won't comment on the All Music Guide b/c I had a lot to do with it, but
State of Bass was a pretty good read: not spectacular, but very
knowledgeable. Fortunately, it stayed away from the high-falutin' kind of
audio dissemination that quickly becomes painful to read. Good discography
too, broken down by era after every chapter.
I remember being disappointed by the focus on later jungle instead of prime
'92 hardcore, but there is quite a bit of history on how hardcore/jungle all
came together (a bit like Dan Sicko breaking down the state of Detroit
before Mojo/Cybotron).

NP: Panacea - Underground Superstardom --> great for reliving those heady
hardcore days...
