Has anyone read "The Ambient Century?" If you haven't than don't. Most of it is extremely speculative pop crap. This is supposed to be a history of ambient and he devotes a portion of the book to Sonic Youth, the only problem is he only references to "Daydream Nation." Sonic Youth put out some great ambient minimalist music before this album but it is nowhere to be mentioned. He claims that the Chemical Brothers were orriginally the Dust Brothers. He says the Dust Brothers met in 1989 but that is the year they put out the Beastie Boys album, "Pauls Boutique." He claims there first cd was in 1992. The only IDM artist he mentions is Aphex Twin and he claims that after the 2 SAW's he sold out to making other stuff. This book would be good if it was accurate and had more information on different music.
