No no no.... A book can't hope to capture the interwoven, subtle threads of the late 80's onwards, where British, German, American, Scandinavian and everybody else influenced and were influenced by each other, or even the early stages where you can drag all sorts of influences out of the past century or more of music. This needs to be hypertextual, either on the Web or (how mid 90s) CD ROM. You'd be able to put in all the different opinions and let the reader decide. Any developers out there?

the hypertext-version exists... just look around in the net! On my pages I also provide a list of techno-related literature for those who like to see it black on white. And btw. it is also possible to skim through in one or more books. In contrary to the web and esp. to those CD-ROMs which are full with colorfull images and sound, books can provide more esential and refined information of a higher quality and volume (Who would read 10 pages about "Electro" online or on his screen from a CD-ROM?) best wishes from electron Sounds and Visions from the Wicked World of Electronic Dance Music http://music.city.de/wicked
