I'm just finishing it now, an excellent book. Stan, my favourite piece of music writing is probably Kodwo Eshun's More Brilliant Than The Sun, though it may not be to everyone's taste. Google his name for examples of his thinking. Modulations is very patchy, starts out well but has some really crappy bits. David Toop's Ocean Of Sound and Haunted Weather, though by no means purely electronic are also very interesting reads. Cheers, Colin. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Hi, thanks to everyboday who recommended books, sites, articels, etc on Electronic Music Reading. I am especially happy for the recommendation of "Audio Culture: Readings in Modern Music." I got the book today and just from browsing through for one hour I must say that it is a highly informative textbook - I am really looking forward to indulge in it. Thanks to Philip Sherburne, who recommended the book on this mailinglist and, of course, to everybody else for their many contributions. I am prone to read loads of stuff, so maybe it is time for a second round. Let's say web-based only?
