Techno Style appears to have finally been published for the UK, but
now it is titled "Techno Style: The Album Cover Art". It is about 90%
Album art, plus a small flyer section, some pictures taken at raves
etc and a small, irrelevant "fashion" section. The cover is taken from
R&S' IOTD5. So is this different from the German (& US ?) impression?
I was a bit disappointed that the artwork appears to have been
imported from the real articles, not directly from the masters, and
there are a couple of errors (check the page with the pictures of
special packaging for at least two) and I was surprised not to find a
picture of the real R&S lightbox given that the LP Box set cover is on
the jacket and appears again inside.
But overall it's a nice book, worth (to me) the UKP20 it cost me, but
not as lavish and vibrant as Localiser 1.0, which in spite of being a
tad patchy and partly in German was easily worth the UKP25 or so it
cost.
Recommended, at least to those who like to look at artwork, and have
money to burn on things other than music...
