Get it. A good chunk of the reviews/discographies are actually written
by John Bush who's a member of this list (or used to be anyway). Covers
a lot of ground, most of which you'll probably find relevant. Even
mentions non-electronica acts such as Godspeed You Black Emperor! My
only problem with it is that many of the reviews are a bit too glowing.
The guys who wrote it obviously love the music, but I would have
prefered the reviews to be a bit more critical.
While we're on the subject of books, I'm in the middle of reading Jeff
Noon's lastest Needle In The Groove. Deserves a mention on this list not
only because he gives credit to Pole, Plastikman and Sonic Youth
Research, but I think quite a lot of people find it interesting. Takes a
new slant on the cut-up technique by 'remixing' previous chapters. Also
funny are some of the place names in his version of Manchester, State
808 Place being one that springs to mind :-)
