I wouldn't really bother buying AMG's published material. You can find the
majority of the reviews on the web, which makes up the bulk of the book.
Not that their reviews are extremely insightful or helpful, either. The
bulk of the book is the reviews, not actual commentary or articles on
electronic music.
Additionally, although their categorization of musical styles and subsequent
definitions are mildly interesting, they don't provide much actual knowledge
about what it exactly is you're looking for.
About the only things I found worthwhile in this book were the musical
timelines and essays at the end, which comprised about 30 pages of an
otherwise massive tome.
There are better books on electronic music history and culture, if you put
in the time to find them whether it be on amazon's homepage or at your local
library.
