Customer Reviews
Excellent!
I purchased this book as a last minute "panic buy" to use for referencing on an assignment on 80's synth pop! The information is relevant and concise and the references and analytical content were incredibly helpful. Besides helping me back up the vast majority of my report it as also a very interesting read (in all honesty electronic music makes for a thoroughly engrossing study). If you are remotely interested in electronic music of any kind BUY THIS BOOK!!! (Especially if you're a music student)
