Discographies: Dance Music, Culture, and the Politics of Sound

Summary: A World of Music, Drugs and Pacifiers.
Review: Think Sociological text. This book discusses many of the finer aspects of dance culture in an almost clinical manor by someone intigrated in the culture. However this book will take some time to read unless you read a great deal at college level. This book has the ability to not only converse but help define and expound on the intangables derived by the activities associated with dance/raving. A very good book however for me a somewhat slow read. The bibleographies after each chapter is probably worth the cost of the book alone. Keep Movin'!

Review: This book was required for my Audio Visual Arts class at LSU. I had know idea there was such a book. Discographies catagorizes each type of dance music, (ie: House,Jungle,Trance), describing its roots and history.
I highly recommend this book for the avid music listener. This book is great addition to anyones library. It may come in handy someday when you explain to your children, why you are messed up in the head.
