Summary: A very interesting and informative book
Review: I was very impressed with Chris Cutler's book. This man is a professional drummer and has been involved in the European musical scene since the 60's. He obviously has a passion for his craft and has accumulated a great deal of experience and knowledge of "popular" music in general.

The chapters on Pink Floyd's founder Syd Barrett and the Sun Ra Arkestra were especially interesting and illuminating. I have enjoyed the work of both of these men for several years and Cutler's thoughts on their music and vision has helped me to understand and appreciate their work on a higher level.

If you admire either one of these artists, or just quality rock and jazz in general, I highly recommend this book.
