About this product
Product Information
Listening to the Music the Machines Make is the revolutionary story of electronic pop from 1978 to 1983, a true golden age of music. This definitive account explores how krautrock, disco, glam rock and punk inspired a new generation to rip up the rulebook and venture toward a new frontier of electronic music - one that laid the foundations for Hip-Hop, house, techno and beyond. Including an extensive collection of archive images throughout, Richard Evans's kaleidoscopic narrative draws on years of research, a plethora of archive press materials and the input of key figures, including Vince Clarke (Depeche Mode, Yazoo, Erasure), Martyn Ware (The Human League, B.E.F., Heaven 17) and Daniel Miller (The Normal, Mute Records). From the gritty and experimental to the camp and theatrical, this book charts the careers and impact of electronic pop's earliest innovators and luminaries, from Devo, The Normal, Telex and Cabaret Voltaire to Soft Cell, Gary Numan, OMD, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode.

A Classic Pop Magazine 'Editor's Choice' Book of 2022 A Blitzed Magazine Book of 2022 A Flood Magazine Best Music Book of 2023 'A remarkable account of one of the most important, inspiring and influential periods in British music history, written with passion, love and incredible attention to detail.' Daniel Miller (The Normal, Mute Records) 'Fascinating and insightful. An essential read.' Vince Clarke (Depeche Mode, Yazoo, Erasure) 'A scroll of chronological, interwoven but often disparate stories featuring every purveyor of synthpop you can possibly think of... a must-read.' Record Collector, 4* 'Evans's meticulous research is synthesised into a lively and informative narrative that finally grants the genre the respect that it deserves.' Classic Pop Magazine, 5* 'Richard Evans's extensive research into electronic pop music shines a light upon the essential element of musical culture: human creativity.' Karl Bartos (Kraftwerk) 'A comprehensive and highly readable overview of a once-future... Evans has a warm, savvy approach, long on detail, with good humour.' MOJO, 4* 'What a book.' Blitzed Magazine 'Highly entertaining and obsessively brilliant. Required reading for all lovers of intelligent electronic pop music.' Martyn Ware (The Human League, British Electric Foundation, Heaven 17) 'Highly anticipated... as a book which dissects the "golden age" of British music between 1977-1983, it's a must-read.' Electronic Sound 'Meticulously researched... this book is essential.' SPIN 'The definitive history of electronic pop. Thoroughly enjoyable and fascinating.' Andy Bell (Erasure) '[It] would have been a great read if it had only listed the achievements of the inventors and creators, but Evans has combined his authoritative research with his genuine passion for the records themselves.' Outside Left, 4* 'Cleverly combines impressive research with an effortless and enjoyable readability, and is surely destined to become the definitive final word on this subject.' The Afterword 'I read this from start to finish and there were some things about Soft Cell even I never knew. A riveting read.' Dave Ball (Soft Cell, The Grid) 'It's the way that Evans weaves and knits these familiar names into such a rich and enormous tapestry that makes the book stand out... Highly recommended.' Louder Than War 'A narrative that's as factual as it is fascinating.' Flood Magazine 'Like going down a blissful rabbit hole into the electronic music revolution.' Rusty Egan (Visage) 'A thorough, well-executed delight for fans of the electronic music genre and puts together all the pieces of information together... in the correct sequence, with myths dissolved and facts confirmed.' We Are Cult 'Commendable as an essential reference work and a thoughtful and affectionate in-depth examination of a vital musical genre.' Popmatters 'A much-needed synthesis of the stories told by the charts and music press in the early days of UK electronic pop ... an excellent review of the dynamics at work in the culture of the time.'

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
