-"Choice, April 2000

Synopsis
Experiencing disco, hip hop, house, techno, drum 'n' bass and garage, Discographies plots a course through the transatlantic dance scene of the last last twenty-five years. Tracing the history of ideas about music and dance in Western culture and the ways in which dance music is produced and received, the authors assess the importance and relevance of dance culture in the 1990s and beyond. Discographies considers the formal, aesthetic and political characteristics of dance music. It discusses the problems posed by contemporary dance culture of both academic and cultural study and finds these origins in the history of opposition to music as a source of sensory pleasure. Discussing such issues as technology, club space. drugs, the musical body, gender, sexuality and pleasure, Discographies explores the ecstatic experiences at the heart of contemporary dance culture. It suggests why politicians and agencies as diverse as the independent music press and public broadcasting should be so hostile to this cultural phenomenon.

Von Rich Fuester
Format:Taschenbuch
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'!

A World of Music, Drugs and Pacifiers.

Format:Taschenbuch
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.
