This books paints a good picture of the story of Techno,
By
This review is from: Techno Rebels: The Renegades of Electronic Funk (Paperback)
Some critisicm has been levered at this book for not covering many of the european elements of 'techno' ie. gabba, trance - but that would be the musical equivalent of expecting a critique of rock to include a discussion on the merits of steps, boyzone or abba. This book keeps to the key elements of the music and pays the due homage to Detroit that this city deserves as the spiritual home of techno (not forgetting the outstanding contribution of kraftwerk). It covers all the key aspects of techno that will influence its evolution in to the 21st century. Intelligent, interesting - excellent!

Good techno backgrounder and reference guide,
By A Customer
This review is from: Techno Rebels: The Renegades of Electronic Funk (Paperback)
I ordered this book the moment I got a notification from the Betalounge.com. Techno Rebels gives a historical overview of the origins of techno including detailed descriptions of the major players. Interesting details like pictures of "Techno Boulevard", Inner City's Saunderson (someone's music I always have admired) organizational talent to bring the right people (writers/singers) together to bring techno to the masses (allways thought Kevin did all the writing by himself). Even if you're not much of a reader, the last part of the books gives a reference of influential techno records together with availability info. As these records get re-released it will be fun to dig these songs up again. It's nice to see that someone took up the job to write this book and succeeded very well.

A true guide to techno!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Techno Rebels: The Renegades of Electronic Funk (Paperback)
This book has been written for someone like myself who thought I knew everything about techno and I have to keep re-reading pages the facts are just so incerdible! It has also been written by someone who has not excluded the people who know nothing about music. There is no snobbery involved with the compiling of this essential info.
