| Summary | Annotation Electronic music was initiated by visionary artists, maverick technicians, nonconformist composers and bohemian freaks. It provided an outlet for experimentation and non-mainstream ideas about culture, sexuality, gender roles and more - inspiring a myriad of new styles. Acclaimed writer Matthew Collin explores the genre's evolution from avant-garde experiments after World War II through psychedelia, art-rock, dub and electro-pop to sampling and the techno era. As well as profiling the key players who pioneered new forms, it documents the scenes and underground movements in electronic music's formative decades and its impact on British cultural life. Dream Machines is a social history, an expansive guide and a love letter to electronic music. |
