This review is from: Techno Rebels: The Renegades of Electronic Funk (Paperback)

Sicko's coverage of Early techno and it's developments
is both thorough and entertaining. The subject matter is extremely ambitious, and yet he pulls it off.
A good painting of 80's subculture in terms of its social and musical aspects. Perhaps the best part of the book is the "Discography" at the end in which he lists scores of techno records with the artist, date, label, and availability.

This review is from: Techno Rebels: The Renegades of Electronic Funk (Paperback)

This book is very decent. It definitely tracks the growth of the techno scene and genre in America very well, especially for the techno enthusiast.
This book is NOT, however necessarily appropriate for the person who thinks "techno" means everything electronic. Techno is a specific genre of electronic music that does NOT include trance, hardcore, jungle/d'n'b, or whichever other genres people have been complaining about the lack of in this book. If you note the author's review, he clearly states that the book is first and foremost a chronicle of American techno music.
Good Job Mr. Sicko!

2.0 out of 5 stars Techno?
Is this a joke? Anyone in their right mind who spends enough time listening to electronica, would know that "techno" is its own genre of music in the electronic world... Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars A Waste Of Money
This is a very dull book. None of it describes any of the synthesizers or technology used to produce techno. The book is little more than a list of techno founders. Read more
