Yep, that's the one. I really appreciate how thorough and critical it is of capitalism so far. I definitely recommend checking it out. I was looking for books on zeuhl or avant-prog—specifically books on Magma—but came across this. Immediately downloaded it on my Kindle. Last edited by TockTockTock; 06-15-2020 at 09:24 AM. |

Have you read Chris Cutler's "File Under Popular"? I could see you digging it.

The book is well-researched and well-written,
so it's a joy to read and to learn some insights into their very serious thinking (sometimes as a detriment) during those days. I think there were something like nearly a hundred interviews and various sources compiled. I've had a nasty exchange with Cutler that's soured me on him (plus he has some artistic philosophies that I don't agree with), but I'm happy to see what Hodgkinson has since done musically - especially his support for Romanian Spectralism. |

I always expected Cutler to be a bit of a dick.
Love him as musician though, although I agree that Hodgkinson has been more interesting in the last decades.

Well, I don’t think it’s healthy to rake him over the coals again,
but it was something having to do with Richard Pinhas that had some unnecessary dickishness. Still, his influence on my young life was pretty immense and I can certainly keep things separate in my mind when it comes to his instrumental prowess. |
