Books on Techno

[SlavikSvensk]

just curious what people have read and what they think.

for me...

Last Night a DJ...

okay on djing, but horrible section on techno

Techno Rebels...

some interesting stories about the early days, but poorly written and too detroit-o-centric (and keep in mind i love old detroit techno)

Energy Flash

liked the Chicago house chapter, mostly thought the author is a doofus.

i should have called this "books about electronic dance music with some info on techno"

The All Music Guide to Electronica.

More of a companion than a good read. Just like a labrador.

Generation Ecstasy


Excellent book....still havent finished it, but it definitely is very in depth. (probably why I havent finished it....very slow read-at least for me ;))

I would like to get my hands on most of the previuosly mentioned books, but can't. :neutral:

anyway..this is what I can recommend..

Techno:the rough guide by Tim Barr.. if there will be new edition,I hope they'll put more european artists too..

and yeah, not a book, but a documentary, called "Modulations"
