Drew Daniel

Opis

In 20 Jazz Funk Greats Drew Daniel (of the experimental band Matmos) creates--through both his own insights and exclusive interviews with the band--an exploded view of the album's multiple agendas: a series of close readings of each song, shot through with a sequence of thematic entries on key concepts, strategies, and contexts (noise, leisure, process, the abject, information, and repetition). This is a smart and unusual book about a pioneering band.

Recenzje

Daniel brings erudition and clarity to the 33 1/3 series with writing that's both meticulous and giddy...Daniel achieves a fantastic hat trick-- a love letter to an unacceptable band about their least-loved album in a book series that, until recently, was reserved only for acceptable albums. Let the wrecking of civilization begin. Brian Joseph David Eye Weekly
