5.0 out of 5 stars
Wake Up Amazon!,
By
This review is from: Modern Music: A Concise History from Debussy to Boulez (World of Art) (Paperback)
Would someone at Amazon please wake up to the fact that the book "Modern Music" by Paul Griffiths and the CD "Modern Music" by some dumb rock outfit called Be Bop Deluxe have absolutely nothing to do with one another?! My stars are for the book, which is an insightful and comprehensive (also very well written) intro to real music in the late 20th century. It's a sad world when the glowing reviews of mediocre beat music take over a book covering the very real, profound and meaningful art music so sadly being utterly and universally neglected. And for no other reason than that the outfit in question gave their attempt a name it does not deserve (there is nothing modern about the popular jungle rhythms that dominate most conventional fare). Buy this book and leave the inarticulate sound-jungle behind you forever!
