This wee encyclopedia of non-traditional behavior is a charming and enlightening review of people that for far too long have gone unnoticed and underappreciated.From this point,I began to expand my music and video collection,something I'd given up. Buy multiple copies & give as gifts!

This review is from: Re/Search 6/7: Industrial Culture Handbook (Paperback)

This book has a great introduction by music journalist Jon Savage, but I found the articles/interviews a bit too academic, overlong and quite literally, exhausting. It's hard to believe this book was published 17 years ago - industrial music as a genre only became really popular in the early 90s with Ministry, Nine Inch Nails etc. Of these artists Throbbing Gristle, Chris & Cosey, Cabaret Voltaire, Non, Monte Cazazza, SPK, Z'ev and Johanna Went are listed here on amazon.com. The Reference section at the end of each article is wonderful -- I especially love the Library of Genesis P. Orridge. There is a useful index and an enticing Re/Search Catalog at the end. Those who like confrontational artists like Lydia Lunch, Clint Catalyst and Michelle Tea will find much to appreciate here. This book should be read together with Tape Delay, published at the same time but now hard-to-find and not even listed on amazon. All in all, one of the best Re/Search publications.
