    4.0 out of 5 stars Could you be any cooler??
    Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2001
    AMG's voluminous electronic music directory is cogent and exhaustive, sure to be a delight for the style's fans and non-fans alike. Fans will love this book for its thoroughness, its uber-cool, authoritative air and for its immense lack of humor, all of which seem reflective of the scene(s) it seeks to document. Non-fans will be delighted by the intensive devotion to ephemera and the belligerently academic tone which seeks to browbeat outsiders into accepting the worldview of a musical movement that hails each club opening as the birth of a new subgenre. Hundreds of artists and dozens of styles are outlined and their histories detailed with absolute, messianic precision. While AMG's level of writing is superior to most of its contemporaries, the tone is no less smug or evangelical; the sense of being intellectually bludgeoned will seem familiar to those of us who have watched the rise of electronica with wry but aggrieved detatchment. (Yes, I'm sure you love the stuff, but do you have to devote so much energy to coercing the rest of us into adopting your point of view?) All kidding aside, this book will be a definitive resource for years to come. Anyone interested in understanding the growth and self-perceptions of the electronic music cult will find this book invaluable.

    But that, of course, isn't really this particular book's fault, but rather the reality for any printed survey of a topic that's constantly evolving. Like previous reviewers have said, you might want to just checkout the allmusic web site, unless you're a freakishly obsessed collector or are using a gift certificate and feeling a little more free than usual with what you buy (like me).

    1.0 out of 5 stars Definitive Guide?!? Nah!!!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2003
    I picked up that book a while ago, thinking I had found some sort of Holy Grail. Reality check! This so-called definitive guide is so full of errors, omissions and such that even the most braindead raver could have made a better job! Not to mention that most of the bands/artists discography is incomplete.
    Being a life-long fan of electronic music (especially of Industrial & EBM) I couldn't help but noticed some insanities. Here a few.
    1) Straight in the beginning of the book ("Brief Style Description" > Industrial Dance"). The authors are mentioning Front 242 (cool!)... but guess what? There is no entry for Front 242 in the "Definitive Guide"!!! Yeah, who cares about those belgians innovators who coined the style known as EBM (Electronic Body Music)? Laughable.
    2) Now go to the Skinny Puppy entry. What's wrong with it? Read the first paragraph carefully. cEvin Key is listed as "the former singer of Images In Vogue". What??? That's new to me... I thought I heard Mr. Crompton himself said he only been the drummer (to pay the rent). Thanks guys to enlighten me. cEvin, you lied to us all Puppy fans!
    3) Anyone remember the late Frank Tovey? You know, that guy from UK who made quite a sensation in the 80s on the electro scene? No? Fad Gadget was the name of his band... on Mute Records. Yep, sharing the slot with Depeche Mode... Remember now? Ok, another hint, his live performances were totally wild and his music minimalist? Well... don't worry if you don't remember, the authors didn't do any good either.
    4) A tricky one now. Who inspired Wumpscut, Allied Vision, Leather Strip, Hocico and another handful of dark electro-industrial bands? They were german. No, not Kraftwerk. Another try? yelworC!!! But they doesn't count since they only released a handful of tapes, singles, and a full lenght album & an anthology before one of the former member left to create amGod. But I bet you never heard of them either. Nevermind, neither the authors of The Definitive Guide.
    5) Talking about obscure bands, the authors did a remarkable job at ignoring Klinik, whom dark icy minimalist electro-industrial muzak didn't make much of a difference on the scene in the 80s.
    and the list drags on forever on multiple levels.
    The only point worth mentioning about this joke book is the efort the authors deployed to describe styles of electronic music, put them in categories and draw tables showing off ramifications. That alone prevail me from throwing the book away.
    Let's all consume large amount of MDMA and let's read the electronic bible while reading entries about obscure DJs that shaped the present music (and the one to come)!
