Isn't this the same book that at the end Simon Reynolds claims that Big
Beat is going to be the lifesaver of dance music?

-> He kept making a point of saying that EDM music and drugs
-> "GO" together
-> and any attempt to separate the two is not successful. i.e. concept
-> albums have no place in edm ,,,tracks are  being better than songs???
-> There's way too many reference to Ecstacy as been "GOOD" for EDM and
-> even a whole Chapter on the positive use of E.
->
-> All of this is fine but I think he purposefully hid this agenda in a
-> book that was marketed as "General" book about EDM.

well i guess he called the book "Generation Ecstasy" for a reason :)
