Subject: (313) new techno book
Hi list,
italy now has it's very own techno book.
Andrea Benedetti, italian techno pioneer and plasmek label founder
(http://www.discogs.com/artist/Andrea+Benedetti), has just published his
book on techno, its origins and the italian techno movement. He was also
very influential in creating a bridge between rome and detroit.
unfortunately its in italian.......
here is an abstract, translated from italian to english courtesy of
google:
"Techno music boasts a history more than ventennale by now, but a lot to
being taken in consideration has faticato, above all from the critic.
This book gives back the just value to the happened more meaningful
sonorous revolution after the punk, and ago with measure, but also with
passion, telling history of its protagonists, often little known,
analyzing without to banalize the reasons of the happened one of the brani
manifest of this style. Andrea Blessed evacuation the field from the many
musical and social prejudgments that have accompanied the production and
the consumption of the Techno and trace in way rations them and balanced
the history of the "movement", its contese origins between the two coasts
of the Atlantic and above all of the Italian scene. Because also Italy
has given its contribution, showing a true and own school, lively and
extremely productive, although osteggiata from the average and neglected
even from the specialistic press. Rich of details and anecdotes, the told
history of the techno Italian from Blessed is direct testimony and
precious about "one-that-there it was" and faithful report of the events
and the initiatives that have fed the "scene" from its beginnings to the
days today, from the dj about the Afro, to the protagonists a po' trash
and soon it forgets you about the Italian Disc to the exploit, between the
others, Lory D, Mark Passarani, Mark Carola and Gaetano Parisio. There is
all that that you want to know, all that that there is from knowledge. "
the book is published by Stampa Alternativa

cheers,
fab.
