does the elitist post to this list? -----Original Message----- From: techno [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 08, 2002 7:46 PM To: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: Re: (313) 8-Mile - Detroit music history
I would like to see a comprehensive Detroit techno and Chicago house chronology of the music year by year. It may be more practical and cost effective to do something like this on a digital medium like CD-ROM or DVD since you would be covering a lot of ground with artist and record label discography's. Actually DVD would be ideal for this since you have the options of audio and video and it can store a vast amount of information. Techno Rebels is a good book going over the history and origins of the music but it really doesn't delve into the more obscure Detroit techno records and labels that should not be excluded from history. Of coure the elitist will disagree with me on this. on 11/8/02 5:49 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > actually - that's a really nice website. gives credit and some history to > the trailblazers of Detroit music in #3 which brings me to the topic of > books about the very same- > > to you Detroiters and Detroit historians a question - > > which books give the best history of Detroit music? > > Whether it be encyclopedia style or a more narrated story.... > what I really love to see in a book is a discography in the back and maybe > even eras broken down - ala Dan's "Techno Rebels" > > MEK
