Excuse me, but I didn't understand what this book is about. I'm a bit slow,
y'know. Is it a book about music? And is it the same Simon Reynolds who wrote

Mind you, I thought Reynolds was spot on about drugs and hardcore

BITBB is definitely in there, but it's not the only component. I think that
producers back then were just as into diverse/obscure music as they are now.
It's part of trying to create something different or novel.
I cry no chance. theres just no way that those guys were listening to

I'll dig out the ref and post it. also there was one that was a blueprint
