| book | Techno rebels - renegades of electronic funk |
|
|
 |
Author: Dan Sicko (his real name) Publisher: Billboard Books; ISBN: 0823084280 Starts with an interesting write-up of techno's development in Detroit in the 1970s and 1980s; American techno and its relationship to European post-disco music; and a final chapter full of meaningless big-ups to everyone that Dan might want to interview for his next book.

| book | Techno: The Rough Guide |
|
|
 |
Author: Tim Barr Publisher: Rough Guides; ISBN: 1858284341 If the Rough Guide to India is anything to go by, this book might be half-way useful. Although judging by the cover it might just be some rubbish written by an Orbital fan, which would be a shame. Mind you, never judge a book by its cover, innit? Except for the title, author name, publisher and price parts of the cover. I'll have a quick look through it next time I'm in Books Etc and update this entry when I've taken a squiz.

| book | Energy Flash - a journey through rave culture |
|
|
 |
Author: Simon Reynolds An account of how English people heard techno and decided to do pills in a warehouse, really. Pretty good on UK drum n bass, chapters on techno... Buy at amazon.co.uk |

| book | Kraftwerk - I was a robot |
|
|
 |
Author: Wolfgang Flur A new book about Kraftwerk. One of the coolest things about techno is that the Detroit guys back in the day were influenced by Kraftwerk and a bunch of european electronic pop/disco bands, maybe more in some cases than by American bands. Although I dunno what Flur's on about when he says he was a robot. Oh hang on, he was in Kraftwerk. Tour de France is quite a nice tune. Buy at amazon.co.uk |

recordings (through amazon.co.uk)
| recording | Cybotron: Clear |
|
|
 |
Artist: Cybotron Re-release of the album by one of Juan Atkins's bands/personas. Very electro, slightly Kraftwerk, but you can hear the Soul coming through if you listen hard enough (or are good at listening to Soul). Buy at amazon.co.uk |
|
|
|
|
| recording | Innovator |
|
|
 |
Artist: Derrick May This is the new one from Derrick May (another of the big, early Detroit producers). Even if you buy it and it turns out not to be amazingly innovative, the guy was an innovator, and it might be a nice way to say thanks. Buy at amazon.co.uk |
|
|
|
|
| recording | KS02 |
|
|
 |
Artist: Kevin Saunderson Man like Kevin Saunderson inna mix! Another of the Detroit guys on the 1's and 2's. A mix CD released by TrustTheDJ, who are a pretty good place for mix CDs (and hollow DJ worship) generally! I'm selling through Amazon though, cos the Museum gets commission on the sales... Buy at amazon.co.uk |

| recording | Suicide |
|
|
 |
Artist: Suicide 1970s New York electro-punks. They were so fucked up that audiences used to pull venues apart so they had something to beat them up with. And I get a "no" to my demo off a label and I'm discouraged... If I remember right, one CD's their fucked-up tunes and the 2nd is a recording (done on a shitty little cassette recorder) of a Suicide performance. They only get about 12 mins into it before the lead singer gets snotted with an armrest ripped off a chair, and I'm not sure whether they were anything to do with the emergence of techno in the US, but it's fairly mental tuneage!

|
| recording | New York Noise |
|
|
 |
Artist: Various Again, see, I dunno whether this was anything to do with techno itself starting up - the Detroit scene was very different to the New York scene - but this compilation of punk/funk/dance music from 1970s and early 80s NY is really interesting... it's like one of those "sampled" albums only instead of hearing the sample that Stakka Bo ripped for his only ever UK chart tune, you hear what sounds like the creative blueprint for Sugar Hill-style rap there in one tune.
