"Is avant-garde rock music a contradiction in terms? Avant-garde trends emerged through the cultural and political upheavals of the 1960s, and acquired a new focus in the later Beatles, drawing upon many sources outside of rock, from John Cage to Cecil Taylor. [] Avant rock is produced by musicians who fight the commercial and political pressures to conform, because they have imagined what music could be if those pressures did not exist. . . Most experimental rock musicians remain affirmative toward song form and dance music and continue to see these as wellsprings of creativity. Yet this may now be coming to an end, as avant rock evolves more like other avant-garde musics: produced, played and listened to in arenas of its own, set aside from the mainstream. [] In this fresh and challenging look at avant rock, Bill Martin outlines the entire phenomenon, from Yoko Ono, King Crimson and Velvet Underground through the dynamic of progressive rock and punk in the 1970s and the watershed work of Brian Eno, to contemporary figures who continue to push the boundaries of rock: Sonic Youth, Stereolab, Merzbow, Bjork, Jim O'Rourke and many others." [publisher copy] "In the era of the Backstreet Boys and Limp Bizkit, Britney Spears and Eminem, it's unfashionable to talk about the music of ideas--even (or especially) among people who write about popular music for a living. Bill Martin refuses to accept this, and he dives into the deep end of what he calls 'avant rock' to write with the insight of a superb critic, the perspective of a scholar, and the passion of a fan."--Jim DeRogatis. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable.
