Since it was founded in 1982, The Wire magazine has covered a vast range of alternative, experimental, underground and non-mainstream music. Now some of that knowledge has been distilled into The Wire Primers: a comprehensive guide to the core recordings of some of the most visionary and inspiring, subversive and radical musicians on the planet, past and present. Each chapter surveys the musical universe of a particular artist, group or genre by way of a contextualizing introduction and a thumbnail guide to the most essential recordings. A massive and eclectic range of music is celebrated and demystified, from rock mavericks such as Captain Beefheart and The Fall; the funk of James Brown and Fela Kuti; the future jazz of Sun Ra and Ornette Coleman; and the experimental compositions of John Cage and Morton Feldman. Genres surveyed and explained include P-funk, musique concrète, turntablism, Brazilian Tropicália, avant metal and dubstep. The Wire Primers is a vital guide to contemporary sounds, providing an accessible entry point for any reader wanting to dig below the surface of mainstream music.

"The Wire is an award-winning, independent magazine renowned for its expert coverage of a vast range of alternative, experimental and underground music. Now that knowledge has been distilled into THE WIRE PRIMERS: a guide to the core recordings of some of the most visionary and inspiring, subversive and radical musicians on the planet, past and present. [] A vast range of music is celebrated and demystified: the avant rock of Captain Beefheart, The Fall and Sonic Youth; the funk of James Brown and Fela Kuti; the future jazz of Sun Ra and Ornette Coleman; and the experimental compositions of John Cage and Stockhausen. In addition, the book surveys and explains key genres and movements, including musique concrete, turntablism, Noise and dubstep. [] Written by leading writers on modern music, such as Stewart Lee, Alan Licht, Edwin Pouncey, Simon Reynolds, Peter Shapiro and John Szwed, THE WIRE PRIMERS is an essential guide to contemporary sounds for any reader looking to dig below the surface of mainstream music." [publisher copy] "The most essential music magazine of the contemporary era."--Forced Exposure. "For 25 years The Wire magazine has been celebrating the sound of cussed eccentricity . . . A true English eccentric . . . it is the curator of a self-sufficient and non-aligned musical world."--Daily Telegraph. "Shining a light on the marginal, the underground and the outside of popular (and semi-popular) music, The Wire has consistently validated and articulated the merit of experimental creativity."--Thurston Moore. "Feeling scared of cutting yourself to ribbons if you tiptoe along the cutting edge towards the unknown? Then allow The Wire to be your benign guide through the superficially impenetrable aural wilderness."--Robert Wyatt. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners (slight beump on lower back) & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine, quite presentable. N° de réf. du vendeur RUB2743
