larsinio 's review for:
Outstanding! Well-researched book that covers multiple threads that intertwine nicely. Stephen Witt has made a potentially dry subject very engaging and accessible.
As someone who was part of the Scene back in the day, this book is a chronicle of my youth 1995 - 2005. I felt instantly at home and enjoyed the chance to revisit those days. Non-fiction with the thrill of fiction in a technical/business subject is increidbly tough to do and the author makes a great standing of his first published work.
My only complaint is this book could use an addendum in a few years as streaming is changing things considerably, but he at least manages to discuss this aspect in the epilogue.
Recommended for anyone interested in music technology, the late 90s, IRC, the Scene, and the music industry
