Mars by 1980: The Story of Electronic Music by David Stubbs

3.0

A fairly sweeping look at electronic music from it's naissance in 20th century experiments right up to modern-day sound technology.
Stubbs is comprehensive but not exhaustive, and says as much in the introduction. What is covered however is more or less the length and breadth of major names and developments, all relayed varyingly in anecdotes, interview quotes, and general cultural history and theory.
