Electric Eden: Unearthing Britain's Visionary Music by Rob Young

4.0

This doesn't really deserve all four of those stars. It's a survey, and as such, it's necessarily fairly shallow. More and more, I want my music writing to be book-length critical meditations on one album, or better, one song. That being said, this is an admirable survey, one that unspools and describes a vast tangle of obscure artists and albums. A warning, though: it will inspire you to spend lots of money on twee English psychadelic folk music.
