A lo largo de su carrera, Soda Stereo creció hasta límites insospechables. Los hechos demuestran que sigue más vigente que nunca. Y ésta es la historia.Muchos escribieron sobre Soda Stereo, pero pocos conocieron tanto a la banda como Marcelo Fernandez Bitar. En los 80, durante la incandescente explosion del rock argentino que cambio para siempre el panorama musical latinoamericano, la acompaño de los sotanos del under a los estadios mas grandes del pais. En los 90, asistio al corazon de la reinvencion sonora del grupo y presencio el ultimo concierto en Venezuela y en Buenos Aires. En los 2000, vivio la trastienda del ya celebre retorno y documento todo en el libro historico Diario de gira. Y ahora -cuando la figura de Gustavo Cerati alcanzo su dimension mitica definitiva y la musica de Soda es parte del patrimonio continental- reconstruye, con el testimonio de quienes formaron parte del circulo mas intimo, los momentos mas emblematicos, los episodios mas desconocidos y las decisiones mas audaces.Modernos, sonicos, clasicos, Gustavo Cerati, Zeta Bosio y Charly Alberti impusieron canciones, ropa, cortes de pelo, modos de componer, de tocar, de cantar, e incluso de encarar el inmenso fenomeno que los rodeaba. Este libro, que no ha parado de crecer a la par de la masividad y el reconocimiento que consiguieron, recrea por primera vez la verdadera historia de la banda que cambio la manera de escuchar y ver el rock en castellano no solo en Argentina sino en toda Latinoamerica.

"La vida me ha regalado grandes momentos con muchos de los músicos más importantes de nuestro rock", dice el trompetista conocido como Gillespi. Varios de esos encuentros memorables fueron parte de sus programas de radio, otros se desarrollaron en las casas de los entrevistados, "tomando mate o vino, yendo y viniendo, con terceras personas ahi conversando. Naturalmente".Salsipuedes (Historias de rock argentino) reune una seleccion envidiable de esta serie de conversaciones con Luis Alberto Spinetta, Charly Garcia, Fito Paez, Gustavo Cerati, Roberto Pettinato, David Lebon y Litto Nebbia, entre otros, y suma las experiencias personales del autor como miembro de bandas como Divididos y Las Pelotas, ademas de su carrera como solista y las innumerables participaciones con cientos de artistas durante mas de treinta años. "Hice musica para danza contemporanea, obras de teatro underground, participe de las jam sessions del mitico boliche Jazz y Pop, y me subi a tocar con Sumo y Soda Stereo. Siempre con mi trompeta metida en un bolso, junto a algun pulover, un libro y una radio portatil".

I write from the realms of the ugly, for the ugly, the frigid, the unfucked and the unfuckables, all those excluded fromthe great meat market of female flesh, and for all those guyswho dont want to be protectors, for those who would liketo be but dont know how, for those who are not ambitious,competitive, or well-endowed. Because this ideal of theseductive white woman constantly being waved under ournoses well, Im pretty sure it doesnt exist.

The story of electronic music and composition has, in recent decades, become a significant musical legacy. Seen by many as a novelty for a long time, the synthesiser and drum machine derived pop of the late 1970s and early 1980s finally landed the squeals and squelches of solder and circuit y in the mainstream, validating an extensive period of painstaking research and experimentation dating back to the late 19th Century. The connect ion between Edgard Varese, La Roux, Brian Eno, The Human League and The Plastic Cow Goes Moo is a complex and solder-heavy one.A Plugged In State Of Mind explores this long and exhaustive legacy and unearths the greatest albums, experiences and tunes from over a century of electronic sound. From anarchic sound art manifestos of the early 1900s to the three minute radio-friendly hits of the late Twentieth Century, via tape manipulations, WWII surplus gadgetry, synthetic versions of the Beat les and the development and domination of the synthesiser, the sequencer and their descendants which form the basic building blocks of much of the music we listen to today, the history of electronic music is a strange wonderland of cosmic highs and offbeat creativity; a story never less than compelling in its experimentalism and competitiveness.Key works by familiar early innovators such as Schaeffer, Cage, Stockhausen, Henry and Varese are explored, along with modern envelope pushers such as Aphex Twin and Squarepusher and lesser known unsung heroes and key equipment, such as The IBM 7090 Computer and Digital To Sound Transducer and The CSIRAC Computer.Key recordings are used as chronological touchstones for the story, and provide the reader with highly recommended entry points into this sometimes challenging universe. The authors familiar, joyful style also lends a very accessible air to the subj ect . A companion CD set is also scheduled for release around the time of publication, and we anticipate a good deal of press and enthusiasm for a subject that any music fan or enthusiast for human technological development will find intriguing.

Twenty-five years since acid house and Ecstasy revolutionized pop culture, Simon Reynoldss landmark rave history Energy Flash has been expanded and updated to cover twenty-first-century developments like dubstep and EDMs recent takeover of America. Author of the acclaimed postpunk history Rip It Up and Start Again, Reynolds became a rave convert in the early nineties. He experienced first-hand the scenes drug-fuelled rollercoaster of euphoria and darkness. He danced at Castlemorton, the illegal 1992 mega-rave that sent spasms of anxiety through the Establishment and resulted in the Criminal Justice and Public Order Bill. Mixing personal reminiscence with interviews and ultra-vivid description of the undergrounds ever-changing sounds as they mutated under the influence of MDMA and other drugs, Energy Flash is the definitive chronicle of electronic dance culture. From raves origins in Chicago house and Detroit techno, through Ibiza, Madchester and the anarchic free-party scene, to the pirate-radio underworld of jungle and UK garage, and then onto 2000s-shaping genres such as grime and electro, Reynolds documents with authority, insight and infectious enthusiasm the tracks, DJs, producers and promoters that soundtracked a generation. A substantial final section, added for this new Faber edition, brings the book right up to date, covering dubsteps explosive rise to mass popularity and Americas recent but ardent embrace of rave. Packed with interviews with participants and charismatic innovators like Derrick May, Goldie and Aphex Twin, Energy Flash is an infinitely entertaining and essential history of dance music.
