futuromania simon reynolds

Simon Reynolds s first book in eight years is a celebration of music that feels like a taste of tomorrow. Sounds that prefigure pop music s future - the vanguard genres and heroic innovators whose discoveries eventually get accepted by the wider mass audience. But it s also about the way music can stir anticipation for a thrillingly transformed world just around the corner: a future that might be utopian or dystopian, but at least will be radically changed and exhilaratingly other. Starting with an extraordinary chapter on Giorgio Moroder and Donna Summer, taking in illuminating profiles of Ryuichi Sakamoto, Boards of Canada, Burial, and Daft Punk, and arguing for Auto-Tune as the defining sound of 21st century pop, Futuromania shapes over two-dozen essays and interviews into a chronological narrative of machine-music from the 1970s to now. Reynolds explores the interface between pop music and science fiction s utopian dreams and nightmare visions, always emphasising the quirky human individuals abusing the technology as much as the era-defining advances in electronic hardware and digital software. A tapestry of the scenes and subcultures that have proliferated in that febrile, sexy and contested space where man meets machine, Futuromania is an enthused listening guide that will propel readers towards adventures in sound. There is a lifetime of electronic listening here.

Twenty-five years since acid house and Ecstasy revolutionized pop culture, Simon Reynolds s landmark rave history Energy Flash has been expanded and updated to cover twenty-first-century developments like dubstep and EDM s 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 scene s 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 underground s 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 rave s 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 dubstep s explosive rise to mass popularity and America s 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.

Kniha zkoumá divokou dobrodružnou hudbu vytvořenou po punku. Renomovaný hudební novinář Simon Reynolds oslavuje futuristického ducha Joy Division, Gang of Four, Talking Heads či Devo a dalších kapel, který vyústil v nekonečné inovace v hudbě, textech, vystoupení a stylu a pokračoval počátkem osmdesátých let videem - například důvtipným synth popem Human League, Depeche Mode či Soft Cell, jejichž úspěch se shodoval s nástupem MTV. Celou knihou se jako červená nit vine téma návaznosti na v té době už utichlou punkovou explozi. Nejde ale ani tak o odkaz punku jako hudebního stylu, mnohem důležitější je jeho nastolený étos, snaha vymanit se přístupem DIY z osidel zavedeného hudebního byznysu - po hudební stránce šlo spíše o to, kam po odeznění punku dál. V jednu chvíli jsme uvažovali o nahrazení výrazu post punk výrazem nová vlna, českým pamětníkům přece jen důvěrněji známým. Je pravda, že u nás se toto sousloví používalo dlouhou dobu a výraz post punk se ujal později než jinde. Záhy jsme však narazili na dvě významná ale. Zaprvé jen těžko můžeme za novou vlnu označit industriální kapely nebo např. Residents či Birthday Party. A co newyorské kapely, které se výrazem no wave proti new wave přímo vyhrazovaly? Mnohem víc se vžila představa novovlňáků jako fešných mládenců s dlouhými patkami a očními stíny, důležitě se tvářícími za svými synťáky (pravda, v druhé části knihy jich pár najdeme). Zadruhé se dnes běžně hovoří o postpunkovém revivalu - jen stěží by někdo použil výraz novovlnný revival. A není tohle všechno koneckonců jedno? Je jen na vás, jestli držíte v ruce knihu, mapující historii post punku, nebo raději nové vlny.

The first book to make sense of 21st Century pop, Retromania explores rock s nostalgia industry of revivals, reissues, reunions and remakes, and argues that there has never before been a culture so obsessed with its own immediate past. Pulling together parallel threads from music, fashion, art, and new media, Simon Reynolds confronts a central paradox of our era: from iPods to YouTube, we re empowered by mind-blowing technology, but too often it s used as a time machine or as a tool to shuffle and rearrange music from yesterday.We live in the digital future but we re mesmerized by our analogue past.

The Reynolds Pamphlet (1797) is an essay by Alexander Hamilton. Written while Hamilton was serving as Secretary of the Treasury, the Pamphlet was intended as a defense against accusations that Hamilton had conspired with James Reynolds to misuse funds meant to cover unpaid wages to Revolutionary War veterans. Admitting to an affair with Maria, Reynolds’ wife, Hamilton claims that the accusation is nothing more than an attempt at blackmail. This revelation not only endangered Hamilton’s career as a public figure, but constituted perhaps the earliest sex scandal in American history. “The bare perusal of the letters from Reynolds and his wife is sufficient to convince my greatest enemy that there is nothing worse in the affair than an irregular and indelicate amour. For this, I bow to the just censure which it merits. I have paid pretty severely for the folly and can never recollect it without disgust and self condemnation. It might seem affectation to say more.”Accused of corruption in his role as Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton was forced to confess his adultery, bringing shame to himself as a married man and supposedly honorable public figure, yet saving his political career in the process. Looking back on his affair with Maria Reynolds from a distance of five years, Hamilton expresses regret for his foolishness, yet wholeheartedly denies her husband’s accusation that he had been involved in his scheme to misuse government funds. Perhaps the first sex scandal in American history, the Reynolds affair sent shockwaves throughout the burgeoning republic, leaving many to question the motives and character of their leaders for the first time, though certainly not the last.

Mack Reynolds novel Mercenary is a science fiction novel. This thought-provoking tale takes place in a future society dominated by political beliefs, power struggles, and international interactions. Miles Gilbert, the protagonist, is a professional mercenary, a soldier for hire in a world where nations no longer fight traditional wars but instead hire mercenaries to fight on their behalf. Gilbert is a multifaceted figure who navigates a morally confusing environment where loyalty, politics, and personal ethics collide. As the novel progresses, Gilbert becomes engaged in a succession of worldwide wars, each of which is motivated by the interests of strong nations and companies. His experiences shed insight on the complex mechanics of a society where conflict has become a profitable business. Mack Reynolds deftly employs Mercenary as a vehicle for exploring themes of war, diplomacy, and the ethics of violence. The story explores concerns about the role of mercenaries in influencing nations fates, as well as the blurred lines between patriotism and profit. Mercenary is a politically charged and intellectually fascinating work of science fiction that asks readers to consider the implications of a society in which violence is outsourced to private warriors.

FEATURING AN INTRODUCTION BY NICK CAVEâ ˜Warren has turned this memento, snatched from his idolâ ™s piano in a moment of rapture, into a genuine religious artefact.â ™NICK CAVE Such a mad, happy book about art and music and obsession. Iâ ™m so glad I got to read it. It made the world feel lighter. NEIL GAIMAN In praise of meaning-rich relics and magical things. Totally heartwarming project. MAX PORTER A unique study of a fanâ ™s devotion, of transcendence and of the artistic vocation â ” itâ ™s got depth and great warmth. Itâ ™s a beautiful piece of work. KEVIN BARRYI hadnâ ™t opened the towel that contained her gum since 2013. The last person to touch it was Nina Simone, her saliva and fingerprints unsullied. The idea that it was still in her towel was something I had drawn strength from. I thought each time I opened it some of Nina Simoneâ ™s spirit would vanish. In many ways that thought was more important than the gum itself.On Thursday 1 July, 1999, Dr Nina Simone gave a rare performance as part of Nick Cave s Meltdown Festival. After the show, in a state of awe, Warren Ellis crept onto the stage, took Dr Simone s piece of chewed gum from the piano, wrapped it in her stage towel and put it in a Tower Records bag. The gum remained with him for twenty years; a sacred totem, his creative muse, a conduit that would eventually take Ellis back to his childhood and his relationship with found objects, growing in significance with every passing year.Nina Simoneâ ™s Gum is about how something so small can form beautiful connections between people. It is a story about the meaning we place on things, on experiences, and how they become imbued with spirituality. It is a celebration of artistic process, friendship, understanding and love. This is such a beautiful f*@king book. Thank you, Warren. I highly recommend this motherf*@ker. FLEA A beautifully written book about the power of music and objects. I powered through it in two days.

James Baldwin used to tell Nina Simone, This is the world you have made for yourself, now you have to live in it. Simone has created for herself a world of magnificent peaks. Often compared to Billie Holiday and Edith Piaf, Simone is known as one of the greatest singers of her generation. She has recorded forty-three albums, ranging from blues to jazz to folk, and her hits like I Loves You, Porgy, My Baby Just Cares for Me, I Put a Spell on You, and Mississippi Goddam have confirmed her as an enduring force in popular music. Her song Young, Gifted, and Black became the anthem for the Civil Rights Movement and thrust her beyond international stardom into the center of activism. But such worlds as Simone s are not without their grim valleys: disastrous marriages, arrest and the threat of imprisonment, mental breakdown, poverty, and attempted suicide. She has survived these trials and continues to perform throughout Europe and the United States. With undiminished passion and in her unconquerable voice, this is Nina Simone s powerful memoir of her tempestuous life.
