Review Ì eBook, PDF or Kindle ePUB Ö Brian David Stevens
A series of in depth interviews with a bunch of interesting UK musicians Perhaps a little London South centric Lovely presentation of the book Highly recommended. Brian David Stevens Firstly, this isn t a history of UK sound systems as the title suggests If you are after a chronological history from Suckle onwards, don t get this book.This book does have a good readability, with interviews with some of the artists who created the music played on the scene, or not I left contributors And stands well in its own right for that alone.A good book But nowhere near close to being a history of Sound system culture. Brian David Stevens What an incredible book Sound system culture matrix knowledge gained Brian David Stevens You will love this Fascinating and so real Gorgeous photography and intelligent interviewing that brings out the magic of those times This stuff is the foundation of all the music you love. Brian David Stevens Amazing book Well worth reading for anybody that loves music Just LOVE it Brian David Stevens
Not great disappointment Brian David Stevens
