| You are aware that the guide was made primarily for fun, and not for accuracy, right? |

It's edutational! :D
Yeah, just read the disclaimers and you'll be fine.
I don't think I'd take any dryly-written textbook guide seriously. C'mon, for crying out loud, this is *electronic dance music*, subject to Accelerative Thrust as Toffler put forth, and also victim to the whims and whimsy of sometimes fickle listeners. :) |

How accurate is this generally considered to be..
I had no idea electronic music went back that far, I thought it was an invention of the early 90's... It was almost impossible to find when I was in primary skool. (Yes, I listened to 'techno' in primary school, I was deemed a freak "eunce eunce eunce")
I guess I'm just too young but this is interesting to see where some of this comes from.. and some of the explanations of why it was created.. just wondering if its close to the generally accepted correct. |

G`Dave, for what it's worth, I respect Ishkur for investing his time & energy into that guide. He frequents this forum:
http://www.di.fm/forums/
To answer questions about his Guide (although he's heard many redundant ones), and he checks TA too. He states what his preferences are in the guide. It's biased, which is fine with me -- I have no problem with bias as long as someone is open and direct, not to mention proud of expressing their personal views. Which he does, repeatedly!
Just compare it to other sources over time like the more serious but journalistically dry allmusic.com and other guides that are available, and you'll get your own feel for things. The thing is, "accuracy" in music history is open to interpretation. But at least with Ishkur's guide, you get sound samples to help you out with that. It is about the MUSIC after all ;)
If you're curious about earlier electronic music, here are two names maybe you are already familiar with, but they are *important*:
Kraftwerk & Tangerine Dream
Trees have roots, and branches. Enjoy your continued explorations through the world of electronic sound, I bid you well. :) |
