Dare

Meer over het boek

What is it about, then...? It's about Synthpop, more or less, and how David Bowie, Kraftwerk and the advent of cheap synths rendered Rock'n'Roll redundant, forever changed what it meant to be "in a band" and invented Modern Pop Music along the way. It focuses on 1979-1982 and offers a perceptive and entertaining look at a Pop Revolution that played out on Top Of The Pops, rather than deep underground - and why the "plastic music" of the early Eighties is so very durable and influential.
