'A captivating celebration of the music that pushes us forward' RECORD COLLECTOR

Futuromania is a celebration of music that feels like a taste of tomorrow: the vanguard genres and heroic innovators who prefigure and shape pop music's future. It explores the interface between pop music and science fiction's utopian dreams and nightmare visions, paying as much attention to the febrile creativity of the human mind as it does to the era-defining advances in electronic hardware and digital software.

From Giorgio Moroder and Donna Summer to Boards of Canada, Burial, Flying Lotus and dozens more, this collection of essays and interviews by critically-acclaimed author Simon Reynolds coheres into an exhilarating chronological narrative of machine-music from the 1970s to today. A fascinating guide through adventures in sound, there is a lifetime of electronic listening here.©2024 Simon Reynolds Music Teknoloji

A captivating celebration of the music that pushes us forward
Should be guaranteed a place on the bookshelf of everyone who claims to be a music lover
Read it and you will believe he believes in life after love
The deeper he digs, the better it gets - his explanation of Auto-tune is fascinating
Futuromania is a testament to our ever-changing imagination of what the future holds and whether radical sounds equate to radical politics
Beautiful, combining irresistible period detail with astute critical insight

I really love these musical overviews from Simon Reynolds. But every time he grabs my attention, he skips to different music(s). Yet I understand his ‘overview’ is already several hundreds of pages long, so his goal is reached: I simply want to learn more about my vinyl collection than he shares in his books!

Love the contents, sometimes too superficial

Excellent book, lots of great takes on 90s electronica and beyond. I loved it, Simon’s writing is succinct and perfectly descriptive

90s rave nostalgia and much more

This is a great overview of Electronic music, specifically because it goes beyond origins and 1970s to 1980s as most books on electronic music limit themselves to. There is a massive gap in the market for books like this on Electronic music from 2000 to today. The book is well-written and well-read, I hope Simon Reynolds publishes more on Electronic music in future.

Honestly the best book on Electronic music I've ever read
