t0nythelover Posted November 3 Report Share Posted November 3 theres also a book called the acid house or inside the acid house. it talks about how house music started in gay clubs in chicago and how synthesizers changed music. it also talks about the european scene in depth and kraftwork and other groups back in the day.

STCHRIS Posted November 12 Report Share Posted November 12 Aslo, dont forget about Modulations: Cinema For The Ear. Although its not all about house, it shows the history of electronic music.Movie description Director Iara Lee explores the evolution of techno and electronica music throughout the 20th century in this illuminating musical documentary. Interspersing footage of revolutionary German pre-techno group Kraftwerk, modern avant garde composers like John Cage, European dance dj's, and specific cultural phenomenons like the Prodigy and Afrika Bamambaataa, MODULATIONS is comprehensive and innovative. A must have for technophiles, ravers, and the digerati, this video features dozens of the best electronic musicians of the 20th century Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
