European Rock & the Second Culture

European Rock & the Second Culture

"The Book of Eurock" includes all the feature articles published by Eurock Magazine during its 30 years of existence.

Artists included range from Amon DÃ¼Ã¼l & Can, to Tangerine Dream, Art Zoyd, Univers Zero, Ash Ra Tempel, Savage Rose and Urban Sax + MANY MORE!
A Special Bonus is the previously unpublished tome on Krautrock from 1971 by Lester Bangs, late Editor of Creem Magazine and gonzo rock journalist extraordinaire, Amon DÃ¼Ã¼l - A Science Fiction Rock Spectacle: "the combined accomplishments of American and Limey bands have been seeded in less-sung rock scenes around the world, and some of these seeds are coming to the weirdest blooms heard in the Western world with the mostest bloom in one of the seemingly unlikeliest places imaginable: Scandinavia and Germany."

The book is a dynamic, real-time chronicle of alternative, experimental and progressive European music. Organized chronologically, from 1973 - 2002, this book provides information about virtually every important and not-so-important independent and alternative artist you could hope to read about from Europe, the U.S., Japan and points beyond. The writings in this book are part of a time of profound cultural change that was in many ways inseparable from the music in question. Patterson asks us to look not only at the music, but also at the social and cultural context of what helped make such music possible, and do so through the voices of the musicians and their audience. This aspect of the book especially makes it an important collection of historical articles, ideas and observations regarding music and its cultural impact in the world.
