Next up on my reading list is this book I randomly found at our local Goodwill. There are many sub-genres in electronica that I really enjoy that are mentioned in this book, so I thought it would be interesting to read a book on the history of electronica that also includes the history of hip-hop, downtempo, and post-punk/industrial music.
