Synopsis:
"Generation Ecstasy" is the story of rave culture and techno music. Challengingtraditional ideas about music and spawning a global network of underground scenes based on the frenzied euphoria of the all-night dance party, rave is the most innovative, influential, and controversial pop phenomenon since punk rock. Acelebration of rave's quest for the perfect beat and the ultimate rush, "GenerationEcstasy" is the definitive chronicle of rave culture and electronic dance music.
Review:
"[It] serves as an important cultural critique, a detailed record that brings us up to date on a dynamic social experiment in progress."
Stephen Sande, San Francisco Chronicle Book Review, 09/13/1998

Minor stains on table of contents & Introduction, else contents are almost like new. ; 9-1/4" Tall, 454pp. Black boards, bright silver lettering. MUSIC. "One of this book's themes is the utopian/dystopian dialectic running through Ecstasy culture, the way the hunger for heaven on earth almost always leads to a 'darkside' phase of drug excess and paranoia. GENERATION ECSTASY strives to combine the thoughtless immediacy of my experiences in the thick of the scene with the 'thinking around the subject' that ensued after the heat of the moment. As a history, it's an attempt to chronicle how this extraordinary culture coalesced into being, and to track how those strands have subsequently unraveled to form the current post-rave diaspora. But pulsing inside the text, its raison d'etre, is the incandescent memory of amnesiac moments, dance floor frenzies that propelled me outside time and history.
