Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Tracks the development of Ecstasy culture from its roots in the psychedelic underground and gay disco movements in the US in the 70s through the frenzy of acid house and the illegal rave spectaculars of the late 80s, to the creation of a mass drug culture in 90s Britain.
Review:
When the Ecstasy was first mixed with house music in the 1980s, the reaction triggered the most vibrant and diverse youth movement ever seen. The shock continues to reverberate culturally and politically, affecting music, fashion, the law, government policy, and countless other areas of public and private life. "Altered State" is the first book on the history of Ecstasy and House Culture and the politics surrounding it, a subject that has garnered much media attention. Appalled by the idea of media lunches but driven by the desire to create a cultural critique that would live long after the pages it had appeared on had disappeared from newsstands, Matthew Collin set about documenting the social history nobody else thought was worthwhile. Not only a talented editor with a flair for spotting and nurturing young talent, and a killer instinct for a story about to break, Collin was also a concerned, informed writer with passion for music and was responsible for the first articles on milestones like acid house, Detroit techno, and the new British electronica.
