About the Author:
Rule is associate editor of Keyboard magazine and a dance music producer in Sausalito.
From Booklist:
Parents and friends of the young, on the lookout for something else to worry about, may be interested in increasing their knowledge of techno music as delineated by Rule and company. In a stylistic gambit perfect for the subject, Rule pairs capsule descriptions of and interviews with some of the leading purveyors of techno and "Product Spotlight" features detailing the wonderful toys used to create the electronic music. Among the interviewees: Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, and techno's founders, Kraftwerk. All the instruments' profiles (of the ARP 2600, N.E.D. Synclavier, Sequential Prophet-5, et al.) are interesting, though more for the maven than the casual fan. But you can't talk techno without talking technology, and reading this book confers a fine rudimentary understanding of what and who makes an exciting rock genre tick. Of current grim interest: Sascha, of KMFDM (Kein Mehrheit fur die Mitleid; i.e., No pity for the majority), an alleged favorite of the Littleton, Colorado, teen shooters, is another of the interviewees. Mike Tribby
