Rip it Up and Start Again: Postpunk 1978-84 by Simon Reynolds
Punk's raw power rejuvenated rock, but by the summer of 1977 the movement had become a parody of itself. RIP IT UP AND START AGAIN is a celebration of what happened next: post-punk bands like PiL, Joy Division, Talking Heads, The Fall and The Human League who dedicated themselves to fulfilling punk's unfinished musical revolution. The post-punk groups were fervent modernists. Experimenting with electronics and machine rhythm or adapting ideas from dub reggae and disco, they were totally confident they could invent a whole new future for music.
Simon Reynolds is the author of Energy Flash: A Journey Throu gh Rave Music and Dance Culture, Blissed Out: The Raptures of Rock and (co-written with Joy Press) The Sex Revolts: Gender, Rebellion and Rock 'n' Roll.
