Résumé du livre
Avant rock is produced by musicians who fight the commercial and political pressures to conform, because they have imagined what music could be if those pressures did not exist. In this fresh and challenging look at avant rock, Bill Martin outlines the entire phenomenon, from Yoko Ono, King Crimson, and Velvet Underground through the dynamic of progressive rock and punk in the 1970s and the watershed work of Brian Eno, to contemporary figures who continue to push the boundaries of rock: Sonic Youth, Stereolab, Merzbow, Bjork, Jim O'Rourke, and many others.
