A truly alternative look at music lists, not one that merely includes the obvious but shows the connections of popular music to the avant garde, the obscure, the experimental, the quirky, and the adventurous. Herein you will find a list of 500 artists from the familiar to the unknown. A list and a guide to musical pleasure sometimes close at hand and sometimes far afield. The book includes biographical essays of the eight contributors describing their musical journeys of discovery and the joy they derived from that exploration. They discuss the merits and dilemmas of collecting, recording versus live performance, the change of media and the future of music. In addition 100 plus artists receive short but detailed personal evaluation.

 

 

Reviews:

These essays are often very personal and the contributors provide contexts (mostly cultural and occassionally personal and political) for their developments and discoveries. There's very little journalistic detachment here and that's a good thing. ... Each writer in his own way conveys the elation, that zing, of discovering and relishing new sounds. Any eclectic music geek will identify with these stories. ... When music heads bemoan the amount of crappy music out there that clogs our plane of existence, they fail to remember just how much good stuff is out there waiting to be discovered. Music IS Rapid Transportation is more thna just a reminder; it may prove to be indispensable to tommorrow's musical Magellans starting out on their own Paths of Discovery.

— Mark Keresman, Signal to Noise

The book’s genius – and what makes it, to my knowledge, unique and much needed – is that it doesn’t put down one type of music at the expense of the other. Pop or jazz “police” – and resulting hierarchies – are not welcome here.  The writers, of different age groups and backgrounds, describe the most influential music in their lives, from Dylan to Steve Reich, the Velvet Underground to Archie Shepp (the eclecticism is remarkable, leading to a terrific reading experience). The writing is both charmingly personal and widely informed, lending friendly hands to explore their musical journeys and epiphanies. The book demystifies music that’s too commonly thought of as inaccessible or the purview of an elite few (a narrow self-serving myth sometimes pushed by those elites to separate themselves from what H.L. Mencken satirically called the “booboisie”).

—Juan Rodriguez, Montreal Gazette

Read Full Review

In a phrase, one could sum up Music is Rapid Transportation as a meditation on the profound and often unexpected sonic evolution and development of music listeners. Indeed, that tenet is the most interesting undercurrent that permeates this collection and proves to be its longest-lasting lesson. Great pains are taken to show that this book is not making any type of overt aesthetic value judgment or reverting to typical binary arguments; instead it shines further light on perhaps the most important element of the musical life: if you approach every day with open ears, there is no telling the sonic potential you will discover.

—Steve Sladkowski, Spontaneous Combustion

L'ouvrage est ainsi un beau pied de nez aux pathétiques publications du type "1001 albums qu'il faut avoir écoutés avant de mourir". Music IS Rapid Transportation part en effet non pas des albums mais des auditeurs, de personnes passionnées dotées d'une capacité de discernement s'affinant avec le temps.

Review en francais: Neospheres

"The most enjoyable section of the book is 'Musical Epiphanies,' in each of which the writers describe, over a page or so, an album or performance which was then, and is still now, especially important to them. It is in these pages, and in the biographical essays, that the life-long passions for music which produced Music Is Rapid Transportation become vivid and the book becomes as much fun to read as it must have been fun to write."

— Chris May, AllAboutJazz.com

"I very much enjoyed the reviews of famous and lesser-known but equally deserving artists and how all artists were connected to other artists to guide and encourage musical explorations. The photographs that are, to the best of my knowledge, unavailable elsewhere, are largely comprised of stunning mood shots from live shows. The many listening autobiographies all provide fascinating personal accounts changing listening habits through time, including those that are fleeting, and those that persist. I learned about so many musical acts that I will be seeking out the CDs recommended by this book for a long time! Highly recommended."

"I had a lot of fun “comparing notes” with these great collectors (Lawrence Joseph, Dan Lander, Donald McGraith, Bill Smith, Alan Stanbridge, Scott Thomson, Vern Weber), and their autobiographies spoke to me at a deep level. Seven opportunities to tell myself that I’m not crazy nor alone! Recommended reading to music maniacs with experimental tendencies."

— Francois Couture, monsieur delire

"... just finished this book and it was awesome. A very interesting take on a music book - more a biography and how folks found new music and got from one thing to another. Highly recommended."


— Bruce Stevens, Psycopompos
