Book Description/Synopsis:
The Talking Heads,
The Boomtown Rats, Blondie, Elvis Costello: this fun new addition to the
successful Encyclopedia series celebrates the hugely influential New
Wave musical movement of the late 1970s and 80s. Originating as a
less-aggressive sister movement to punk, New Wave encompassed a wide range of
styles from Brit pub-rock to electronica, synth-pop and even ska. The
Encyclopedia of New Wave comprehensively captures this eclectic music, all
of which enthralled the newly emerging MTV generation. With its tendency toward
romantic minimalism, dark dance beats and gender-bending antics, New Wave
changed the course of popular musical history as well as fashion and art.
