20 Jazz Funk Greats, Paperback

In 20 Jazz Funk Greats Drew Daniel (of the experimental band Matmos) creates--through both his own insights and exclusive interviews with the band--an exploded view of the album's multiple agendas: a series of close readings of each song, shot through with a sequence of thematic entries on key concepts, strategies, and contexts (noise, leisure, process, the abject, information, and repetition). This is a smart and unusual book about a pioneering band.
