Futuromania Delayedia

I had a good post day today with Simon Reynold's new book Futuromania arriving. His first book in 8 years, Futuromania "shapes over two-dozen essays and interviews into a chronological narrative of machine-music from the 1970s to now." Right up my street.

It also came with a little fanzine called 'From Synthedelia to Memoradelia', which is nice. 

I'm reading Bob Mortimer's The Satsuma Complex at the mo, so I won't be diving straight into it, but expect tracks mentioned in it to crop up in future 9-in-1 lists. Though maybe not the next one as I think that's already full.

In the meantime, Reynolds did a guest show on NTS this week, so you can get a taste of what's to come.
