NEW WAVETHE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF
With its romantic minimalism, dark dance beats, and equal-opportunity
gender-bending (and in some cases, gender-defying) antics, new wave continues to
influence pop music today. The Encyclopedia of New Wave is packed with hundreds
of rare photographs, profiles of the greatest performers, and fascinating sidebars
about the most influential cultural milestones of the MTV generation.by Daniel Bukszpan
Foreword by
Gerald Casale
NEW WAVE
MUSIC $24.95Can. $29.95
During the late 1970s and mid-80s, a fresh synthesizer-based
form of music was born from the smoldering embers of the
punk movement and immortalized by the new medium of music
videos: new wave. From such performers as a-ha to Yazoo, The
Encyclopedia of New Wave is a comprehensive guide to this highly
electronic—and highly eclectic—music movement. Packed with
hundreds of eye-popping photographs of musicians, albums, and
memorabilia and punctuated by fascinating sidebars about the
influential fashions, clubs, movies, and other aspects of living
in the material world, The Encyclopedia of New Wave is the most
comprehensive single-volume guide to one of the most influential
musical styles of the late twentieth century.

“Even with all the aggressive packaging and glitter, there
were true innovators and pop music milestones reached in
the new wave era, and this book is as close as you are likely
to get to that Day-Glo rocket ride.” —Gerald Casale, from the foreword
