This really is a fantastic book. It's how people
should write about music -- yes, that means you in the academy especially. It inspires. And no matter how much you already love music you'll love it and appreciate it even more after reading only a little bit. And not only that but Toop (himself a musician) does a great job of situating music in this world's sonic environment.
You can read the whole thing online if you can read French
here at Google Books. Otherwise buy it online or at a real bookstore or get it at your library (NYPL has it -- which is where I read it). More than likely it will lead you to many new, wonderful things...specifically it turned me onto Sun Ra's film (yes film) called
Space Is The Place.
