Simon Reynolds

Simon Reynolds is one of the most respected music journalists working today, and his writing is both influential and polarizing. He draws on an impressive range of knowledge, and writes with a fluid, engaging style. His books Rip it Up and Start Again and Generation Ecstasy are well-regarded works about their respective genres, and RETROMANIA may be his most broadly appealing book yet. It makes an argument about art, nostalgia, and technology that has implications for all readerswhether diehard music fans or not. Its an important and provocative look at the present and future of culture and innovation."

Quotes

    Soul wouldn’t exist without gospel, but in the UK a much smaller fraction of the population believes in God than in America.

      Green Gartside once described Scritti’s songs as ‘hymns for agnostics, for the disillusioned like myself’.
