i read the 1st blog post of the "count down" 2 this book and
it was basicly just describing what the track sounded like
plus some elusive style AND IT SOUNDS COOL BACKWARDS TO

is the actual book better than that

That's hilarious. I read Ocean of Sound by David Toop and
that was a tolerable read, maybe I will try this

The book is way better than that. It offers an interesting
look behind the scenes of the record industry and the
recording artist's relation to it at the time of, prior to,
as well as after, the release of the record in question. The
book turns a bit philosophical when dealing with how the
record was received critically at the time and how it has
been re-evaluated ever since, coming into its legacy.
There's an interesting discussion about beatlessness and
ambient music where the author compares Eno's concept of
"discrete music" with rave culture's concept of chill-out
and thus offers a rather fresh and interesting perspective
on SAWII, for me anyway. Of course, I was there when this
record was first released so I recognise the time and the
zeitgeist that is described but I'm impressed by the number
and richness of the details I didn't know that keeps
surfacing throughout this book. That anyone can write a 150
pages about a two and a half hours long ambient album
without boring me to death is impressive in its own right.
