Zustand: Sehr gut. McNulty, Marc [Photographer] (illustrator). 177 Seiten, zahlr. Abb. Very good condition. - This book exists to collect and celebrate selected ephemera from the post- House dance culture of the last nine years: an undertaking often seen as contradictory, if not pointless. You can see the complaint coming: "How can you put something so transient in a book?". But transience is one founding dynamic of British Pop - as defined by Richard Hamilton - and does not preclude another time scale: the real story of people's lives is not to be told in news headlines, but in the stuff of everyday. Because it freezes the moment, the ephemeral can be perennial. Club flyers are an integral part of the urban landscape. Visit any youth-cult shop, and you will find a flat space covered with a bewildering array of visual input - a rapid, constantly changing form of communication. The baseline for any flyer is information - who, when and where - but the sheer volume of this cheap, quick turn-around medium has resulted in other effects. Produced by club communities, flyers are aspirational adverts, bulletin boards, in-jokes, showcases for young designers, a visual call and response for a whole generation. As DJ Magazine noted in April 1994: "They don't always tell the truth (but) they are our history". Here is one way of telling the story of the last nine or ten years, a period which has seen, in the UK and Europe at least, the musical focus of pop shift from rock to dance music - a fact which is as obvious as it is still often denied. The images that you see in this book have a common origin: the sequence of minimal, spacey records that came out of the US from 1986 on. In early manifestos like "Can You Feel It" by Fingers Inc, "Freedom" by the Children, db's "I Have A Dream", and Marshall Jefferson's "Move Your Body", you can hear an inclusive warmth that comes from a strong sense of community - a feeling which, as Chuck Roberts' rap prophesied, has spread around the world to create other communities, one nation united under a House groove. As Jamie Principle whispered on his epic "Baby Wants To Ride": "I believe! I believe! Do you believe? I believe!". For the last 30 years, pop music has travelled back and forth across the Atlantic in a series of bizarre mutations. Who could have predicted Kraftwerk's influence on the black dance music of 1981-1984, Hip Hop and Electro? Stigmatised and ignored in America because of its gay black origins, House readily travelled to Britain, where its "four on the floor" kick and synthesised melodies fed right into the uptempo aesthetic already established by Tamla, Northern Soul, Disco and Hi NRG. Collated and packaged by London Records, House quickly became big news from mid- 1986 on, with massive hits by Farley "Jackmaster" Funk ("Love Can't Turn Around) and Steve "Silk" Hurley ("Jack Your Body": number 1 in the charts, January 1987). House has the gospel spirituality and heart-stopping intensity of life that you hear in the best dance music, together with a certain gay-derived sense of melodrama, but it has added something new to this perennially popular mix: a profound sense of space. This comes directly from the club which gave House its brand name: in restructuring records for his dance floor, Warehouse DJ Frankie Knuckles had to take into account the sheer nsient (short term solution).
