Japrocksampler | Julian Cope

1 post | 1 read | 1 to read

Julian Cope, eccentric and visionary rock musician, follows the runaway underground success of his book Krautrocksampler with Japrocksampler, a cult deconstruction of Japanese rock music, and reveals what really happened when East met West after World War Two. It explores the clash between traditional, conservative Japanese values and the wild rock 'n' roll renegades of the 1960s and 70s, and tells of the seminal artists in Japanese post-war culture, from itinerant art-house poets to violent refusenik rock groups with a penchant for plane hijacking.

Japrocksampler | Julian Cope

This is such an excellent introduction to, history, and review of Japanese rock music. If you want information on J-pop, this is not for you. Cope writes about innovators who may not be household names but who deeply influenced other musicians and created their own brand of rock. Some I saw in real time.
