(continuum books, london)

a lecture in sound - and a sound lecture! let the godfather of british music journalism, mr. RAP ATTACK and OCEAN OF SOUND himself, teach you with his unmistakable mixture of multimedia lecture and dj set, when words and music (and the meaning of both) become one.

DAVID TOOP started as a musician, playing with the most significant names of experimental and improvised music in london's meandrous music scene of the late 60es and 70es before becoming curious in new york's burgeoning rap scene and writing RAP ATTACK, the first book trying to establish a theory of hiphop music, as early as 1984.
