>> I quite liked it, despite the fact that KJ don't actually get much space and are generally described as a goth band. Even so, he's obviously done a lot of listening and a lot of research. He covers acts that have been largely ignored elsewhere, and has certainly pointed me in the direction of some decent music. I don't agree with all of his conclusions or his ideas, but it's an excellent read and likely to be the only one of it's kind.
