Rip It Up and Start Again is the first book-length exploration of the wildly adventurous music created in the years after punk. Renowned music journalist Simon Reynolds celebrates the futurist spirit of such bands as Joy Division; Gang of Four; Talking Heads; and Devo; which resulted in endless innovations in music; lyrics; performance; and style and continued into the early eighties with the video-savvy synth-pop of groups such as Human League; Depeche Mode; and Soft Cell; whose success coincided with the rise of MTV. Full of insight and anecdotes and populated by charismatic characters; Rip It Up and Start Again re-creates the idealism; urgency; and excitement of one of the most important and challenging periods in the history of popular music.
