At SynthFest 2023, we had the opportunity to chat with Richard from Omnibus Press, the publisher of the book Listening to the Music the Machines Make: Inventing Electronic Pop, 1978 to 1983.
The book delves into the vibrant era of electronic pop music in Britain during the late '70s and early '80s. Featuring a foreword by Vince Clark, the book offers a unique perspective on the musical landscape of the time.
It takes readers on a journey through this influential period, exploring the stories of iconic bands like Human League, Depeche Mode, Soft Cell, and more. Richard's approach involved meticulous research into original press materials, such as NME, Melody Maker, and Sounds, to provide an authentic and comprehensive account of the era's music scene. While the book touches on the impact of synthesizers, it primarily focuses on the artists and their musical contributions. For those interested in the rich history of electronic pop, this book is a must-read.
