DESCRIPTION
Still In A Dream: Shoegaze, Slackers And The Reinvention Of Rock, 1984-1994 by Simon Reynolds is an extensive history of the underground guitar music that transformed alternative rock during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Reynolds explores the emergence of shoegaze, noise pop, slacker rock and grunge, combining music history with his own experience reporting on the scene as it developed.

Written by one of contemporary music journalism's most respected critics, it is a substantial reference for fans of alternative and independent music.
