Sobre el libro Rip It Up and Start Again : Postpunk 1978-1984 de Simon Reynolds publicado por Penguin Books LTD al 2005:

Rip It Up and Start Again is the first book-length exploration of the wildly adventurous and wonderfully strange music created in ten 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 synthpop 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 and maverick characters, Rip It Up and Stard Again re-creates the idealism, urgency, and excitement of one of the most important and challenging periods in the history of popular music.
