Back in print for the first time in some two decades, The Industrial Revolution - 25th Anniversary Edition includes the full text of a book first published at the dawn of the Industrial Music boom of the mid-1990s.

Featuringbiographies and discographies of every Industrial band functioning at the time, together with retrospectives, features, exclusive interviews and more, "The Industrial Revolution" has long been regarded as the essential guide to a musical form that promised, at one point, to become the dominant force of the decade.

Covering the entire spectrum of industrial rock bands, The Industrial Revolution remains a spellbinding introduction to... and a reminder of... the moment when experimental left field music was poised on the very edge of mainstream superstardom. Complete and unabridged.
