Reviews

"""I would certainly recommend this title to any library supporting ethnomusicology or popular music at any level. Additionally, this work would also appeal to those nterested in gender studies, history, and/or politics. The numerous case studies bring theory to life and offer much to consider in an environment that underwent significant political, social, and economic change. Lange provides unique insights on central Europe's changing musical landscape, as well as how the Internet and changes in the music business impact musicians."" -- Joe C. Clark, Kent State University, Fontes Artis Musicae ""offers a fine series of manageably sized case studies that explore complex issues and intricate developments in telling detail, and without recourse to jargon. Students of modern Central Europe and of relationships between music, politics, and gender will enjoy reading it very much."" -- Christopher Goertzen, Journal of Folklore Research"
