Musicians have often wanted to change the world. From underground
innovators to pop icons many have believed in the political power
of music. Rulers recognise it too. Music has been used to challenge
the political and social order - and to prop up the status quo.
Sound System is the story of one musician's journey to discover
what makes music so powerful. Dave Randall uses his insider's
knowledge of the industry to shed light on the secrets of
celebrity, commodification and culture. This is a book of raves,
riots and revolution. From the Glastonbury Festival to the Arab
Spring, Pop Idol to Trinidadian Carnival, Randall finds political
inspiration across the musical spectrum and poses the question: how
can we make music serve the interests of the many, rather than the
few? Published in partnership with the Left Book Club.

Sound System is the key to unlock artist boundaries

The book Sound system has given me a different perspective about music s a musician myself. It has elevated the way that I feel and think of music as it is not just talent but it can be turned into a business with its influence to the people and the entertainment industry. This book has been teaching me how to respect and take my music seriously. I recommend this book to musicians , music company owners or workers in order for them to develop critical thinking to promote and grow their music. Its a beautiful and powerful book. I do not regret having it , I appreciate it.
