During the 1970s, the synthesizer spurred many fundamental shifts
in the mechanisms of music-making. Along with the popularization of
the musical aesthetics established by both the punk and post-punk
movements, the synthesizer led to ground-breaking effects and
processes. Dark Waves examines the role of the synthesizer in
shaping the dark and dystopian sound of electronic music in 1970s
Britain and is the first collected musicological analysis of The
Normal, Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire and John Foxx. Many of
these acts, dark in content, presentation and manner, would go on
to influence the more commercial sound of 1980s synth pop, which in
turn shaped mainstream electronic music today.
