Altered State: The Story of Ecstasy Culture and Acid House

“I can’t recommend this marvellous piece of work enough.” —Irvine Welsh Altered State— now updated — is the definitive text on ecstasy culture, using a cast of characters to track the origins of the scene through psychedelic subcults, underground gay discos, and the Balearic paradise of Ibiza. It examines the ideologies and myths, documenting the criminal underside to the blissed-out image, and shedding light on the social history of the most spectacular youth movement of the twentieth century. Matthew Collin is the author of Guerrilla Radio and The Time of the Rebels . He now reports for Al Jazeera from Tbilisi in Georgia. "This well-written social history will become a standard for those wanting to understand British youth culture and music" -Library Journal "An astute blend of media reportage and oral histories into a tale as irresistible as the culture that inspired it." - Wired "Altered State is not just timely; it was crying out to be written." -Independent Matthew Collin is the author of the critically acclaimed books Guerrilla Radio, and The Time of the Rebels. He has worked for the BBC from Georgia and has written for a wide range of newspapers and magazines. He now reports for Al Jazeera from Georgia. Used Book in Good Condition
