Worth Searching For

This is a classic book, not just about "new age" music (and all the negative connotations that embodies) but new music in general from electronic to world to folk to rock. John Schaefer, the host of radio's program of the same name here provides an insight into all forms of new music, though admittedly it is a bit weak in the rock arena. Other than that this out of print book opens up new listening environments for those seeking them. If only it were updated.
