Sinopsis
From its first publication in 1997, Altered State established itself as the definitive text on Ecstasy and dance culture. This new edition sees Matthew Collin cast a fresh eye on the heady events of the acid house 'Summer of Love' and the rave scene's euphoric escalation into commercial excess as MDMA became a mass-market narcotic. Altered State is the best-selling book on Ecstasy culture, using a cast of memorable characters to track the origins of the scene and its drug through psychedelic subcults, underground gay discos and the Balearic paradise of Ibiza, to the point where Tony Blair was using an Ecstasy anthem as an election campaign song. Altered State critically examines the ideologies and myths of the scene, documenting the criminal underside to the blissed-out image, shedding new light on the social history of the most spectacular youth movement of the twentieth century.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This new and updated edition sees Matthew Collin revist many of his interviewees from the original book, with hindsight casting a fresh eye on the heady events of the second summer of love. When Ecstasy was first mixed with house music sometime during the 1980s, the reaction triggered a diverse youth movement. It affected music, fashion, the law, government policy and other areas of public and private life. This work trails the drug from California, through New York and onwards in the history of Ecstasy and the culture and politics that surround it. This fully revised and updated edition includes the account of the Blair administration using an Ecstasy anthem as its musical theme amongst other examples.Drawing on a wealth of background research and original interviews with key figures on both sides of the law, Altered State re-examines the causes and contexts, ideologies and myths of Ecstasy culture, dramatising its euphoric narrative from peak experience to comedown and aftermath, and shedding new light on the social history of the most spectacular youth movement of the century. New edition of the youth culture classic - first published in 1997. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
