Review of 'Sonic warfare' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Speculative musical philosophy of the best kind, Goodman's book reads like a synthesis of so many ideas and rhythms that one overflows from reading it. Personally, I find the beginning more interesting than the end, but this is a matter of my preference for sensory overload versus afrofuturism. Both subjects (and more) are richly developed.
