After a two-year process of documentation and interviews with the main figures in British pop and rock from 1975 to 2005, Richard King has produced one of the most vibrant pieces of music writing of late. It's a story of the independent labels, their promoters, and their remarkable contributions to the culture industry of the late 20th century. Tras un proceso de documentaci???n de dos a???os y entrevistas con los principales actores de la escena, Richard King ha compuesto uno de los ensayos de la literatura musical m???s vibrantes de los ???ltimos tiempos. "Freak Scene" documenta la fascinante historia de los sellos independientes de la m???sica pop y rock brit???nica, desde 1975 a 2005. Tras el advenimiento del punk y su consigna del "do it yourself" como reacci???n a la pr???ctica habitual en la industria musical, donde el acceso a los medios de producci???n estaba reservado a la ???lite, una generaci???n de j???venes brit???nicos se imbuy??? de este esp???ritu iconoclasta y radical, y sin apenas conocimientos de econom???a o de marketing, y sin ning???n sentido empresarial, se embarc??? en la creaci???n de algunos de los sellos que marcar???an el rumbo creativo de la m???sica pop. Fundados en dormitorios, garajes o buhardillas, surgieron proyectos como Factory, Rough Trade, Mute, Postcard, Beggars Banquet, 4AD, Creation, Blast First, Warp o Domino, que reinventaron el panorama musical. Nac???a as??? la m???sica "indie" o "alternativa", con bandas como Orange Juice, New Order, Depeche Mode, The Smiths, Cocteau Twins, Happy Mondays, Sonic Youth, Primal Scream, My Bloody Valentine, Teenage Fanclub, The White Stripes, Franz Ferdinand o Arctic Monkeys, entre otras muchas. "Freak Scene" cuenta la historia de estos sellos independientes y sus exaltados promotores, que, partiendo del amateurismo m???s apasionado, generaron, sin buscarlo, una de las experiencias m???s f???rtiles y exitosas de la industria cultural de la segunda mitad del siglo xx. Es tambi???n el relato de su fracaso comercial, pues casi todas estas discogr???ficas acabaron muriendo de ???xito, o sucumbiendo a la atracci???n del abismo del rock and roll y sus excesos.
