Antes de leer este libro, hay algo que debes saber. Esto es mucho más que una biografía de una banda brillante e icónica. Este libro es una reflexión sobre la sociedad, sobre el cambio de culturas y valores, y traza el desarrollo de la música electrónica underground durante las últimas cinco décadas. Es un viaje profundamente honesto y provocador escrito desde la perspectiva personal de Pedro Peñas Y Robles. A lo largo de este libro, la historia de Nitzer Ebb se desarrolla en paralelo a la historia de una vida dedicada a la música con cándidas intuiciones y revelaciones de la época. No hay duda de que, en el camino, Pedro desnuda su alma ya que no solo comparte su punto de vista y experiencias personales, sino que también abre la puerta a su vida mucho más allá de su amor y dedicación a la escena musical. Bien investigado y repleto de entrevistas con la banda, este libro debería atraer tanto a los Ebbheads como a los fanáticos de la música electrónica. Es un libro lleno de altibajos de todos los tiempos y un tributo adecuado a una de las bandas más influyentes y subestimadas de la música electrónica.

_____________________________________________
Este libro, el tercero de Pedro Peñas Y Robles (HIV+), es el último de una trilogía publicada por primera vez en francés por Camion Blanc Editions. El primer libro de la trilogía publicado en 2018 fue sobre Joy Division, el segundo sobre Nick Cave, y hoy concluye la trilogía con este vibrante homenaje a Nitzer Ebb. Esta banda, pionera de la música electrónica, conocida por sus contundentes líneas de bajo secuenciadas y su voz totalitaria, ha influido fuertemente en la escena Techno, EBM y Electro Pop, así como en bandas de renombre internacional como Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, The Prodigy, Gesaffelstein y Rammstein. Este trabajo personal y bien documentado es la primera biografía escrita sobre la banda de culto británica, Nitzer Ebb, que firmó con Mute Records y recorrió el mundo con Depeche Mode. Contiene relatos de los propios miembros de la banda, así como entrevistas a algunos de sus primeros fans y artistas de la escena Techno-Electro (Terence Fixmer, The Hacker, David Carretta, Djedjotronic, Millimetric, Pylon Records...) que hablan sobre la influencia de Nitzer Ebb en sus carreras y visión musical. Proporciona la visión íntima del autor sobre la historia de EBM que abarca un período de treinta años entretejiendo la escena Techno francesa y española.
Despues de la version francesa (ediciones Camion Blanc) hoy agotada, y de una version inglesa de lujo (Unknown Pleasures Records), esta traduccion en castellano por Ximo Noguera añade nuevas perspectivas y conlleva un prologo de José Conca (DJ residente del club Chocolate en los 80s) de la época de la Ruta del Bakalao.
