Cover blurb: Time Lords, Moogs & Mellotrons takes the reader on a progressive musical journey through the classic series of Doctor Who. Author Gian-Luca Di Rocco examines the special relationship between Doctor Who and Progressive Rock — two forms of intellectual, eccentric, non-conformist yet popular forms of entertainment that emerged from 1960s Britain. Di Rocco analyzes how both Doctor Who and Progressive Rock were defined and heavily shaped by philosophical beliefs and concerns they shared with members of the 1960s counterculture. In doing so, he provides unique insights that offer a fresh perspective for understanding and enjoying both classic Doctor Who and Progressive Rock. This unique text reviews every single story of the classic era of Doctor Who (1983-1989) and identifies what was progressive about each story, and what each story shares in common with the music, lyrics or ideology of Progressive Rock. Each story is accompanied by suggested “musical pairings”, which recommend to the reader what Progressive Rock tracks to listen to following a re-watch of a classic, proper Doctor Who story. Taking turns being both fun and insightful, Time Lords, Moogs & Mellotrons is a must-have for anyone who is a fan of classic Doctor Who and Progressive Rock — or both. |
