Eschewing the usual criteria of chart success or acknowledged influence, the Copendium - a collection of album reviews and themed track samplers - takes energy, originality and heaviness as its bearings. The result is a feast of obscure and neglected masterworks that together form a surprising but entirely credible new tradition. Krautrock, motorik and post-punk, stoner and doom metal, occasionally even jazz, spoken word and hair metal: they are all represented in a wholly persuasive sequence.Cope is the perfect guide to this novel terrain: impeccably informed, passionate, insightful and deeply funny. The Copendium is his re-imagining of a useful canon of popular music, and it is set to become required reading.

"Welcome to Sardinia: my hell, my home, my prison, my meditation these past sixteen years. What a place to die. But that's precisely why I was back."When drugged-up Time Traveller and '80s musical burnout Rock Section and his fellow English hooligans get kidnapped during Italia '90, there are ruinous implications. But now Rock has returned to Sardinia one final time to settle some scores and uncover the truth. He believes only Dutch cult leader Judge Barry Hertzog, still incarcerated on the island for the crime, can provide the answers. But through prescription drugs, the persistence of his driver Anna and a quest for the hidden ancient doorways strewn around Sardinia's only highway, the 131, Rock will discover that a greater truth awaits him. Judgement, consequences, hoodwinking on a grand scale, Gnosticism versus agnosticism...131 is a Gnostic whodunit that pursues readers' memories of all previous fiction into a peat bog and impales them with seven-foot-long pikes.

Julian Cope, eccentric and visionary rock musician, follows the runaway underground success of his book "Krautrocksampler" with "Japrocksampler", a cult deconstruction of Japanese rock music, and reveals what really happened when East met West after World War Two. It explores the clash between traditional, conservative Japanese values and the wild rock 'n' roll renegades of the 1960s and 70s, and tells of the seminal artists in Japanese post-war culture, from itinerant art-house poets to violent refusenik rock groups with a penchant for plane hijacking.

JAPROCKSAMPLER, mitad libro de historia, mitad crítica musical inspiradísima y libérrima à la Lester Bangs, es un revelador estudio del rock y la música underground del Japón desde la posguerra hasta mediados de los setenta. Julian Cope —ex frontman de The Teardrop Explodes y artífice de una dilatada carrera musical en solitario— nos presenta, en un estilo que rezuma erudición, humor y pasión, un universo hasta ahora ignoto de bandas de iconoclastas de todo pelaje que produjeron algunos de los sonidos más alucinantes del rock de todos los tiempos. A partir de las peripecias de la música experimental de la escena jazzística de los cincuenta, pasando por el fenómeno del eleki —o la particular obsesión de los japoneses por el rock and roll made in USA y la guitarra eléctrica—, al estallido del llamado "group sounds" —como denominaban en el país del sol naciente al pop-rock que irrumpió tras la eclosión de los Beatles—, Cope ilumina, en la segunda parte de este volumen, la trayectoria de algunas de las bandas y músicos más extravagantes de la historia, como el inclemente feedback de guitarras y ruido blanco de Les Rallizes Denudés del heterodoxo Takeshi Mizutani, el hard rock de tintes orientalizantes de Flower Travellin' Band, el blues drogota y demencial de Speed, Glue & Shinki, la música inclasificable para artes escénicas de J. A. Caesar o el misticismo psicodélico de Taj Mahal Travellers, e infinidad de grupos más. El libro se complementa con un top 50, donde el autor selecciona y comenta los mejores álbumes del rock nipón de todos los tiempos. En definitiva, una obra mayúscula sobre un terreno tan inexplorado como fascinante como es la música underground del Japón.
