From reviews of "Urban Spacemen":"[He] brings to this volume a true fan's love of music combined with a writer's smarts and skills. He seamlessly combines researched material with new interviews...Not only did Unterberger choose well musically, but he found the momentum and heart of each of their stories." -- David Greenberger
(essayist on National Public Radio's "All Things Considered"), Pulse!
"These fascinating tales will make you want to rush out to the record store -- a hallmark of all great music writing." -- Jim DeRogatis, Chicago Sun-Times
"In each fascinating case study the author tracks down one or more former group members and/or principals in the story, which gives his work both authority and freshness...his overall handling of the material is exemplary. "Urban Spacemen" forms a compelling mosaic of the hopes and dreams -- not to mention sharp business practices -- of the decade." -- Mike Barnes (author of the biography "Captain Beefheart"), The Wire
