DAGBLADET
‘Audun Moldes book shows the recognizable traces of the development of POP through history. Unlike many of those who write about popmusic, the musicologist Molde also has the knowledge of tones, building of rhythm and the peculiarities of the composition of the different genres. A clean presentation of the greater facts can also be good narration.’
