Re/Search J. G. Ballard no. 8/9
The writings of J. G. Ballard featuring Interviews, fiction, non-fiction, bibliography and more..

J. G. Ballard has inspired the post punk movement more than most people know. Joy Division wrote a song about the short story, Atrocity Exhibition, inspired bands likeThrobbing Gristle and inspired the attitude of 70's-80's disparity with his dystopian writing.

Bio: 
"In the early years RE/SEARCH gained international attention by introducing the world to artists such as William S. Burroughs, J.G. Ballard, Genesis P-Orridge, SPK, Monte Cazazza, and many others. RE/SEARCH has continued to remain vital in its lengthy history by refusing to adhere to a formula for an easily identifiable “Punk Culture.” Its best-selling books include The Industrial Culture Handbook (which inspired 10,000 “noise music” bands), Incredibly Strange Films (little-known filmmakers), Incredibly Strange Music Vol. One and Two (little-known vinyl LPs), Modern Primitives (which launched the body-piercing underground), Pranks (and its follow-up, Pranks 2).."

These books have inspired and influenced so many people and at the time, this was THE only way to learn and hear about Counter Culture and things left of center. Without V. Vale, the punk world and counter culture of the 70's-90's would have been very different. Because of his work, punk and culture was able to reach the far corners. Thank you V. Vale!!
