Dance Music for a Gone Planet; Sonya Dorman (1968)

It's quite amazing to realize I read nearly all of these in the original, and so long ago. Some of these were the first entry into the marketplace by the author; others were by people not associated otherwise with the field. On the whole, it's an excellent addition to my library. ( )
