"These profit margins inspired Soundtracks…. In an era when American racists openly turn to record sales for cash, European fascists fund parliamentary campaigns with benefit CDs, Swedish neo-Nazi distributor Nordland donates to the British National Party and a BNP-linked English record company gives money to Louisiana bigot-pol David Duke, a fresh understanding of right-wing music is clearly in order.

"In its stylistic fissures, racist music mirrors the far right's longstanding splits between old-fashioned Euro-fascists, aging American rednecks, off-brand Christians, extreme anti-Christians, Hitler fetishists, wanna-be Vikings and oi-loving skins. As Soundtracks… makes abundantly clear, though, music can provide a focus for hate in a way pure politics can't."

-Zach Dundas, Willamette Week

----------

"This is a well researched reference detailing white power music and its reach into youth culture. The work covers Oi!, black metal, and punk in adding info that you probably didn't know and dispelling rumors."

-Tad Thomas, Attitude Records

----------

"Soundtracks… is a vital resource for anyone concerned about youth. It sheds light on hate music without demonizing youth culture. I would recommend it to any parent, teacher, or young person interested in safeguarding culture from the dangers of organized bigotry."

-Jonathon Levine, Midwest Regional Director, American Jewish Committee

----------

"While music can convey a message of white power, it can also be an effective tool in countering hatred. But if we are to fight fire with fire, we need to know what we are dealing with. Soundtracks… is a key tool in that first step, understanding the dynamics of white power music."

-Naisy Dolar, Director - Advisory Council on Asian Affairs, Chicago Commission on Human Relations

----------

"School grounds, music club scenes, and record stores are the new battle zones. Soundtracks… is the ammo. Stock multiple copies and hand them out until you can see no more whiteness in their eyes."


-Leonard Zeskind, President - Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights

----------

"Soundtracks... is an eye opening detail into the growing realm of racial hatred being spread through youth music. With information on the rise in nationalism and racial division thanks in part to the black metal scene and various skinhead clans nationwide, this book presents facts on the World Church of the Idiots and their march towards Aryan domination of the US. Soundtracks... is an alarm to the public that shound the great distress of the outh of this nation who are being revved up for racial seperation... It is a book that should be in every classroom and updated as frequently as possible. Warning the kids is the easy part; eliminating the hate will take the brunt of the work."

-Tom Molony, The Process
