Dear Dr Negus,

Enclosed please find three copies of my essay '"Let the Bass Kick, All I'm Offering is the Truth": Techno, Science Fiction, and the Critique of Economic Rationalization' for submission to Popular Music.

The essay, including end matter, comprises 3240 words (12 pages in total); three copies each of the two photographs to which the essay refers are also enclosed. Please note that I have tried to document some of the 'underground' cultural productions studied herein - e.g. white label records, dance party performances, online forum postings - with as close adherence as their available data permit to your journal's citation specifications.

Thank you for considering this submission to your journal. I look forward to your reply.

With my best regards,
