In 17, Drummond analyzes the past, present, and possible future of music and the ways in which we hear and relate to it. He references his own contributions to the canon of popular music, and he provides fascinating insider portraits of the industry and its protagonists. But above all, he questions our ideas of music and our attitude to sound, introducing us throughout this provocative and superbly written book to his current work, The17.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 17 (Hardcover)
"Imagine, waking up tomorrow, all music has disappeared."I read this over a year ago and just like all of the other books I've read by the author, I couldn't put it down. Finished it in 2 or 3 days. It probably would have been better to have read it slower because it made me think. But I couldn't stop reading. The same thing happened with "The Manual", "Wild Highway", "45" and I'm sure the new one that's coming out in April too. It doesn't matter what it's about. It's impossible to explain this multi-dimensional thinking anyways. All that matters is that it's a good book and your life will be better having read it. The Tunnel EP
