4.0 out of 5 stars Yikes
It's quite scary, you know, that there are so many things that we don't understand that happen when we pop that cd in player. Fortunately, through the words of Robin MacOnie, there is hope in educating the populace of the subliminal happenings of the music industry today. Anybody who reads this book will be infinitely more educated about a seemingly simple past-time...

2.0 out of 5 stars Concept of Music ????????????
If you can get past the literary labyrinthine this guy has weaved, the there is some good and interesting information to be had, hence the two stars. His constant use of elaborate words comes off indulgent, pretentious, and sonorous.
If you don't know what the previous words mean, then you better buy a dictionary or thesaurus with this book, because it is cluttered...

If you don't know what the previous words mean, then you better buy a dictionary or thesaurus with this book, because it is cluttered with needless jargon* (* he would have used-colloquialism). Even for someone who knows these words off-hand, it can be exhausting to read this book.... It's a regular "dog and pony show' (elaborate presentation meant to impress)...
