Editorial Reviews

Review

"A bracing book that made me realize I'd never really 'heard' so many records I had listened to for decades. It is chiseled, lucid, beautifully written, and so vivid it somehow lets you hear every example without benefit of audio." (Luc Sante, author of Low Life and The Factory of Facts )

Product Description

The untold story of acoustic effects in popular music.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Echo and Reverb: Fabricating Space in Popular Music Recording, 1900-1960 (Music Culture) (Paperback)

Completely worthless. Somehow this dolt has managed to equate reverb to class struggles within society. Mostly he just blathers on with verbose statements that say nothing. Truly a waste of time and money. It's not about echo and reverb, it's not about music, it IS about some vest pocket intellectual stroking his own ego.
