The Logic Off Topic list

hehehe Phil Pecker is actually Phil Spector, you might find some info here:

Seargant Pepper was an album by the Beatles (you should have heard of them).
George Martin was their producer and set up Air studios (now buried beneath
lava in Montesserat, ah well...)

You might try searching for info on the Beachboys 'Pet Sounds'
http://www.beachboys.com/raritiesIV.html for a start

Then there is the whole home studio phenomenon and the argument whether this
improves music by allowing more people get involved or whether it erodes the
standards set by generations of properly (and I mean self-taught to....)
trained musicians and producers. Some say this encourages innovation, I
think it encourages everybody to play the 'me too' game and try to sound
like everybody else.

Also the availability of good quality (and poor quality...) sample
libraries - that make everybody sound the same.

Then what napster/mp3.com has done for changing the way people view music
distribution and copyright.

Copyright is a good and bad thing. Good in that it allows creators of music
keep control of their product, but bad in that multinationals can beat
consumers over the head with copyright as in the latest piracy-protected CD
scandal (where the majors were shipping faulty CD's that are not meant to
work in computer CD players).

Time was when people insisted on having an object to hold as they listened
to music - CD's, LP's etc. are really fetish objects in this context. The
new objects that people want to have and hold might be MP3 players etc. The
music itself MAY be secondary, just a sound bite in conversation - 'yeah I
have the latest from XYZ, downloaded it from nickster.org'.

Whatcha think yourself?
