Greg Milner not only introduces us to the revolution in sound recording, he also sheds light on a part of the history of music that is all too often overlooked. From Thomas Edison's tone tests to Phil Spector's "wall of sound", from the Red Hot Chili Peppers' MP3 hits to Les Paul, King Tubby, Steve Albini and Neil Young, this book tells the story of men fascinated by music and its capture. Greg Milner shows not only how music has driven the development of recording technology, but also how recording technology itself has influenced music. Perfecting Sound Forever marks a turning point in the history of music and its narrative.
