Highly entertaining all-in guide to music and sound
This book certainly attempts a lot! The history of recorded sound all the way through to a glimpse at the future, via some of the main desktop music and audio production packages for Mac and PC.

If you're a beginner (or just interested like me) I'd really recommend it. Unlike many books on this topic which are dull instruction manuals, or essays by geeks, this book is also a good read! Funny in places, and often controversial (especially about licensing and piracy stuff!).

There's loads of pictures, interviews with sound engineers at Peter Gabriel's studio, Adult, Dat Politics, a games audio guy, and a whole bunch else. There's a few omissions and minor quibbles, but it's fun, erudite, and very colourfully illustrated.
