From our CD collections to iPods bursting with MP3s to the hallowed
vinyl of DJs, recordings are the most common way we experience
music. Perfecting Sound Forever tells the story of recorded music,
introducing us to the innovators, musicians and producers who have
affected the way we hear our favourite songs, from Thomas Edison to
Phil Spector. Exploring the balance that recordings strike between
the real and the represented, Greg Milner asks the questions which
have divided sound recorders for the past century: should a
recording document reality as faithfully as possible, or should it
improve upon or somehow transcend the music it records? What does
the perfect record sound like? The answers he uncovers will change
the way we think about music.
