This book is great. His photography truly conveys the essence of that world we enter into when we want to create. He writes a blurb about how he encountered each DJ/Producer. He puts a short discograpy of the producer, but the rest is pics.
So I just decided to get it myself.My only criticism is the list of producers he didn't put in this book. The world we've made for our music that's full of snapshots, pieces, dusty loops, and complexly configured equipment. THis book is a great gift for any hiphop head, producer, studio music lover. Oh well maybe a Vol. I had it on my Christmas/b-day list for years and no one copped it for me. Raph, amassed a nice volume that really captures the essence of the "home/bedroom" studio.
The lab. 2 is in order. Each snippet even contains a few spelling errors (normally that gets to me, but for this genre I just think it works). This is the best part of the book.
Each studio also confirms my hypothesis: the cleaner the home studio environment/setup, the less that actually gets done. I've never spent so much time analyzing a photo book. Each picture occupies me with about five minutes of psychoanalysis, trying to figure out the motives behind each piece of gear or memorabilia in the pictures.
So, it's actually good for the up and comers, that are on a budget to see that, just because you don't have million dollar equipment, doesn't mean you can't make million dollar records.-David Grants. I recently purchased this book about a month ago, and I was very pleased with the quality of the photographs this book had. I was also surprised that some of the producers featured in the book had a lot smaller set ups than I imagined.
A lot of the producers in there are not mainstream and he loves that. I bought this for my boyfriend as a gift a couple years ago (he is a hip hop head) and it is seriously his favorite book. He loves going through the different studios and it seriously inspires him.
real nice book this book is awesome, would recommend this book to anyone who is into music, a dj.
