A very informative look at the recording history of Nirvana. I would say it is aimed at the more die-hard fans. The only let down was finding out that it is more of a log of their sessions as opposed to going into more detail of the equipment used, etc.
99% of all music you hear is recorded music. How individual manifestations of this phenomena come about fascinate me. Four or five people sit around and work on something and then scores of millions of people listen to it. There are particularities to every recording and those particularities are preserved in perpetuity. Nothing else is so ephemeral and concrete at the same time.
Really good research. Good work Rob!
