Synopsis
First published in 1987 and now considered a classic, The Recording Angel charts the ways in which the phonograph and its cousins have transformed our culture. In a new Afterword, Evan Eisenberg shows how digital technology, file trading, and other recent developments are accelerating—or reversing—these trends. Influential and provocative, The Recording Angel is required reading for anyone who cares about the effect recording has had—and will have—on our experience of music.
Library Journal
Eisenberg updates his 1987 original, which traced the influence of the phonograph and recorded music on culture, to include digital technology and file trading. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
