This book is a collection of articles that have appeared in the legendary "Tape Op" magazine over the years.

These are stories about how people go about getting into the vibe of recording and music making. Bunches of amazing interviews, this is a vital piece of music history with solid ideas and inspiration for producers, mixers, and musicians scattered throughout. It's an incredible resource for people who love the process of engineering and recording music. Creative people recording in creative ways, it's great read for people who truly love to hear warmth and creativity in their recorded music. Published by Feral House. Totally cool.....

Manuel Alvarez Bravo (1902-2002) is undoubtedly the tutelary figure of Mexican photography. In many ways,
much of his work reads like the exact mirror of a country and even more of a civilization. From Mexico, he
explored everything, showed everything, interpreted everything without ever yielding to the picturesque: from
the mythical sites of the Mayan civilization to the muralist frescoes through the dramas of the Zapatista
revolution (cf. The murdered worker), he passionately questioned the essence, the texture, the subtle alchemy
of a country and a nation of which he paints the definitive philosophical portrait.

Robert Rental And Thomas Leer were both born in Port Glasgow. They moved to London in the late 1970's and became deeply involved in the post punk scene. Rental's Paralysis and Leer's Private Plane along with The Normal's Warm Leatherette/T.V.O.D. are three key electronic post punk singles, all released close to each other and all still sounding as fresh as they did on release. Rental and Leer then collaborated, releasing the outstanding album, The Bridge on Throbbing Gristle's Industrial Records in 1979. This is a hugely important album as its influence spreads far and wide from early Depeche Mode and New Order to industrial electronica. The Bridge is perhaps overlooked in favour of early Cabaret Voltaire or Human League in any discussion about the early U.K electronic scene and that is grossly unfair.

"I would always wake with the taste of blood in my mouth and a pounding headache. I would be dehydrated and disorientated. Simultaneously elated and deflated. Every time. It would always start the same way too. My vision would judder as the world turned silver and white. Dizzy and staggering, my ears ringing, I felt I was being pulled through a wall. I could hear them calling, terrifying voices urging me on. When I learnt to let go, to accept, it got easier. And then everything would stop. What happened next is confused. It was at the time, even more so now. Trying to explain is like trying to recall a dream, vivid in the instance, but the moment you awake, confused and fleeting. It is difficult to believe it actually happened. But it did. So I will try. Clouds of smoke and incense cloaked them as they circled, swirling in their wake, their forms obscured. The voices were now a whisper, words in no language I recognised. But at the time, I felt their message. One minute urging and insistent, other times mocking and accusatory. Occasionally, they would pay me no attention. I would hear them scream at one another and only rarely glimpse them among the billowing clouds. I would feel alone and lost. The final time was different. I could hear many voices, far more than usual. They appeared to be singing. Slowly the voices rose to a crescendo and then fell away as a single voice took over. Clearer than normal yet still obscure, it filled me with a tranquillity and joy the like of which I had not known and which I still crave now. And then, for the first and final time, the being appeared. And I wept. I was still weeping when I awoke, shaking and bloody-mouthed. Grandfather was sitting in a chair that he had pulled up to the sofa where I was lying under a sweat-soaked blanket. He stared intently then lent back and smiled. “They have gone,” he said. “They won’t be back. Cherish the honour, boy.” He was right. And I do."
