Interesting Interview with Greg Milner on NPR


My friend Craig sent me the following link to an interesting interview on NPR I thought some of you might enjoy. Here's what he had to say:

"Greg Milner, Author of the book Perfecting Sound Forever: An Aural History of Recorded Music which is about how sound recording has changed since Edison, and how it has changed the way our ears hear things [ala do half assed recordings effect the way we hear the human voice singing]...and gets into the loss of dynamics in modern popular music [the "loudness wars"] and the over compression of everything.

There is a link to listen to the segment [about 20 minutes] on the page...was very interesting.
