With the possible exception of Led Zeppelin, no British rock band of the 1970s paid closer attention than Pink Floyd to the potent magic a well-designed album cover could lend to music the album contained. Much like Zeppelin, it's almost ...             Eye of the Storm: The Album Graphics of Storm Thorgerson1 review Storm Thorgerson Sanctuary Publishing Ltd, 1999 Arrange Your *Eye* Examination Soon Storm Thorgerson is best known, of course, as the premiere album art designer with a 30-year association with Pink Floyd. If you became fond of his work because you're a PF fan, you don't want to miss this book just because Floyd art isn't the primary focus this time around.

I watched them from the Hellhammer days(I love the apocalyptic raids e.p.) when Bernard Doe(metal forces Editor) said they were complete crap to rising up to the top of the heap of 80's thrash metal as Celtic Frost. This book portrays the rise and fall of a metal titan. Frost music was playing in my head as I read this. Tom's story had me shaking my head ...             Bass Culture: The John Entwistle Guitar Collection15 reviews Music Sales, John Entwistle Sanctuary Publishing, Ltd., 2004 If you grew up looking in Bass Player, catalogs, etc... The book speaks for itself, a fantastic collection of some of the most fabled basses (and guitars) in rockdom. I confess to wanting some or nearly all of these guitars at one time or another; to see them gave me a severe case of GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome)! The only thing I would've liked more was to see more of the background on the guitars, how Mr. Entwistle happened to acquire them.             Sound Revolutions: A Biography of Fred Gaisberg, Founding Father of Commercial Sound Recording1 review Jerrold Northrop Moore Sanctuary Publishing, Ltd., 1999 Outstanding memoir of sound recording How sound recording evolved through the life of the person who was there from the beginning and into the first l.p.'s.

If you're a real Prodigy fan you'll ...             Glass: A Portrait1 review Robert Maycock Sanctuary Publishing, Ltd., 2002 Not really a biography, but a terrific reference book Finally there's a comprehensive book about Glass and his music, with a musicologist's approach. I think it's exactly the book that was needed, because, even if traces mr.Glass's biography in very broad strokes, the book is more of anan analysis of his music in its different forms. I think it's a terrific book because: 1- It's by an independent writer, so no hagiography, but a very objective and ...             Inspirations: Original Lyrics and the Stories Behind the Greatest Songs Ever Written1 review Sanctuary Publishing, Ltd., 1999 Amazing book...
