Dave Grohl's Sound City movie is fantastic - anyone reading this blog will love it. Grab it now !
(I do have some reservations about the film, which were expressed really clearly in this post from Tape Op magazine - but it's still a great watch.)
BUT
At the end of the film, we see Dave recording an album inspired by Sound City Studios - and sadly the amazing analogue sound Dave loves so much and talks about into the film hasn't survived 100% intact onto the final CD.
Not because of some imaginary intrinsic flaw in digital audio, but because of the Loudness Wars... again.
Take a look at the video to see what I mean - and if you agree with my viewpoint, please help spread the word by sharing it wherever and whenever you can !
You can hear the whole Sound City album here.
