It was the first Brian Eno album to be composed almost completely in the confines of a recording studio, over a scant few months in the summer of 1975. The album was a proof of concept for Eno's budding ideas of \"the studio as musical instrument,\" and a signpost for a bold new way of thinking about music. In this book, Geeta Dayal unravels Another Green World's abundant mysteries, venturing into its dense thickets of sound. How was an album this cohesive and refined formed in such a seemingly ad hoc way? How were electronics and layers of synthetic treatments used to create an album so redolent of the natural world? How did a deck of cards figure into all of this?

David Bowie is holed up in his Bel-Air mansion, drifting into drug-induced paranoia and confusion. Obsessed with black magic and the Holy Grail, he's built an altar in the living room and keeps his fingernail clippings in the fridge. There are occasional trips out to visit his friend Iggy Pop in a mental institution. His latest album is the cocaine-fuelled Station To Station (Bowie: \"I know it was recorded in LA because I read it was\"), which welds R\u0026amp;B rhythms to lyrics that mix the occult with a yearning for Europe, after three mad years in the New World. Bowie has long been haunted by the angst-ridden, emotional work of the Die Brucke movement and the Expressionists. Berlin is their spiritual home, and after a chaotic world tour, Bowie adopts this city as his new sanctuary. Immediately he sets to work on Low, his own expressionist mood-piece.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expandHeader accFont\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column icon-glasses-icon iconSVG enhancedGlasses\" onclick=\"showModalExcerpt('0826416845','desc_contributorbio0826416845-content');\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expandContent\" id=\"desc_contributorbio0826416845-content\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"contribBio\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHugo Wilcken is a Paris-based, Australian-born writer and translator.

Few songwriters before Dylan or since have combined so effectively the intensely personal with the spectacularly universal. In \"Like a Rolling Stone,\" his gleeful excoriation of Miss Lonely (Edie Sedgwick? Joan Baez? a composite \"type\"?) fuses with the evocation of a hip new zeitgeist to produce a veritable anthem. In \"Ballad of a Thin Man,\" the younger generation's confusion is thrown back in the Establishment's face, even as Dylan vents his disgust with the critics who labored to catalogue him. And in \"Desolation Row,\" he reaches the zenith of his own brand of surrealist paranoia, that here attains the atmospheric intensity of a full-fledged nightmare. Between its many flourishes of gallows humor, this is one of the most immaculately frightful songs ever recorded, with its relentless imagery of communal executions, its parade of fallen giants and triumphant local losers, its epic length and even the mournful sweetness of Bloomfield's flamenco-inspired fills. In this book, Mark Polizzotti examines just what makes the songs on Highway 61 Revisited so affecting, how they work together as a suite, and how lyrics, melody, and arrangements combine to create an unusually potent mix. He blends musical and literary analysis of the songs themselves, biography (where appropriate) and recording information (where helpful). And he focuses on Dylan's mythic presence in the mid-60s, when he emerged from his proletarian incarnation to become the American Rimbaud. The comparison has been made by others, including Dylan, and it illuminates much about his mid-sixties career, for in many respects Highway 61 is rock 'n' roll's answer to A Season in Hell.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expandHeader accFont\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"columnSpaced icon-drop-up-icon-01 iconDropDown\" id=\"desc_contributorbio0826417752-arrow\" onclick=\"javascript:toggleLayer('desc_contributorbio0826417752');\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column icon-glasses-icon iconSVG enhancedGlasses\" onclick=\"showModalExcerpt('0826417752','desc_contributorbio0826417752-content');\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expandContent\" id=\"desc_contributorbio0826417752-content\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"contribBio\"\u003eMark Polizzotti's previous books include the collaborative novel\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eS.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(1991),\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eLautréamont Nomad\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(1994),\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eRevolution of the Mind: The Life of André Breton\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(1995),\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe New Life: Poems\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(1998), and a study of Luis Buñuel's\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eLos Olvidados\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efor the British Film Institute (2006).

For a young music fan, it's frustrating: no one tours there, cool people leave, etc. So when you run into something like The Replacements' seminal Let It Be, it's akin to water in the desert. If you're Meloy, leader of the Decembrists, it can change the direction of your life. This book won't tell you much about Let it Be or The Replacements, but it well conveys the grip that something like \"Sixteen Blue\" can have on a person- and why. When Paul Westerberg singe \"Meet me anyplace or anywhere or anytime\" in \"I Will Dare,\" it can resonate like a call in the dark. Meloy recounts finding a shrine in the band at the 400 Club in Minneapolis in 2003, and his reaction is priceless. A great record becomes an active, emotional experience that stays with you forever. For Meloy, it helped in setting the course of his future, and he expresses how and why in a compelling, engaging style.\" The Big Takeover\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"quoteReview\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"quoteReview\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"Willed or not, Meloy seems vulnerable in Let It Be, the 16th entry of 33 1\/3's essays on really important albums series. The books typically boast chip-on-shoulder critical rigor; by contrast, Meloy reduces Let It Be to a small but crucial role in his own coming-of-age memoir. First reounting his purchase of the album as a grade-schooler, Meloy then concentrates on his punky, homoerotic adolescence in cornfed, homophobic Montana. In each anecdote, Let It Be plays deus ex machina, swooping down to rescue the young Meloy from his identity crises. These are solid short-short stories with bona fide epiphanies--that they shed light on Meloy's past only makes them more engaging.\" --Nick Sylvester, Village Voice, 1\/11\/05 -Nick Sylvester \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"quoteReview\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"quoteReview\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"Meloy is a student of fiction and his imaginative songs for The Decemberists document just that. But here, Meloy treats his affiliation with Let It Be as a metaphor for youth, his experience surrounding it almost a bildungsroman-all through the use of memoir. Meloy's voice is similar to that of David Sedaris, finding comedy in small things, finding uplift in sadness. In Meloy's remembrances we recall what it is to discover music, to fall in love with it (as many of us did before we fell in love with people, leaving the music of our youth our only true first love). This one's a keeper. --Zack Adcock, The Hub Weekly, 1\/13\/05\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Continuum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39545735282743,"sku":"9780826416339","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0086\/6218\/8087\/files\/new-book-let-it-be-33-1-3-paperback-31003701870647.jpg?v=1707931932"},{"product_id":"the-rolling-stones-exile-on-main-st-33-13","title":"The Rolling Stones' Exile on Main St. (33 1\/3)  - Paperback","description":"The Rolling Stones' Exile on Main St. (33 1\/3)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Janovitz, Bill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublication Date: 02\/19\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eJanowitz (singer, guitarist, songwriter) uses personal accounts and interviews to explore the historical and social context in which this seminal rock album by the Rolling Stones was created.

This book begins with a discussion of their contemporary importance, and how they have sustained their enduring appeal as performers and recording artists. The focus then returns to their ambitions when they first started out, arguing that they both shared the aspirations of the Beat Generation of Ginsberg, Kerouac and Corso to be as famous as Dylan Thomas and live the life of his sense of unconditional social irresponsibility. The 'Rimbaud of Cwmdonkin Drive' took America by storm, demonstrating that the bohemian poet could earn a living outside the academy. The fame of Dylan and Cohen, while it fluctuated over the decades, was sustained and was sustainable because they self-consciously adopted different personas, or masks, to distance themselves from the public self. This necessarily requires an exploration of their relation to religion as avenues to find and preserve their inner identities. Their lyrics and poetry are explored in the context of the relation between poetry and song, and of Lorca's concepts of the poetry of inspiration, and the deep dark emotional depths of 'duende.' Such ideas draw upon the dislocation of the mind, and the liberation of the senses that so struck Dylan and Cohen when they first read the poetry and letters of Arthur Rimbaud and Federico Garcâia Lorca. We see that the performance and the poetry are integral, and the 'duende,' or passion, of the delivery, is inseparable from the lyric or poetry, and common to Dylan, Cohen and the Beat Generation\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39545934086199,"sku":"9781501345661","price":30.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0086\/6218\/8087\/files\/new-book-bob-dylan-and-leonard-cohen-deaths-and-entrances-david-boucher-and-lucy-boucher-paperback-31064147361847.jpg?v=1720757498"},{"product_id":"say-it-one-time-for-the-brokenhearted-country-soul-in-the-american-south-3rd-ed","title":"Say It One Time for the Brokenhearted: Country Soul in the American South (3RD ed.)","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-nostyle a-vertical a-spacing-none detail-bullet-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eby \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-width=\"\" class=\"author notFaded\"\u003eBarney Hoskyns \u003cspan class=\"contribution\" spacing=\"none\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-color-secondary\"\u003e(Author), \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-width=\"\" class=\"author notFaded\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s\/ref=dp_byline_sr_book_2?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;field-author=William+Bell\u0026amp;text=William+Bell\u0026amp;sort=relevancerank\u0026amp;search-alias=books\" class=\"a-link-normal\"\u003eWilliam Bell\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cspan class=\"contribution\" spacing=\"none\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-color-secondary\"\u003e(Foreword)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePublisher ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBMG Books; Third edition (August 14, 2018)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003eFascinated by the collision of country and soul music in the Southern states, Hoskyns and photographer Muir MacKean set out on a journey through the American South to explore the phenomenon of primarily black singers and primarily white musicians joining forces in the 1960s to create musical magic in an era of racial tension.
