Andrew James’s review:
This classic album series is seriously the bees knees. I saw Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" episode and it was equally fantastic. Of course it really helps to like the band and enjoy the artistry, but just if you have interest in music production, the recording process and how creativity multiplies in the studio, this series is for you.
My favorite bits are sitting down with genius producer Daniel Lanois and listen as he plays with the original tracks and shows us how each song was built, track by track; even throwing in a few sounds that were recorded but never made it into the final cut of the song.
Gonna try to work my way through a bunch more of this classic album series.
I watched Apostrophe/Overnite Sensation, A Night at the Opera, and Rio all in a row one sleepy Saturday morning.
Have to agree with you about this series of documentaries. Excellent stuff!
Just watched this one and also the Nirvana - Nevermind one too, and both were well edited and gave great insight into the creative processes both for the initial vocal/instrumentation but also the mastering of the final cut.
