Analog Days, the book.

anyone here read it?

just picked up a hardcover copy at a used bookstore, didn't even realize at first that the dust jacket unfolds into a schematic of the Minimoog.

good read so far.

I read it a couple of years ago. Not bad!

Another one that I enjoyed was "How to Wreck a Nice Beach" by Dave Tompkins - about the history of the vocoder. I actually found it more interesting than Analog Days. It covers more territory inside and outside music history.

they had a couple of copies of that, I figured there was a better chance of finding it if/when I ever make it back to that particular bookstore.

but I'll definitely put it on my list. ;)
