內容簡介: |
"Reading Wax Poetics, Brooklyn''s glossy, reverent, visually
immaculate zine dedicated to funk, soul, hip hop, and the other
obsessions of crate-diggers worldwide, is enough to make you wish
neither compact discs nor the Internet had ever been
invented."
The Village Voice
Cover Story: Album Cover Art, the second book from celebrated
music mag Wax Poetics, vividly explores an element of music culture
that has withered with the advent of MP3s and digital downloading.
Vinyl records tell their stories visually as much as they do
aurally, and the record cover--eye candy for the music
lover--speaks a language rooted in the environment and era of the
music itself. Cover Story is a coffee-table ready collection of
rare, unique, and inspired album covers, selected by a team of
world-renowned DJs, writers, and collectors.

關於作者: |
First published in December 2001, Brooklyn-born Wax
Poetics hit newsstands with a new vision for music journalism,
creating a bridge between the past and present of Hip Hop, Jazz,
Funk, Soul, Reggae, Disco, and Latin Music. Although originally
created for a concentrated market of music aficionados, the
magazine''s audience has grown exponentially, making musical
anthropologists out of average music listeners and spawning a soul
renaissance, complete with comeback tours and sophomore efforts.
Wax Poetics illuminates the dark corners of our sonic past,
while also striving to give new and innovative artists the credit
they truly deserve.
