Re: Jane's Addiction: in the Studio [Paperback]
I skimmed through the book. It reads like some kind of university music or audio engineering course thesis paper/essay. I don't think there's anything new in it because it looks like he drew almost entirely from magazine articles and other publicly available secondary sources.
Re: Jane's Addiction: in the Studio [Paperback]
That's not completely true. The author interviewd Ron Champaign (engineer) and Dave Jerden and a couple of other studioguys which makes for some interesting new info. It's a bit of a hit and miss book. On the albums where he interviewd people for it's a good read (NS, RDLH, Deconstruction) Other albums get a lesser treatment like Satellite Party. Also strange that PfP albums are in there but no solorecords and no TPC while SP is. Not really complete but still interesting I thought. It reads like a first draft. Lay-outwise it's very basic. Tha't's a shame, but hey, it's not that expensive so what the heck.
