  1. As creative and ground-breaking a recording as Sgt. Pepper in 1968! Essentially an audio version of the visually arresting book in origin but greatly expanded in scope with studio effects/sampling/splicing to illustrate the concepts involved. Educational and entertaining and unavailable on CD as far as I’ve seen. If it were still 1968, I’d call it a “psychedelic mind-blower” (wow, man, dig it with headphones)!

  2. BTW, the link is dead to these files. I’d love to download a copy for my iPod for old times sake without finding/transferring my LP .

  4. Interesting…I’m still trying to get through McLuhan’s book “Understanding Media” (5 years on…) - like Buckminster Fuller, McLuhan wrote idiosyncratically, with an emphasis on wacky, obscure metaphors (usually have to do with Greek mythology)…this is why his books (and peculiar thoughts about modern media) have not held-up too well…he’ll probably be best remembered for that walk-on in “Annie Hall”

    thanks for the album
