 Awesome for Beat heads, diggers, and "studio"philes November 16, 2008
Vern M. Whitt II
This book is great!.
Raph, amassed a nice volume that really captures the essence of the "home/bedroom" studio. He writes a blurb about how he encountered each DJ/Producer. Each snippet even contains a few spelling errors (normally that gets to me, but for this genre I just think it works). He puts a short discograpy of the producer, but the rest is pics. This is the best part of the book. His photography truly conveys the essence of that world we enter into when we want to create. The world we've made for our music that's full of snapshots, pieces, dusty loops, and complexly configured equipment. The lab. THis book is a great gift for any hiphop head, producer, studio music lover. I had it on my Christmas/b-day list for years and no one copped it for me. So I just decided to get it myself.
My only criticism is the list of producers he didn't put in this book. Oh well maybe a Vol. 2 is in order.
Psychoanalyzing Your Favorite Producers Through PIctures September 29, 2008
haroon (Pittsburgh, PA)
I've never spent so much time analyzing a photo book. Each picture occupies me with about five minutes of psychoanalysis, trying to figure out the motives behind each piece of gear or memorabilia in the pictures. Each studio also confirms my hypothesis: the cleaner the home studio environment/setup, the less that actually gets done.
 Great inspiration for up and coming producers everywhere! September 28, 2008
David Grants (Las Vegas, NV.)
I recently purchased this book about a month ago, and I was very pleased with the quality of the photographs this book had. I was also surprised that some of the producers featured in the book had a lot smaller set ups than I imagined. So, it's actually good for the up and comers, that are on a budget to see that, just because you don't have million dollar equipment, doesn't mean you can't make million dollar records.

Great for the coffee table February 27, 2008

I bought this for my boyfriend as a gift a couple years ago (he is a hip hop head) and it is seriously his favorite book. He loves going through the different studios and it seriously inspires him. A lot of the producers in there are not mainstream and he loves that.
