“A marvelous book, unlike any other.”—Garry Giddins
“A work of great originality and constantly stimulating argument.”—Geoffrey O’Brien
“Witty, perceptive, informed, and dazzlingly allusive.”—David Hamilton, Nation
“Eisenberg’s scholarly and entertaining book is the joyous celebration of a mystery . . . the magic liberation of music from the strictures of time and space.”—New York Times
“An excellent work. . . . Eisenberg explores so much uncharted territory. . . . Long overdue.”—Michael Kimmelman, Philadelphia Inquirer
“The most amazing thing about this book is that there isn’t another like it. Anybody who cares about records (or aesthetics) will find it provocative.”— Robert Christgau, The Village Voice
"[A] marvelous book. It's a rhapsodic and ambivalent history of recording, at times enthusiastic about the possibilities of the medium and at other times skeptical of their impact on the art. . . . It's a book well worth reading."—Alex Ross, therestisnoise.com
