Why George Martin pisses me off!
Legendary record producer George Martin of The Beatles fame has gone on record saying he feels modern technology such as the MP3 player is ruining the music industry. In a brief quote from an interview:
Legendary BEATLES producer GEORGE MARTIN disapproves of modern technology because now anyone can make a record in the comfort of their own home.
Martin sealed his place in history by piecing together a string of classic albums including REVOLVER and SGT PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND - but he fears the advent of mp3 players will dumb down the music industry.
He says, "With iPods, mini-recorders and all the new technology, people can lie in their bath and make a rock record."
Martin has appearantly forgotten all of the new, cutting edge technology he used in creating some of the most remarkable albums from the greatest group in rock 'n' roll history. They pioneered multi-track recording and studio techniques which musicians today take for granted.
And for the record, I've found plenty of people on line who have used all the latest in modern recording technology to make some amazing music. Just head over to MacJams and check out some really great music made with modern technology.
