Aprašymas

This book is about the best 'Headphone Music' ever recorded, at least in the opinion of California writer, Stark Hunter-a baby boomer and old hippie, born in 1952. With a lifetime of listening to all genres of music under his belt, it is his opinion this book contains the best music to hear while wearing headphones, or in today's vernacular, ear buds. Consisting of 27 recommended "headphone" playlists, Hunter spent 13 years reading and researching articles on classical and contemporary music history, plus spending hundreds, perhaps thousands, of hours exploring and listening to recommended albums, cassettes and 8-track tapes, a majority of which were popular in the booming postwar era of the 50's, 60's and 70's.

It is hoped the readers of this book will approach these music playlists with calm and curious equanimity. It is also recommended that the reader actually makes the effort to look up these carefully chosen musical masterpieces, and spend quality time listening to them, preferably wearing headphones or ear buds. That is the point of this book.

If truth be known, it is a far different (and more satisfying) listening experience when no one else can hear what you, the listener, is hearing-that is, wonderful musical sounds in the privacy of your own ears and mind. There is an indescribable intimacy involved when it is just you, the listener, interacting with the music. Thank goodness for headphones-they provide a Cone of Silence, wherein listeners can escape to their own private worlds of music and sound.
