via Lorne in Canada:"Bernie Krause is a global treasure and people newly discovering the history of analog synths should know about him. I (and so many others) bought all the albums and his more recent books are a wonderful discovery for gear heads who need to get out more Smile emoticon. One book (w cd) is on rare vanishing soundscapes of our planet and why he walked away from the studio life and the other is a basic book on how to get started recording the sounds of other life forms around us. It was written in the age of minidiscs and DATs but still worth reading. And he was there at the start with the first Moog in LA working the studios and sitting in the background of so many famous albums. The site is a great read, images and sounds. Bring the world into your studio if you can't get out."
