Riassunto

R.E.M.'s debut album, released in 1983, was so far removed from the prevailing trends of American popular music that it still sounds miraculous and out of time today. J. Niimi tells the story of the album's genesis - with fascinating input from Don Dixon and Mitch Easter. He also investigates Michael Stipe's hypnotic, mysterious lyrics, and makes the case for Murmur as a work of Southern Gothic art.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

...Murmur is a lovingly rendered, well-researched look at R.E.M's album of the same name, a gothic-tinged anomaly that seemed to come out of nowhere amid the New Wave avalanche of the early  80s...illuminating. --Cincinnati City Beat, May 2005
