Review of Sound City (2013) by Matt C — 20 Aug 2013

Really well made rockumentary by Director/Musician Dave Grohl. He not only tells the story of Sound City, it's people and equipment, but he gathers so many great musicians and tells a bit of their stories too.

Plus a history of studio recording from the 70's until now, with the transition from analog to digital and back around to analog again. The film really came to life for me in the middle when Nirvana breathed life back into Sound City.

And the final act where Grohl creates his own new studio centered around the Neve console from Sound City, with collaborations among so many great artists like Reznor, Nicks, McCartney, Petty and others, just inspires the hell out of me.

Fantastic cinematography, incredible sound and film editing, and just an all around stellar package.
