apologies if this is a repost, but this is brilliant. Includes some breakdowns/deconstructions of his mixes- really interesting from a production/recording point of view.

Made myself a pot of strong coffee and going to sit down and have a listen to this.

Stay tuned for a Nile Rogers/chic documentary on bbc4 next year my work mates have made. Its all finished, just waiting for the transmission date. Absolutely beautifully shot.. Nile was interviewed also- I've been told they could have had a 3 hour doc with just him talking.

I bought his autobiography last year and I have to say it's an amazing story. I would say his life became less interesting when he found fame.

Very good enjoyed it, we'll worth a listen even if its not your style of music.
Amazing musician/producer. Funny how Diana Ross took the master tapes and
Mixed them herself slightly higher speed to make her sound younger
It really worked just speeding up 3 inch per second. Super interesting

I read it on holiday and I was honestly astounded by how tough his upbringing was. Fantastic read.
