TrevorR Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Been watching this series on iPlayer... Music Moguls: Masters of Pop, 2. Melody Makers: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p039x53y via @bbciplayer Don't think that there's anything I've not seen before but it's a really diverting watch. First episode is Simon Napier Bell talking about the iconic music managers of the 60 and 70s etc. And then number two is about producers, with Nike Rodgers hosting. Great section where Visconti takes you though the multitrack of Heroes... Definitely worth checking out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delberthot Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I thought the first one was fantastic the way all the different managers operated, especially Peter Grant. I watched the second one last night which was also pretty good but it confirmed to me that I really don't like any of Mark Ronson's work. Also, this is the first time I have heard him speak - has he had a stroke in the past? I thought the Heroes bit was really good. I thought the bass sound was fantastic and not what I expected then it was covered in all sorts of weird noises that sounded mostly terrible on their own but put them all together and it sounds amazing.

ras52 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 It's a shame they don't broadcast the extended versions of things like this, instead of repeating the short version later the same night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4stringslow Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 There are some great music progs on iplayer. I have a 'smart TV' but no aerial/dish so can only access online programmes but I'm never short of something interesting to watch. No need for a TV licence either [quote name='Delberthot' timestamp='1453881644' post='2963649'] I thought the Heroes bit was really good.
