Recorded Music Quotes

They're events you remember all your life, like your first real orgasm. And the whole purpose of the absurd, mechanically persistent involvement with recorded music is the pursuit of that priceless moment. So it's not exactly that records might unhinge the mind, but rather that if anything is going to drive you up the wall it might as well be a record. Lester Bangs
No one likes to work for free. To copy an artist's work and download it free is stealing. It's hard work writing and recording music, and it's morally wrong to steal it. Gary Wright
I started in a research lab for TV cameras, then I worked at a tape duplication facility. That was the first introduction for me to recorded music and hi-fi. Alan Parsons
I think that technology has both introduced new sounds but also allowed an increasingly painterly approach to recording music as you can now paint over what you've done and more and more refine an existing performance. Jerry Harrison
Films and gramophone records, music, books and buildings show clearly how vigorously a man's life and work go on after his "death," whether we feel it or not, whether we are aware of the individual names or not. There is no such thing as death according to our view! Martin Bormann
Charlotte Rae quote: "We used to listen to all the marvelous operas on records...."
We used to listen to all the marvelous operas on records. Music was a very important part of our lives. Charlotte Rae
Music expresses feeling, that is to say, gives shape and habitation to feeling, not in space but in time. To the extent that music has a history that is more than a history of its formal evolution, our feelings must have a history too. Perhaps certain qualities of feeling that found expression in music can be recorded by being notated on paper, have become so remote that we can no longer inhabit them as feelings, can get a grasp of them only after long training in the history and philosophy... J. M. Coetzee
Music's been around a long time, and there's going to be music long after Ray Charles is dead. I just want to make my mark, leave something musically good behind. If it's a big record, that's the frosting on the cake, but music's the main meal. Ray Charles
Martin Gore quote: "Record covers helped me discover a lot of music that I wasn't..."
Record covers helped me discover a lot of music that I wasn't aware of. Martin Gore
Music is my main goal, but I'm not going to rush a record out. There are so many actors who have come out with albums these days. I don't want to do it because it's the thing to do. I want to wait until the time is right. River Phoenix
Bill Laswell quote: "Records are just moments of achievement. They're like receipts..."
Records are just moments of achievement. They're like receipts for work done. Time goes on and people keep playing music. Bill Laswell
Emmy Rossum quote: "Music is also a part of who I am so I'm thinking about..."
Music is also a part of who I am so I'm thinking about recording an album. Emmy Rossum
Nile Rodgers quote: "Music is the one part of the entertainment business where you..."
Music is the one part of the entertainment business where you can't fool anybody into buying a record. Nile Rodgers
When radio stations started playing music the record companies started suing radio stations. They thought now that people could listen to music for free, who would want to buy a record in a record shop? But I think we all agree that radio stations are good stuff. Niklas Zennstrom
I was not doing what I was told to do. And they sued me for making music "uncharacteristic of Neil Young." That was Geffen Rocords' biggeest mistake, I think. The mistakes all started when I caved and didn't give them Island in the Sun. They wanted me to be commercially successful, and I wanted to be an artist expressing myself-those two goals are not always compatible. I was expecting to have the same artistic freedom that I had at Asylum Records, but Geffen Records wanted me to be a smash,... Neil Young
