It is sad, of course, that the studio was destroyed by a devastating hurricane. For many

For musicians, the isolated environment proved to be a relief to escape from it

the hustle and bustle of being famous. Countless famous names from the seventies and eighties

come along with a celebration of recognition and it turns out that several people agree

of an album to be inspiring and positive. With many fascinating stories. Jagger

and Richards came to a reconciliation because they once again quarreled with each other

were hit. And fortunately with the most attention for the founder of the studio George

Martin when his importance to the Beatles is also discussed. A bit redundant

and also lost among all that was offered I found Lou Reed with the short message that

he didn't like such a trip for studio recording. I Need to hear the traffic. But

a fascinating, entertaining and special documentary that gave me a lot of pleasure. Was too

completely unaware of this studio. Was a brilliant idea of course from Martin,

whose initiative certainly testifies to the man's enthusiasm.

George Martin produced The Beatles' last albums and was responsible for an impressive number of top albums after the band's breakup. At the end of the 1970s he decided to exchange London for the paradisiacal Caribbean island of Montserrat, where he worked with Elton John, The Police, Dire Straits and The Rolling Stones, among others. Until a hurricane and a volcanic eruption put an end to this productive period. Particularly recommended for fans of 80s music, also because the history of the studio is a cross-section of the musical and technical development of what has been described as “the most creative period in music history.” The downside is that all interviewees have broadly the same things to say, with the exception of Duran Duran keyboardist Nick Rhodes, but this is full of interesting anecdotes about the genesis of classic albums such as 'Synchronicity' (The Police), 'Brothers In Arms' ( Dire Straits) and 'Steel Wheels' by The Rolling Stones.
