'This potty, audacious gem is defiantly atypical, more a dystopian novel, odyssey or psychogeography treatise than an off-the-peg music biography.' Mark Hodkinson's review of 'Studio Electrophonique' by @coldtapfilms.bsky.social in the latest issue of Rock'n'Reel (RNR) magazine. #booksky

Nice one Andy. It means a lot.

Andy Tattersall@andytattersall.bsky.social · last yr.

I've written a review of @coldtapfilms.bsky.social superb Studio Electophonique book for @nowthenmag.bsky.social about Sheffield's legendary studio run by Ken Patten and the embryonic emergence of Sheffield's electronic music scene. It is a wonderful read.

Cheers to @leahkardos.bsky.social for the kind review in @thewiremagazine.bsky.social . I set out to write a ‘layered meditation on memory, obscurity and sonic heritage’ and now I have. Boom!

Cheers Roger. Great to meet you. Hope you enjoyed The Brown Bear.

Roger Quail@rogerquail.bsky.social · last yr.

I had a really good evening at the Sheffield launch of Jamie Taylor's splendid book about unsung local hero Ken Patten, & the part he played in the early days of S. Yorkshire's electronic music scene. Also delighted my podcast got a mention in the acknowledgements, happy to have been a part of it.
