An other Great one, his cassette is a very fond memory of my first steps in music listening.

RIP Lou
I like this quote:
" “Nothing can match the sound of the CD,” he had told the Dutch newspaper NRC Handelsblad. “It is absolutely noise and rumble-free. That never worked with tape … I have made a lot of record players and I know that the distortion with vinyl is much higher. I think people mainly hear what they want to hear.”

There is an excellent documentary about the development and rise of the cassette format that features Lou. "Cassette: A Documentary Mixtape" is HIGHLY recommended! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMZIhvxnAg4 The full documentary has been on Hulu/Amazon Prime/Netflix. R.I.P. Lou. Thanks for the tapes... |
