Sound City tells the tale of a very infamous recording studio in Van Nuys California. It's dirty and outdated but many of the most famous rock albums were recorded there. The real star of both the movie and the studio is the console. A very rare custom model made by Neve. Pure analog tape and live performances were captured thru the Neve. According to Grohl in the movie, by purchasing the console, he can now recreate the legendary Neve sound. So is it true? Yes and no. There are a couple of good songs here but I hear nothing magical. In short, watch the movie, it's excellent. If you like the music during the movie then give the soundtrack a try.
Oh and if you buy it on 180g Vinyl, you also get the MP3 version in 320k.
