"Copendium" the 700-page treatise on music by Julian Cope is rather excellent. It has an odd newspaper-like format with two columns on every page. I have now come across the first artist I am familiar with, Nico and her album "The Marble Index".
The book itself seems to be printed on very thick paper so it is a fairly hefty tome.
What I did not realise was that the title is taken from a Wordsworth poem about Sir Isaac Newton, "The Prelude, or Growth of a Poet's Mind".
Of moon or favouring stars, I could behold
The antechapel where the statue stood
Of Newton with his prism and silent face,
The Marble Index of a mind for ever
Voyaging through strange seas of Thought, alone.
The full poem is here
I recently discovered that my American Amazon Author page has a feed from this blog which you can see here. It only shows on the .com site but not on others. C'est La Vie.
The music is "Lawns of Dawns" by Nico
