Listen will change your relationship with the heard world..
From the award-winning author of The Crimson Petal and the White and Under the Skin , this idiosyncratic and philosophical book reflects Michel Faber\'s lifelong obsession with Music of all kinds.
Michel Faber explores two big questions: how do we listen to Music and why do we listen to music? To answer these questions, he considers a range of factors, which includes age, illness, the notion of cool, commerce, the dichotomy between good and bad taste and much more.

There are countless books on Music with much analysis given to musicians, bands, eras and/or genres.
