I am recommending this to my 18 year old son to listen, because Steve’s voice and manner of talking is comfortable and clear. Both me and my son are not native speakers of English, even though my son was born in New York (after less than 2 years of which we had to go back to our native language speaking nation). However, we share the love of music, both listening and playing. After deep sorrow and processing of the recent sad news of Steve’s passing away, I am touching on anything related to him. This lecture is one of the most valuable.
As I understand it he says that tapes are a better way to keep an archive than digital as you can store them and reproduce those tapes on any machine you have.
Funny that he mentions Depeche Mode towards the end. One of the times I saw Big Black at the Clarendon in London, Depeche Mode were in the audience. One of them even looked at me and said hello for some reason. I guess this was when they were trying to get him to do that work. There were connections via the record labels somehow.

So articulate. Love listening to him.
Amazing discussion. I really didn't understand the difference of master tapes from analog vs. digital and not having an equivalent.

His phylosophy is like mine. Not a lot of people understand it.
