Choosing another road. Aston M.

The story of one of the most influential sound recordings from its foundation in 1979 to the beginning of the 21st century.

Among the musicians presented by him are names such as CoCteau Twins, Pixies, Dead Cance, The Birthday Party, Throwing Muses, Bauhaus and others. The unique label profile formed the unique musical taste of its founder Ivo Wattsa-Rassel and the inspired aesthetics of designer Bon Oliver, thanks to which 4AD records turned out to be recognizable in sound and appearance.

The author of the book journalist Martin Aston, based on his interviews with almost all the key figures of the label and its main artists (including the notes of the recluse, including Ivo Russell himself), recreates a multifaceted and largely exciting history of this amazing project.

For musicians and everyone who is interested in the theory and history of modern music.
