Over time, technology has allowed us to make use of our city in ways that we would never have thought imaginable. Changing the way that humans navigate as we know it, the slightly intrusive yet remarkable invention that was Google Streetview has amused me countless amounts of times searching for myself on Camden High Street. However somewhere near to Camden has now had it’s doors opened, virtually.
The prestigious studios that sit in London’s heart of recording that housed The Beatles recordings and Pink Floyd’s masterpieces Dark Side Of the Moon among others, along with some more modern day bands Nightwish’s Dark Passion Play, David Gilmour’s On An Island, the fantastic Radiohead’s The Bends, not to mention the throes of film scores recorded in the studio. From Harry Potter to Star Wars, it truly is a haunting place that has seen some of the most talented musicians of our lifetime. Now through Google we can walk through it’s doors, I have to say myself I find it incredibly interesting that the interactive way in which Google portray this. Make for a fantastically dynamic experience that will get you to discover things about the hallowed studio you would have never seen before. A must for any music fan.
