Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

As a lifelong rock fan, I found 'Listening to the Future' an absolute revelation. Sando's narration is spot-on, his warm, authoritative voice drawing me in and keeping me engaged for over 13 hours. Martin's prose is dense with insight, but Sando's pacing ensures it never feels overwhelming. I appreciated Martin's willingness to challenge my preconceptions and his ability to connect the dots between seemingly disparate bands and genres. If I have one critique, it's that the focus on the UK scene sometimes overshadows the American and European progressive rock movements. Nevertheless, this is a must-listen for any rock fan eager to expand their horizons.
