Words from Jamie Taylor around book Studio Electrophonique: The Sheffield Space Age, from the Human League to Pulp.

Lauren welcomes you to a brand new week with uplifting tunes in the daily 6 of the Best playlist, we take a moment to reflect something beautiful happening with our 6 Music listeners in the Beauty Spot, and look forward to the day ahead in A View From The Afternoon.

Author Jamie Taylor shares words around book Studio Electrophonique: The Sheffield Space Age, from the Human League to Pulp. The book tells the story of the home studio that helped launch some of Britain鈥檚 most beloved bands. In the decades that followed, the makeshift home studio he constructed became the launch pad for a group of young musicians who would shape the futuristic sound of 1980s pop. The Human League, Heaven 17, Pulp, ABC and others made their early recordings with Ken, whose DIY ethic was the perfect fit for a city facing industrial decline but teeming with ideas.
