Bruce Springsteen
Nebraska
Columbia Records
Recorded on a 4 track cassette machine in Springsteen's kitchen, Nebraska contains some of the most haunting music in his entire catalog. The album, frightening, simple and pure, represents some of his most immediate material. A stark contrast to his work with the E Street Band.

A "4 track cassette machine", hmm, that sounds a bit antiquated. I'm assuming that is what they used to record the album?
You heard it - recorded on a 4-track cassette machine that could likely be found today for $50 in just about any pawn shop. An electric, full band version of the album was completed in the studio (no doubt at considerable cost to Columbia) but was shelved in favor of the demo recordings. Yet more proof that art is created from pure will. As a side note, I greatly prefer my scratched vinyl copy of the album to the clean MP3 version I recently downloaded from the iTunes Music Store.
