"In a time like ours, when the genius of the engineers has reached such undreamed of proportion, one can hear music as easily as one can buy a glass of beer. It only costs 10 cents too! Should we not fear this domestication of sound, this magic preserved in a disc that anyone can awaken at will? Will it not mean a diminution of the secret forces of art, which until now have been considered indestructible?" - Claude Debussy (1913)
