520    "A legendary record producer-turned-brain scientist 
       explains why you fall in love with music. This Is What It 
       Sounds Like is a journey into the science and soul of 
       music that reveals the secrets of why your favorite songs 
       move you. But it's also a story of a musical trailblazer 
       who began as a humble audio tech in Los Angeles to became 
       Prince's chief engineer for Purple Rain, and then create 
       other No. 1 hits (including Barenaked Ladies' "One Week") 
       as one of the most successful female record producers of 
       all time. Now an award-winning professor of cognitive 
       neuroscience, Susan Rogers leads readers to musical self-
       awareness. She explains that we each possess a unique 
       "listener profile" based on our brain's natural response 
       to seven key dimensions of any song. Are you someone who 
       prefers lyrics or melody? Do you like music "above the 
       neck" (intellectually stimulating), or "below the neck" 
       (instinctual and rhythmic)? Whether your taste is esoteric
       or mainstream, Rogers guides readers to recognize their 
       musical personality, and offers language to describe one's
       own unique taste. Like most of us, Rogers is not a 
       musician, but she shows that all of us can be musical-
       simply by being an active, passionate listener. While 
       exploring the science of music and the brain, Rogers also 
       takes us behind the scenes of record-making, using her 
       insider's ear to illuminate the music of Prince, Frank 
       Sinatra, Kanye West, Lana Del Rey, and many others. She 
       shares records that changed her life, contrasts them with 
       those that appeal to her coauthor and students, and 
       encourages you to think about the records that define your
       own identity. Told in a lively and inclusive style, This 
       Is What It Sounds Like will refresh your playlists, deepen
       your connection to your favorite artists, and change the 
       way you listen to music."--|cProvided by publisher.
