FAVOURITE PRODUCER

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

ummm... dredging through the mists of memory, I'm pretty certain that Albini didn't produce ANY of the Big Black albums; I think he probably did their earliest stuff, but "Songs about (beep) was produced by John Loder, and Atomizer was produced by, I think, Iain Burgess?

As for In Utero, it was an ok album by a fairly good band. Nothing against Nirvana; they were at times pretty darn good, and I enjoyed them at Reading in 91.... but the band that headlined the last night were a wee bit better!!!

I don't really know much about what producers do :lol:

I think it's one of those things you only notice when it's missing.

Producers in general are there to make sure the band records a record that the record company can sell to people who don't understand the essence of music.

Othertimes they are there by request of the band because they want to make a record that sounds like someother band the producer has worked with (ie Jim Steinman - Meat Loaf)

Longterm partnerships with producers occur when the producer wants to be in the band and the band cant even write without his/her assistance.

Were are all the feamle producers???

He's never produced anything. He is by his own admission, an engineer.

Arthur Russel.

Weird fella from New York, classicaly trained, highly educated & he seemed to be a pretty intelligent chap... He could spend hours, days, weeks in the studio to work towards perfection (to his ears) and therefor was a bit hard to work with. Sounds familiar?
Oh yes, he played a mean chello, but really got into producing farout disco stuff in the seventies... my kinda guy 8)


Martin Hannett

nuff said.

true, but it took Conny Plank to really make them shine with Company of Justice

Martin Hannet. Unknown Pleasures is a very well, unusually produced album. I heard he was inspired by the production of Strange Days by The Doors and you can hear it. Perhaps someone can remind me of the name of The Doors producer.
Conny Plank, on the strength of Night Time by Joke.
