Your favourite production by each producer/engineer?

[Ermz]

Ok, so here's the deal: List ONE production by each producer/engineer you wish to mention that you feel is their 'magnum opus'. List any producer/engineer you want, though obviously here metal/rock guys would be preferable. Remember, only ONE per producer/engineer.

I'm hoping that through this game we can all give each other feedback and suggest other releases from each producer's discography. This way our collective reference CDs can become more complete.

Andy Sneap - Doomsday Machine
Fredrik Nordstrom - Clayman
Daniel Bergstrand - Stabbing the Drama
Randy Staub - Dark Horse
CLA - (please suggest one for me)
Andy Larocque - Recreation Day (very open to others)
Zeuss - Minus the Herd (please suggest more)

I really look forward to seeing your lists and hopefully being educated somewhat!

Jens Bogren- Opeth's "Watershed"
Andy Wallace- Jeff Buckley's "Grace"
Jason Suecof- Black Dahlia's "Nocturnal"
Andy Sneap- KSE's "The End of Heartache"
Alan Moulder- NIN's "The Fragile"
Nigel Godrich- Radiohead's "Kid A"
Steven Wilson- "Insurgentes"

 

[Metaltastic]

Hmm, gotta disagree on "Watershed," Broodwich - Ermin, you've mentioned this before, and I agree completely, it sounds really rich but also kinda muffled when A/B'ing with other mixes (probably too much analog crap giving it that delicious warmth but also sucking away the top end). I would nominate Amon Amarth's "Twilight of the Thunder God" as his best (that I've heard, anyway), I like the guitar tone on it more than the runner up, the ever-popular "The Great Cold Distance" (the guitar tone on that fits perfectly, but I dunno, there's something about it I don't quite like)

I enjoy the mix of Twilight but production wise theres not much going on so Watershed wins for me.

Me too. I actually think the guitar tone is a bit weird sounding at times on Twilight...

The high end of the tone is really diffuse but it's kinda cool as that's what a lot of amps sound like live anyway.
