You know when the production is just on point? When all the arrangement just sounds perfect, the instruments just gel, nothing is overbearing, everything's crisp and clear, but at the same time nothing feels sterile?[/div]
Of course production values are subjective, and sometimes entirely amateurish ones suit really well too. But I'm interested to hear your suggestions for tracks/albums where the producer had perfected their craft, and was as much a star of the show as the performers themselves.
{Paul Brady's 80s stuff}Basically everything Paul Brady did in the 80s had perfect production. On his album "True for You" he worked with Neil Dorfsman, who is something of a master of adult contemporary mixes, producing Dire Straits "Brothers in Arms" and "Money for Nothing". He did a similarly excellent job here
{Christy Moore - Unfinished Revolution}Produced by Donal Lunny and Christy Moore, this album was a pretty radical departure from the traditional folk Christy had been doing for the first twenty years of his career. There are parts of this record that could have come straight out of "Regatta de Blanc", and the production just shines and shimmers the whole time.
