please name some (I am not suggesting everything he shits out is perfect like Zappa, but I'm just curious what ones in particular)
The thing with Steve Albini is this, he is a talented recordist, and has worked on quite a few albums with quite a few bands for decades. We all know that not every single album or project he has worked on has been perfect, but what makes him and his particular talent at capturing "live sound" of raw, fierce, feedback/dynamics/soundscape oriented guitar work and music on some quite honestly legendary albums with stand out artists. From my own experience, one of the hardest things to capture onto tape is the sound of feedback and harmonics that come from speakers. Not every mic set up and recording mix-down can get what the ear hears live in the studio or from the stage, and steve captures that pureness better than anyone hands down. Point out a
better recording engineer/producer who does this?
My highlight, Shannon Wright
