Best produced album

Siamese Dream is a sensational album - but then I am a huge Pumpkins fan.

I've always liked the production in Beck albums, especially Sea Change.
Not to everyone's taste, but I also think Nine Inch Nails stuff is well recorded.

I quite like really early Bob Dylan stuff too, for some reason. Probably because its just him, a guitar and harmonica, and so quite easy to record.

That BBC series is very good. I've seen a few. The other week I saw the one about Fleetwood Mac's Rumours. Really interesting.
 
I'm not a big radiohead fan, but In Rainbows sounds astonishing. It is heavily processed, but none the less I've never heard a recording with so much ambiance, texture and depth. There are songs on there that make you think your underwater. I would say they are definitely masters of the studio. I think they worked on it for about 18 months...

The classic, Classic Album programme was AJA - Steely Dan. Fagen & Becker were just so funny. I think it included more of how the tracks were put together than any of the other shows. I now have it on DVD. .......

I've been looking for that. I caught the Steely Dan Aja and Metallica Metallica episodes.
I've been searching for the wrong title.

Here's a wiki on it.

Anyone know if they are available as a series set? Amazon lists them separately.

Radiohead's Ok computer is an interesting, absorbing listen. It gets into your head and makes you feel rather anxious and distressed. At an artistic statement it is good, but far from relaxing.
 
I can feel the strings striking each other on the upright bass on this one. My speakers vanish while listening to it. Very well recorded.

I never gave acoustic jazz a real listen. I found this in the dollar used bin at newbury comics a couple years ago and lost track of it. Glad it unearthed itself - I've found a new genre.

These must be well produced - they sound great.


Abraxas - Santana

Crime of the Century - Supertramp

Permanent Waves - Rush

Boston - Boston

Synchronicity - The Police

Others already mentioned: Brothers in Arms, Dark Side of The Moon, The Wall, etc.
 
I agree with many of the above. Here are just a few I recommend:

Joe Jackson "Body and Soul"
Spirit "Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus"
Josh Rouse "Dressed Up Like Nebraska" ***
Tears For Fears "Sowing the Seeds of Love" ***
Annie Lennox "Diva"
Swing Out Sister "Get in Touch With Yourself"
Dave Matthews Most of his "Live" discs
James Taylor "Copperline"
Nektar "Remember the Future" (most recent version CD and original vinyl)
CSNY "Four Way Street"

*** means exceptional!

David Guilmour : On a Island

I am a really big fan of the Floyd,D. Gilmour and the other guys solo stuff, Rick Wright's first solo album sounds good and Rog's "Amused To Death" sounds absolutely fantastic.
I was disappointed with the sound of Gilmour's "On An Island" though, a very "flat" (sorry, could not think of any other way of describing it) sounding collection of great songs.

Marc Cohn's self titled album, for production, though is superb, every track is just wonderfull.

Cheers.
