and I don't really listen to much glam rock and appreciate that Chinnichap became a byword for canned and formulaic but that is a pretty amazingly SHINY sound right there
Mike Leander!!!!!!!

My off-the-dome 'anti' top 3:
3. Jeff Lynne2. Joe Thomas1. Walter Afanasieff, who repeatedly employs every cliched production frill imagineable in failed attempts to build emotion as a song progresses (thundering snare hits! weepy bowed orchestral strings! raising the key and slowing down just before the last verse!) for the likes of Celion Dion, Michael Bolton, and Mariah Carey.
3. Jeff Lynne
waaaaaht dude those ELO records sound amazing
― unorthodox economic revenge (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 24 October 2011 15:26 (1 year ago) Permalink
True, but I hate the ELO sheen he put on other peoples records -- Edmunds, Harrison, Wilburys.

yeah not gonna argue about that
― unorthodox economic revenge (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 24 October 2011 17:10 (1 year ago) Permalink
I like how lush Lynne's production can be, but can we lose that synthetic sheen that drapes everything, all the buzzy synths, etc.? It's like the finished product was processed through a volume compressor before being pressed to disc. Agreed that aesthetic worked for ELO (although even there it was needlessly gimmicky - did "I Can't Get It Out Of My Head" really need the vocals processed through a wah-wah pedal?), but it's all wrong for his '80s-and-beyond production for others.

Yeah, Lynne's the only guy whose "overproduction" I've ever complained about
