True, but I hate the ELO sheen he put on other peoples records -- Edmunds, Harrison, Wilburys.

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.

Everything else is secondary (Lee626), Monday, 24 October 2011 20:44 (1 year ago) Permalink

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