Charles, what music do you love?

[Renie]

Charles,

What songs, productions inspired you to aspire to become a music producer?

Also wondered what current music and productions are exciting your curiosity and imagination?

Thanks

[Martian]

I don't know about Charles, but right now (and for the the last couple of months!) it's been 'The Mars Volta, Deloused in the Comatorium'. Rick Rubin is god! Best album I have heard in years.

Also not Charles here, but I like to share this one with everyone I can:

Blonde Redhead - Misery is a Butterfly

Pure genius.

[Renie]

Thanks for joining in!

I hear The Mars Volta mentioned often with respect, they must have done something special. I'm curious to give it a good listen.

The Blonde Redhead one, what genre is that?

cheers

Also the new 'Blink182' very well produced, Jerry Finn I believe. Not a huge fan of their other albums but they seem to hav strayed from their normal straight ahead pop punk on this one.

Charles care to comment?

Who produced Evanescence?
I´ve just discovered it, seems pretty cool.

Here is some great stuff on the recording process of Evenescence. Including all the details.

Thanks, Shan. I saw the ad at Mix Magazine cover also.

It defies genre typing, I guess. It's "indie rock" for lack of a better terminology, with orchestrations, and lush production. Portishead and Sigur Ros come to mind, though this is a whole different trip.
