When I was at Lanois' place in Oxnord CA a bunch of years back.... it was a Neve 8068 doing most of the tracking ..Dylan..Chris Whitley..etc
I think he had an API in New Orleans after that?

Naturally, both contain a heap o' engineering and mixing and performing talent.
nope... Dark Side of the Moon is famously done on the Abbey Road TG console



I'd say Neve - smashing pumpkins siamese dream is a classic and prototypical example, or I would guess Meat Puppets "Up on the Sun" just guessing by the sound of the thing, for a more awesomely underappreciated reference

API - Radiohead Hail to the Thief, and various other things- they mix and match it seems, and happen to own an API console
