AC/DC back in black,Lennon solo stuff,early Cars stuff ..Neve I beleive..
Bowie ..Rise and fall,Queen.. Bohemian ..A range?
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?
..Dunno..
I bet Flecther probably knows a lot of this stuff...

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

I love the thread, Police=Neve has to be.

[jonathan jetter]

i could be really wrong....but i would put a few bucks on Soundgarden's "Badmotorfinger" being an API record.
