Do any of you ever buy a recording because of the engineers/producers/mastering engineers that worked on it?
For the past couple of weeks, I've been listening to a recording that Mark Nevers engineered (Bonnie Prince Billy's "Lie Down In The Light") in headphones, and it's spoiled me. I haven't been able to enjoy other recordings since. It's so easy to disappear into, and everything else sounds harsh and careless by comparison. The CD was mastered by Scott Colburn.
I've started to seek out and listen to other recordings Mark Nevers has been involved in, so I can compare the sounds and see what I can learn.
I've also read an interview or two with him that I found really interesting (though he's not great at giving clear quotes.) http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/nov04/articles/nevers.htm
I would love to listen to more incredibly produced music and read more insight. Who should I be searching for?
