Hello fellow PA members.
I just notice that there are little or no threads about prog engineers, so i would like to know your top ten prog engineers.
I will elaborate mine soon but i will say that Martin Birch, Eddy Offord, Conny Plank, Rolf Ulrich Kaiser, Dieter Dierks for example.

Well, the album I have as my avatar was produced by Martin Birch, so it's inevitable for me to vote for him . Though he worked mostly with Prog-Related bands, he produced some of my favourite albums of all time - and a great job he did too . I wish BOC had stuck with him - he revived their career in 1980, but they went somewhat downhill after he stopped collaborating with them.

| George Martin: besides The Beatles, he has worked with The Mahavishnu Orchestra on their splendid symphonic work, Apocalypse, as well as in Jeff Beck's classics Blow by Blow and Wired. |

Silly question, but would Terry Brown count. Does producer = engineer? -------------

Well being into all that electronic nonsense I think it's only natural for me to mention Tom Jenkinson. As far as prog metal goes my favourite has to be Jim Morris for his production on Symbolic (crisp as anything for the mid-90s, he really does rule supreme) and of course Steven Wilson's production on Blackwater Park is flawless. General prog... I suppose it's safe to mention that Ian Anderson did a cracking job on producing TAAB.

Alan Parsons & David Henschel for me prior to thinking in a bit more depth.

Lol, I saw this and immediately starting thinking about Dijkstra, Turing, and Babbage, but then I realized I was probably missing the point. :)

Alan Parsons by far. I think the few good APP albums are amazing, but I'm by no stretch just an APP fanboy or anything. However it seems clear to me that Alan Parsons is the best sound engineer of all time, I've never even heard anybody come close to how clean bands sound when he mixes them. I mean really, his work from over thirty years ago are much cleaner than that of todays. (I prefer older mixing style, but obviously newer should be cleaner). Listening to Dark Side, I-Robot, or Turn Of a Friendly Card (my least favorite of the three, but the best mixing I've heard) makes this pretty clear in my mind. Not to mention how much more he contributes than necessary, the man should almost be given song writing credit on Dark Side, he contributed about as much audio as some band members.
