Producers

Johnny C:
Come to think of it, an album in which the production is actually one of the key features is probably Turn On The Bright Lights. I don't know many other albums where the sound board may as well be another instrument.

Thrillho:
It's true. It's quite a Martin Hannett-y production isn't it?

Echoey, sparse.

greenMonkey:
Production is an important part of music.  It CAN make or destory an album/song.  Take, for instance, Hafssol, a song from Sigur Ros' debut album (Von).  The song is one of their most popular and well known live songs (mostly because the bass is played with a drum stick), but the album cut sounds entirely different than any live cut you will find.  The studio cut is basically 12 minutes of ambient static and distortion, while the live version is a much more interesting song involving interplay of the bass and vocals.

Rubby:
Oh oh, I know...Electronic Music! There is a perfect argument on the side of "production is important". Electronic music, sort of...is production.

The truth. I think that's a nice nod to Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures, also famous, I believe, for the producer almost becoming a member of the band.
