I'm only wondering what a 'producer' is.

my apologies, sir

I take the records word word for it.

my favorite miles davis album
liner notes say produced by Teo Mercero

my favorite wu tang album
liner notes say produced by RZA

I believe "producer" to mean the entity that has creative control over the sound of the record

Was (Not Was) (David Weiss and Don Fagenson)-- when I first heard them, their 'collage approach' to production blew me away. They were never super big in the US, too esoteric, but apparently much more popular in the UK.

Really ahead of their time.

Also massively popular in pre-techno Detroit too. As was a lot of stuff that was popular in Europe.

Having read the above, James Stinson needs a mention. That Other People Place LP is sublime, for example.

me I like Chris Cowie (he is a Live user btw ad was posting on this forum a few years ago)
massive scottish guy who produced (i think) tracks from Dave Webster (Transa and Cascade), Liquid Art, X-Cabs, Joshua Ryan, Christopher Lawrence etc. Massive dude.

Oh and I cheesily like Ferry Corsten
and Flutlicht in the glory late 1990s days of trance
