Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted August 8, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 8, 2018 The second I saw the title of this thread, I immediately thought of the song 'Gaslighting Abbie' by Steely Dan. Usually anything from the Aja album onwards (including Fagens solo albums) are stunningly well produced, but there's something near perfect about this song. I can't explain it, but everything on this track stands out. Everything has a purpose and there is not one note, beat or phonetic missed or wasted. It's just absolutely gorgeous to listen to. I can't do it justice, just have a listen and let your chin turn itself inside out: Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted August 8, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 8, 2018 Well, if you're putting up Steely Dan, this is my favourite (yes, it's one of the most obvious ones, but it's still awesome): Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted August 8, 2018 Moderators Share Posted August 8, 2018 But why is it particularly well produced, bomber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lack the ability to describe it technically, but it just sounds well-produced to me. The arrangement sounds balanced, no single instrumental track taking over at the expense of the others, the vocals sound clean, and the whole overall feel of it is that it's well-crafted and smooth.

Paid Members Supremo Posted August 8, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 8, 2018 This Rik Mayall tribute from the BBC has always stayed with me. I thought it was a really lovely piece. The music is great and that spoken word bit of the Young Ones lyrics is fantastic.    Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsfromlee Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 When it comes to music, Untrue by Burial is phenomenally produced by electronic music standards. I've never heard a piece of music that sends you straight into a time and place while listening to it like this one does. Regardless of where you're from or where you are, you're suddenly transported to a night bus in south London at 1am on a rainy winter night when you listen to it. All completely sampled, from early 90's acid house and DnB tracks to 16-bit video game sound tracks to Beyonce & Christina Aguilera to David Lynch movies. It sounds like nothing else that's ever been made before or since. I think it's ones of the greatest sounding records ever made. So much so that I got the cover tattoo'd on my arm. Â Also, 2001: A Space Odyssey. Fair play, Kubrick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted September 4, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted September 4, 2018 This is immense. 80s sports themes were always amazing (before the licensing of shite music), but this especially fit the feel of what was to come. The shot of Las Vegas, the highlights of the boxers bets bits and that wonderful theme. It'll put goosebumps on your arm. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Accident Prone Posted September 4, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted September 4, 2018 That's brilliant! I'm in the right mood for a fight now. I think the 'Eye On Springfield' skit from the Simpsons totally nails it.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briefcase Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I know Formula One is a take it or leave it thing these days but thought this was brilliantly produced (5-6 years ago when Sky won the rights)Â in that its just back ground music with no voice overs with the sounds of the cars/mechanics and everything else going on during the race. It's almost aimed at the smart fans as well focusing on the garage/pits as well as the cars. Â Â Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
