"You're gonna love this! I got this bit of gear last week called the ClearChannel 9000 Compressor, it makes everything sound brilliant and radio-playable as well! I took the liberty of running your whole track through it while you were getting a pizza. Wait'll you hear this...(twenty minutes of frittering)...hmmm, should work now...(silence, tape hiss)...awwww, shit! I'm really, really sorry...I seem to have erased it by mistake...this has never happened before, really! I didn't back it up because, honestly if you were to hear this thing, it's so good I just went for it...no, it's all gone. Listen though if you want to re-record the whole thing [like you have a choice! Ha ha] I've got some studio time after Xmas. I'll give it to you half-price since it was my error..."

Quoth whoever, "Bass players shouldn't make records for the same reason stewardesses shouldn't fly planes", substitute "producers" for "bass players" and "suicidal kamikaze terrorist zealots" for producers

Theory - R'n'r starts as ppl just want to slam out records without a cast of thousands sticking their fucking oar in. Subsequently r'n'r itself turns into a big circus with loads of 'auxiliary personnel' so PUNK starts for same reason. Then punk mutates in pop muzik with its own set of non-musical aux. pers. (really unspeakable insectoid types like journalists and designers this time!) so dance music takes off! But then as soon as that movement gathers steam the artistes are plagued by having to be in a scene and voila there's seven million fuckers interfering again! So IDM gets created as the latest in the long line of strategies ppl take so they can just RECORD STUFF WITHOUT HAVING OTHER PPL GETTING THEIR GRUBBY LITTLE HANDS ON IT!!!

To be fair, producers like the one above wouldn't stay in business very long.

(should be 's.k.t.z's' for 'stewardesses' I meant obv.)

Classic:

Martin Hannett is directly responsible for the production and engineering of the Joy Division albums. IOW, Joy Division records _SOUND_ like Joy Division records because of MH. QED
