      100% but he would endorse having his ashes fired from a cannon into the Spiderland lake in Utica, IN. He didn’t work on that album, but still.

    Albini truly had a major impact on the Seattle grunge scene in more ways than one. He was a true punk and never let that go. Big Black was one of the most crucial bands for the 80’s. Rest easy Albini.

    If you want to learn from the guy you still can. He wrote so much in articles, and even put out a LOT of youtube videos. He describes in fine but easy detail why and what. I highly recommend.

    R.I.P. Steve. 61 may have been far too young but one has to take into consideration he lived three lifetimes, one as the founder of three influential post-hardcore bands, another as an extremely talented and innovative audio engineer with a couple of thousand albums to his name, and one as an all around great guy with an infectious sense if humor.

    Lucky White of the Dude Ranch Playboys applied this same production method and work ethics from 1946 thru 1968. Some of the greatest country western recordings were captured by Lucky many decades ago. He toured and recorded with Les Paul.

    This bummed me out..First time I heard Kerosene from Big Black back in the early 90’s blow my mind..It was my theme song for teens I lived in a small town in northern New York..This was way before he was mister producer man for Nirvana,PJ Harvey and many amazing Indy punk band like Slint, Brainec and Jesus Lizard..Steve was true D.Y.I punk that mastered his skills and the most funniest man in the Indy world..A real legend of music and life..RIP..We keep your philosophy in recording and soul of D.Y.I indie rock alive

  • @latentsea
    @latentsea 22 дня назад

    RIP! Impossible task to record something real. The very definition of recording is to look to the future which changes awareness to performance. Stevecdid the best he could, but it’s a fools game. Before and In between his recordings was his real life and most likely well lived.

    Everything you see is a picture of what you want it to be. It never is the way you think it is. Steve Albini had little to do with the real recordings of most of my songwriting I did in secrecy. These are words, I don’t get credit I don’t get payment. Be kind to the touring groups if they get caught as you were never kind to me when I say that I wrote and recorded the music. Take care. You won’t be in my shoes ever, and I know what I was.

Dude was probably the textbook sedentary workaholic studio dude. Lots of sitting. No shade on him, but...that could be. He got quite chubbed out the last decade.

    If not for Albini's PRODUCTION, In Utero would be nothing more than a footnote as Nirvana's final album. It is grossly overrated.
