I spend late nights debating (with myself) who my favourite producer of all time is. There's Dre, Timbaland, Rick Rubin, even Liam Howlett. But certainly up there is Dangermouse (aka Brian Burton) who was responsible for two of the best albums of last year- from The Shortwave Set and Gnarls Barkley.Plus he's unafraid to take risks. He mashed up The Beatles and Jigga on the Grey album created a conceptual masterpiece with Damon Albarn (Demon Days) and took Cee-Lo's mental health issues to number one (Crazy).
He's continued the risk taking with a new album-concept-project with Sparklehorse called Dark Night Of The Soul which will be released as a book and CD with images by David Lynch. Yes, David Lynch. The album also features The Flaming Lips, Julian Casablancas, Iggy Pop, Gruff Rhys and Suzanne Vega. WOW.
