Amy Winehouse Back to Black. Salaam Remi worked on a few tracks and I think the sounds are Amazing!

All time
The Pharcyde Bizzare Ride II. It's completely full of the best sounds ever.

And I know favoritely is not really an adverb, but it felt right.

  • recently the mars volta released the bedlam in goliath which is a frickin' masterpiece.

    O.O
    • Clutch - Blast Tyrant and Clutch - Pure Rock Fury, for two completely different reasons (digital coolness and analog madness)
      Massive Attack - Mezzanine, some of the best bass, pushed that low-end to a brink but didn't ruin the record
      Portishead - Dummy, hi-fi low-fi
      Boards of Canada - Geogaddi, if my high school math teacher ever took acid this is what his square ass would hear
      Tool - 10,000 Days, as much Danny's drumming as the mix, but the drum mix is killer

      there's been some other slick stuff, but the loudness wars in the last few years have killed most of it for me...
      • I'll 2nd these. Tool's mixes are always inspirational. Josh Silver of Type O is still pushing out his huge sound. Hes a big methods can't help but come into my work.
        Also being a Huge Matt Chamberlain fan when Mark Hawley/Marcel van Limbeek get behind a mixing desk and mix his drums for Tori Amos albums it's just downright amazing.
        Portishead's new CD is what i'm waiting to hear. 1st album i've been excited about in some time.
  • My two all-time favorites are Love And Rockets' "Hot Trip To Heaven" (produced by the band) and Tripping Daisy's "Jesus Hits Like The Atom Bomb" (produced by Eric Drew Feldman and the band)... 10+ years later, I'm STILL hearing new things in the mix almost every time I listen to either of them.

    Relatively recently, Sigur Ros' "Takk..." and The Flaming Lips' "At War With The Mystics" are both sonically gorgeous.
