A few years back, I noticed that several of my favorite albums by multiple bands shared a common theme. But not until listening to Soen's "Cognitive" did I put the pieces together. And that common theme was either production or mixing by David Bottrill, a spectacular Canadian record producer who brings out the best in the artists he works with. These are my top 20 albums either produced and/or mixed by David Bottrill. Let me know if I neglected to include any other classics.
I know...to have Dream Theater this low on the list is a crime. But he only mixed it. And, although I like Dream Theater, I am not a huge fan. A bit too much wankery.
