Joe Meek. The name haunts anyone who researches record production of the 60's. His secretive and forward-looking production techniques presaged what many others developed later on. I mean some of this sounds like early Pink Floyd yet it was recorded in 1960! Weird sped-up vocals, strange echoes on the drums and odd tape distortion all give this an unreal sound. Oh, yeah, it's a concept album about the creatures that live on the moon... (RPM, 41 Garfield Road, London E4 70G, UK)

Eventually Something Cool Will Happen CD
by Larry Crane
When people talk to me about movies, I mention that I follow directors and rarely pay attention to actors. When it comes to records though, I don't think I'd pick music based on who "produced" it....
