It seems his perfect music platform is Quboz, which is fantastic as a music enthusiast, and I love it, but it’s overkill for most people.
Back in the gatefold vinyl days how many people were saying “oh wow my favorite recording engineer worked on this?” Virtually nobody is likely the answer.
I think his real problem is most people aren’t as in ti music as he is, have bad taste, are bland, and content with a normie life full of normie songs and normie shows.
But that’s a big market.
- ddingus 3y agoLol, almost nobody. But I did, along with a few very nerdy music friends. Nobody else even knew or cared.
- OfSanguineFire 3y agoEngineers? Probably only a few anoraks cared. But people were definitely paying attention to who produced the album. After all, that is why Nirvana wanted to work with Steve Albini, who had produced the Pixies. It is why music fora often feature debates on whether a particular producer improved a particular album, or ruined it. Similarly, if an album had string arrangements, or extra horns or percussion, and the performers were listed in the album art, ordinary listeners did follow up on that and seek out those performers’ own recordings.
