[edit] Recording Process

I'm fairly confident that Steve doesn't rely solely on room mics to get his signature sound. He's well known for using them extensively in his work, but he surely mics each instrument individually and records them to their own dedicated tracks as well. 206.15.76.98 19:17, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] People From Montana

Um, if he's from Pasadena, but mostly spends time in Chicago, where does the Montana bit come in?

[edit] Comparison

The article states:

His playing style in the 1980's was often compared to that of Charo, lead guitarist of Black Flag.

Charo was never in Black Flag. Chavo was, but he sang. Greg Ginn was Black Flag's guitarist.

[edit] Unsourced claim

The above has now been edited to:

His playing style in the 1980's was often compared to that of Greg Ginn, lead guitarist of Black Flag.

which is an unsourced claim that in all likelihood is not true (see WP:CITE). I'll delete it shortly. --- Charles Stewart 15:30, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Drug Music?

From Engineering anecdotes, end of 1st paragraph: Another Albini trademark is his habit of generally keeping vocals "low in the mix," or much less prominent than is usual in drug music.

What's "drug music"? Is this a typo? {unsigned}

No, its vandalism. Fixed. --NightMonkey 00:07, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of Albini albums?

Can anybody start making a list of albums that Albini has recorded/produced? Then More can aid... {unsigned}

Uh, a wikilink is right there in the first section... --NightMonkey 00:04, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Albini with Fugazi

Can anyone find a source for the reference to Albini's work with Fugazi? I haven't been able to find one.

[edit] ===================

There isn't one... wishful thinking on someone's part. Fugazi (at least credit-wise), are entirely in-house with Dischord.

couldn't someone just call him and ask? (j/k)

My only thought is that he recorded a live show in chicago or something...

In the Nirvana bio Come As You Are by Michael Azerrad, it says that Fugazi had recorded an album with Albini, but both parties were dissatisfied with the results. 206.15.76.98 19:09, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Albini recorded demos for In on the Kill Taker with Fugazi. - 203.194.16.97 01:19, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Photo

Can someone upload a photo of Steve? He's totally dreamy.
