Mark Knopfler Discussion Forum / Re: The Jimmy Iovine sound
« Last post by hunter on November 23, 2022, 10:54:41 pm »I love this quote by Iovine:QuoteThe right people were in the room together. It really was making a record in the pure sense of the term. The whole thing sounds like one song. But you what that is? That's the writing, the guy who wrote it. He wrote the album like that; he wanted to make the album like that.
Always wondered how a second DS album with Iovine would have been.
It would sound like a studio version of Alchemy
Thank God he didn't work on Communique. It's perfect, almost sacred to me.Edit: Missing word.

The whole band was fantastic.
My biggest regret is when the european tour aborted in the mid 2000's following the bombing.

I only started listening to Tom Petty this year! Love his music. And his guitar player, Mike Campbell, is amazing. Much more rhythm oriented and riff based than, say, Mark, and very minimalist, but SO tasteful.
Mike Campbell is a cool guy, and he says in interviews that he is a fan of MK.

Edit: I found the part where they talked about the drums. Very interesting. It's indeed a huge drum sound they developed, and it's the same sound they used on Making Movies. Sounds great for those big, cinematic songs Mark wrote for that album.
