You're the one who started throwing copied credits from Discogs around. |

Maybe you should try reading all of the credits instead of just the track-based credits. You know, the bit I just copy/pasted for you. |
Sasha has always been solely credited like that, even when Richard Dekkard or Tom Frederikse were doing all the studio work. And that isn't conjecture, that's something Sasha openly admitted in interviews. Early in his career just about all he could do production-wise was play keyboards.
"Sasha" as a production credit is, in practical terms, a collective moniker. Hence why on the credits you've just cited A Coe is given a specific credit for writing, but not for producing.
There's no denying Sasha has a lot of creative input in his records, and I wouldn't be surprised if he does a lot of writing. But you seriously cannot ever call Sasha a good producer. |

I'm not denying any of that - what I was actually getting at was that you cannot ever really know what goes on in the studio and who does what on the tracks unless you actually happened to be in the studio. |

exactly and the closest way of knowing is by hearing it straight from the horses mouth. Alex himself explained the process; hes not as involved in the technical aspects but he puts in the ideas and most often comes up with the melodies. i guess you can look at it as a band, where the creative force comes up with the demo (the idea) and the others chime in to help mold the song. so yes, you can call him a good producer or at the very least a good song writer. |

That isn't production. I'm sure he sits there and tells his studio mates how he wants a part to sound, but anyone can do that. I can do that. I have done that. Likewise, a rock guitarist or a jazz drummer or a folk singer could write melodies. Could they sit down with studio equipment and make a slick-sounding dance record? No chance. Production is an art in itself, and Sasha absolutely, comprehensively cannot do it. He's relied on co-producers and engineers for his whole career. The only Sasha record I can't hear another producer's sound all over is Arkham Asylum/Ohmna, and even then I suspect it was produced by Phil Dane. |

| It's hard for me to pick just one, because I always have a flavor of the week.. nowadays I'm hooked on Audiofly and Yousef, for example.. but my favorite producer of all time I guess would be Joris Voorn.. even if he's gotten away from the deep prog he used to make, I still like his techy summer anthems he's producing these days. |
