Trevor Horn producing new album?

An anonymous person writes:

The Independent (U.K.) says that Trevor Horn is producing the new Moz album. I think this is probably a mistake. Morrissey is recording at Horn's studio (Hook End Manor), supposedly with Jerry Finn producing. Maybe Horn is producing some of the songs? It's an intriguing idea, isn't it? The new Belle & Sebastian album is pretty good.

    Trevor vs Jerry (Score:2, Interesting)
    even when i find the new B&S album the lowest point in their career (sorry Jordi!), Trevor's work at studio was amazing and, if there's someone or something to be blamed for "Dear Catastrophe Waitress" is Stuart Murdoch's happiness.

    so maybe Moz still listen to some pretty indie stuff nowadays... or maybe He really loves t.A.t.U's cover after all!

    Jerry? even when I try, I can't find anything good to say about the "sound" of those bands he produced in the past.

      P.S. Why didnt the last 2 people score anything. I guess the procedure is you have to spunk over Moz to attain a point

              Trevor Horn was the producer of an early hip-hop album by Malcolm McLaren and the World's Famous Supreme Team, called `Duck Rock' (1982). It is considered a very important recording in the hip-hop world. I'm talking about the good hip-hop -- before it was completely destroyed by the vile creatures of the late-80s thru the present.

                The Sanctuary deal is only a 350 thousand dollar deal(all-in recording budget,producer fee,artist advance etc.) and Horn's advance fee for a full album would be 100 thousand minimum. The average poster here might not know it but as producers go he is a big time as big time gets.

                    I can tell you without any doubt that a record company in charge of a band that only sells 60,000 copies max in the Uk (Belle and Sebastian) wouldn't pay £100,000 for a producer so we can assume Trevor Horn may not be that expensive.

                        I cannot see why Moz couldn't spend the supposed big money that a big-name producer would demand, or increase the points the producer gets and get someone like Nigel Godrich - his production is awesome. In the past the production has let the man and some decent songs down, Southpaw Grammar anyone?

                          I hope the "You" refers to Prince Charles and the cover shows Moz on horseback chasing him on wooden mallet.

                          but i do like the title. kind of confrontational.

                              And I think at 35 and after six albums, Stuart Murdoch is entitled to want to sell records to the masses. Like Moz, they can't remain 'our little secret' forever.
