Nobody ever looks at me twice
Bernard Sumner
Boz Boorer.
Didn't they try that with the early "ringleaders" sessions & decided it didn't work out?? I recall that's when they brought in Visconti (I believe my source on that is the ever-handy Mozipedia). I believe Moz said he'd work with Visconti again, so maybe......
Mike Chapman.
I've been listening to Parallel Lines.
A lot.
Hear Hear. Chapman writes in the liner notes how he kept pushing each band member to exceed themselves and the result is telling. They were never better, or even nearly as good.
Incidentally, do you too find that the more you listen to that album, the more it becomes about Debbie Harry's extraordinary command of the music? I found myself listening to these amazing pop gems again and again and again until the songs, remarkable though they are, really had nothing more to offer - and then I found myself continuing to play them out of sheer wonderment in how completely she wraps these fantastic melodies around her voice, utterly controlling them in a way that is so subtle you don't really notice it until you stop noticing all the other great things in the songs. When the songs are almost overly sweet ("Pretty Baby", "Sunday Girl") she would break the sweetness with forceful shrieks, and when they are not ("Picture This", "Fade Away and Radiate") she sang with precision and restraint. Such authority.

Hmm..Does anyone think it'd be any good if he would produce it, himself?
What about Alain? A better pick than Boz, since he's a better songwriter.
Brian Eno would be very interesting, especially after listening to "Everything Happens Will Happen Today" he did with David Bryne.
