In February 1995, The WaPo described #Albini as a “post-punk barbarian.” By Sept 2023, The Post called him an “era-defining alt-rock producer.”
He was prolific, telling the Free Press Houston in 2018 that he had worked on a “couple thousand” records.
One of those was in the late 1990s w/ #RobertPlant & #JimmyPage, to create their first release of new material since #LedZeppelin broke up in 1980.
He began the article with an image: “I imagine a trench, about four feet wide & five feet deep, maybe sixty yards long, filled with runny, decaying [excrement]. I imagine these people, some of them good friends, some of them barely acquaintances, at one end of this trench. I also imagine a faceless industry lackey at the other end, holding a fountain pen & a contract waiting to be signed.”

AVENGED SEVENFOLD Frontman M. SHADOWS Calls Out Spotify's Lack Of Artist Control
"They don't tell you who's listening to your music. They don't let you reach out to them."
This example relating to the #SeanCombs "situation" is a great breakdown of how ridiculous, overly broad Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) are used to keep people silent.
Especially find the lengths of times included laughable. Surprised neither Jesse or David mentioned how the specific times quoted from an actual 2022 NDA are the same as some #copyright terms have (illegitimately) expanded to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=at0iMHbCb2U #Diddy#PuffDaddy#Music#MusicIndustry#Corruption
