but I don't know which albums has produced Albarn. True, he seems like a guy who is able to get all his ideas out on to the record, but he usually needs someone like Danger Mouse or someone to make that vision become reality. To be honest, I think the only tunes he's produced are the two new Blur tracks, Under The Westway and The Puritan. But likewise with everyone, Noel working with Damon Albarn is definitely something which I would love to happen. Damon's out of this world musical ideas mixed with Noel's incredible melodic ability? The whole concept is the most appetising dream of all time! Forget Amorphous Androgynous, get on it with Damon! But that wouldn't be like Damon producing an album. That sounds more like a collaboration.

Most artists can't occupy both chairs at the same time: artist/producer. We've only seen Damon in the artist role and it seems as if he knows he can't occupy both at the same time. However, that doesn't mean he couldn't produce. In the end, the producer is just arranging the ideas of the artists into a coherent sound that will make for a good song. Producing is less of a skill. It's the equivalent of being a book editor. What it requires is having the ability to listen, communicate, and put yourself in the same frame of mind as the artist. If the question were, "who would you like to mix the album?" then it wouldn't be Damon. Mixing is too much of a technical skill. However, I could definitely see him as a producer solely. Pushing Noel's ideas forward, especially in terms of instrumentation.

I wouldn't do Noel just because as I said, most artists aren't good when they have to sit in both chairs. I think Noel could be a fairly good producer if he was working on someone's work, but I don't think he'd be too good working on his own. I don't know. I just don't think Noel could fully occupy both roles of the artists and producer. Remember, the HFB's demos Noel sent to Sardy were apparently, eh. And though his production job on HC is not bad, it's not good either.

Why has everyone said Albarn? What a bizarre choice.

Why has everyone said Albarn? What a bizarre choice. Exactly! Surely 1/2 of his musical chameleon ability was cos he himself was so open to work with producers you wouldn't associate him with? Realistically noel is a million plus seller self funded / not record company money so any producer in the world would work with, Damon is not a realistic choice or interesting choice at all.. Tho my friends jaws dropped at hearing that!!
