11. Dream Theater – Falling into Infinity (1997)
“I only produced one record with Dream Theater but I ended up mixing a lot more of them. It wasn’t the most fun record in the world to make because the record company was dying for these guys to have a pop hit and they were not really interested in having a pop hit… but we were trying a lot of things.
“Mike Portnoy and John Petrucci have got a certain way of working and we worked well together. It was a really challenging record to produce.
“It’s probably not the best Dream Theater record in the world. I think some of the ones that I’ve mixed are better records but I wanted to put it in there because it was quite a departure for me to do a really progressive record like that.”
