The first that springs to mind is former Beatles engineer, Geoff Emerick, who was the mixing engineer for Triumvirat's Spartacus album.

Also:

Producer Peter Hauke, who was with Bellaphon Records, and produced progressive artists like Nektar, Pell Mell, and Dzyan

Producer/Engineer Conrad "Conny" Plank, so important in the emerging German progressive movement, so many involvements, what comes to mind is the Eloy debut and Helmut Koellen's solo record, but there are countless others.

ECM Producer Manfred Eicher, mainly a jazz label, with some progressive artists I like such as Terje Rypdal and Eberhard Weber.

Producer/engineer Eddie Offord, who worked with Yes and ELP, among others. (like the Andromeda debut album)

I don't know how to technically describe what they have done, but it works wonders for me as far as appreciating their art.

My favorites:  Trevor Horn,  David Hentshel, Rhett Davies, Brian Eno (not a prog producer but a great one), and Todd Rundgren.

Still no takers. LOL  Ok, then. David Hentshel for his crisp production on many Genesis albums, especially And Then There Were Three with great ADT used for Collins chorus and his big sound on Renaissance's A Song For  All Seasons album, that made some of the lesser songs better than they were.

No takers for this thread so I'll throw in a one. Terry Brown for his early work with Rush and helping Queensryche with their bid to go prog metal on Operation Mindcrime and the follow up album Empire.

Eddie Kramer for his outstanding work as engineer for the Jimi Hendrix Experience. He also mixed the songs. Everything that's important to hear in a Hendrix song, you will hear. His early subtle stereo panning and unobtrusive use of volume is what makes a song like Along The Watchtower really standout.

Here's one for the Tech heads. List the best Prog album producers and/or engineers and their particular albums you like. And list what you like about the producer's or engineer's work.
