Anything relating to the first few R.E.M. records, (and particularly Murmur) is incredibly poignant for me as it is from there, back in 1983, when I turned eighteen, that I began to establish my own sensibility and sense of identity. The production of that record still sounds incredibly magisterial to me. Imbued in wonder, invention, daring and youthful exploration. Easter produced that record, in addition to the band's debut Chronic Town and Murmur's fabulous follow up Reckoning. I was never quite the same again.
