“Though he was a native of the U.K., Iain Burgess’ name was ubiquitous on some of the most influential recordings from the Midwestern post-punk scene of the '80s, and he could boast of engineering credits on some of the best records Chicago ever produced, among them “Atomizer,” “Bulldozer” and “Racer X” by Big Black, “Fly on a Wire” by the Effigies, “Throb Throb,” “All Rise” and “Jettison” by Naked Raygun and “Three Chord Monte” and “Earwig” by Pegboy.”
Iain also produced a few of the early Ministry recordings. He was a dear friend at one time.
Sad stuff. I can’t pick out his talent from the recordings I have heard, but I love those Big Black recordings. wempathy, did Al purposely go to Iain for the Albini connection, or because he was just there/cheap?

well if it’s the really early stuff, then obviously al had no choice but to do what his label said.[crazy]
but regardless condolences… always sucks to lose a friends and good person.
