Wow, this thread has certainly been interesting! It's great to see so many different opinions...AND...it would be wonderful to find out if havona really is Prater. Seems likely
My props to havona, if it really was Prater; i'm of the opinion that we would welcome his presence here.
In regards to his productions, namely on Images and Words, I really like it. Granted, the triggered snare may not have been the perfect choice, but when you compare David's production on the original album to the remixes on the "Greatest Hits" for example, the original destroys them. What honestly keeps me coming back to Images and Words is that it has a depth of sound that is unique, and a character that is equally unique and inviting. I love the mix of guitar and keyboards on that record. And "ACOS" is perfect in my "ears"
Anyways, not that I needed to give my opinion on the production...lol...but again, this thread has been cool to read and to ponder.
