Dødsfald: Nigel Gray – producer for bl.a. the Police – er død
4. august 2016Endnu et dødsfald i den lange række inden for musiklivet: Produceren Nigel Gray, der stod for The Polices tre første album, er død.
Andy Summers, ex-Police, skriver på bandets Facebookside:
He was an empathetic and gifted producer, a kind and generous man who allowed three hopefuls into his studio for nothing and gave us the chance to make our first album Outlandos D’ Amour . With and because of Nigel’s encouragement and patience and the days and nights at his studio, Surrey Sound, we were able to find our style -almost against the prevailing rage of the London punk scene in those days.
He was very important to us , got what we did and pushed us forward. The memories of Nigel Gray and our time with him remain vivid and cherished.
Pax Nigel
-Andy Summers
Gray producerede også for Siouxsie and the Banshees, Godley & Creme og flere mindre kendte navne.

Hej CAPAC
En note.
Nigel Gray (R.I.P) var ogsÃ¥ manden bag knapperen pÃ¥ denne lille temmelig ukendte popperle fra The Planets i 1980 – ikke helt ulig The Police i stilen.
The Planet var pÃ¥ ingen mÃ¥de et stort band. Men denne har jeg haft pÃ¥ hjernen siden engang nede i 80’erne.

@Thorstein Namke: Kender den ikke, men vil da støve den op. Ja, Gray havde en del (godt) på samvittigheden.
