In a way, Albini hasn't done anything, save provide the atmosphere for a band to show themselves, warts and all. That this in itself might seem like a radical thing, though, is exactly why he is so highly prized.
doesn't mention his infamous rapeman phase for some reason. or is that a different bloke? gedge writes about him in the sleevenotes for seamonsters remaster i think, says he spent about three days setting microphones up and then the band just played live.
I love Big Black. Their album "Songs About Fucking" rules--in fact, I just listened to it the other day at work. A good cover of Kraftwerk's "The Model" is on it.

I'll have to pick up that album one of these days. That cover of The Model is great.
